Had a genuinely brillant day at work yesterday and a spectacularly awful one today. What will tomorrow bring? Another. Another day at work.

Why most polls overstate support for political violence

Misperceptions about the popularity of violence increase public support for it — but you can help change that.

I've written at length about how it would make more sense for developers to be able to form long term relationships and have informal conversations with environmental regulators to get an understanding of priorities and mitigations, that's not the same thing as having a line to the boss

Yes there are predatory creeps in communities, but there are also entirely innocent, glaikit lads who don't speak much English

You can literally feel the shift of focus from fear of male violence over to fear of "their" violence. This is driven by bad actors on the far right but also absolutely the result of the likes of Jenrick and others spinning yarns about people hanging around outside schools/playgrounds

There is an enormous, wide-ranging push at the moment to spread fear and misinformation among women and girls both in communities and online just now.

I just had a run in with a neighbour that I’m usually on reasonably good terms with. My kids play with her granddaughter. She has some odd views, and a number of things I disagree with but usually I bite my tongue and make nice. But today she started on about the boats

The problem with the big tent is that you're fucked when the tentpole's away.

Labeling social phenomena as British/unBritish (good/bad) is a natural consequence of the managerial class going my all in on Britishness as the defining cohesive force in the late Elizabethan/post financial crisis era.

I haven't seen a huge amount of the sopranos and virtually nothing sequential, also the have watched the first half hour of breaking bad a number of times and nothing else.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.
