It feels like every day we're hearing about another company with mandatory RTO (Return to Office). This makes you wonder whether everyone's doing it. As a very data-driven person, my first question is what the research says. Fortunately, WFH Research does monthly surveys on exactly this topic.

A brilliant article on how promoting road schemes (dualling, extensions, bypasses) appear as logical technical solutions but sustainable transport schemes are framed as political choices.

We have been working on a website for the guerilla bench project which is now presentable enough to share: bench.builders
See where benches are, report problems, and suggest spots that could use a bench.

A thread. My favorite movies from each year, starting with:
1916 INTOLERANCE ⭐️⭐️⭐️½ This grandeur of this early mega-epic means there's a lot to recommend it, though I find the overall tone smug and cloying; an early "cancel culture is out of control."
(This is the only film I've seen from 1916.)

the story behind the story.
With farm owners protesting today over the prospect of paying a highly discounted inheritence tax, I'm sure you've seen quotes about how they "feed the nation".
But nobody is talking about the migrant workers who actually pick the crops on horticulture farms, so here's a short thread about them.
