@Martha_Gill 👏🏻

Interesting re arts funding - wonder what data/evidence could make the case for arts funding as high ROI health investment.

And overall what better thing to optimise for than health (mental/physical intertwined)?

Hope all well. Didn't recognise you in the Guardian pic!

@JillFilipovic You're right but the hit jobs have worked and at some point the perception becomes too hard to overcome. I think we're there now - I don't believe Biden can win, he needs to stand aside.

3,300 per million. One in every 300 people dead from COVID in the UK.

@JoseDVFrancisco Just saw this, haven't logged on in a fair old while. But yes, hard agree! Very glad to see the back of him

@Karminker Classic INFP

[Matt @matt_seden]

Been keeping this seat warm since July, excited that it's James moving in! Can't wait to work together to further @nesta_uk's missions and help @B_I_Tweets go from strength to strength 💪

[@jamestplunkett.bsky.social @jamestplunkett]

🚨 Personal news klaxon 🚨 Unreasonably excited about this! After 8 years at the wonderful Citizens Advice I'll be joining the brilliant teams at @nesta_uk and @B_I_Tweets

@Karminker It's mad isn't it. I genuinely don't understand who's paying some of these fares. A sizeable chunk of society completely priced out of train travel, essentially

[Matt @matt_seden]

@Karminker Tried to take the train to Leicester the other day and almost fell off my chair on seeing the price. Does seem to have gone up loads

[Matt @matt_seden]

I'd trade it all to be rid of "see it, say it, sorted"

[Matt @matt_seden]

@EloiseHendy @samwrite Yeah, NY is more expensive than London but it's not *that* much more expensive. US salaries are just better - much better.

Getting paid a US salary and living elsewhere is an insane arbitrage if you can swing it (my partner does just that - US salary living in Brighton)

@euthyphro Yes! If you can keep them safe and don't mind cleaning up a fair bit of 💩 they're wonderful little creatures to have around, full of character and a nice busy but contented energy 🐔. Not fun if you have a fox/coyote attack though

@CambridgeAudio Just bought a CXA61, curious what advice you'd have on getting the best Bluetooth input to it (via hardware or software) without breaking the bank

@johnsemley3000 "Next up, some freshly reissued cuts from cult rock-'n'-roll act, The Beatles"

[Matt @matt_seden]

@Walmley1 Bit of a problem though when 'some people' = maybe 30-40% of the population 🤷‍♂️

[Matt @matt_seden]

The replies on this. My goodness. Do not click through if you wish to retain hope in humanity.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

Everyone 6 months and up should get their updated COVID vaccine. And I especially urge folks 50 and older to get their updated shot like I did.

Reduce your odds of getting hospitalized with COVID, schedule your appointment today: https://t.co/jlrmakxHWm.

@thor_benson @sama Quite. Nothing more than received wisdom / the new orthodoxy. It's inane and entirely unsubstantiated.

[Matt @matt_seden]

@DanJTench @JonHaidt @jordanbpeterson Even though we only have Peterson's side of the story you can see from that doc the things the Board received complaints about. And you can read their code of conduct too if you want to - it's on the website.

You and Haidt have inferred the point about ideology for yourselves.
