I learnt about www.locksmiths.co.uk/find-a-locks... today and I knew we had the ONS but on Tuesday I learnt we also have osr.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/what-we-do/ and uksa.statisticsauthority.gov.uk/about-the-au... ...

ICYMI, we joined @oxfamgb.bsky.social and @mills4humanity.bsky.social in signing a letter urging leaders at Davos to tax millionaires more.
Read this weekβs Closer Look to see how taxing the super rich can help win back our democracies.

We've got the internet, but it still seems safer, easier and more reliable to copy data rather than rely on flaky URLs to connect to it. Some data design philosophy for @wikisim.org.
Thanks Stefan Magdalinski and Icebreaker One for prompting this post.

As a request, I appreciate google forms are convenient for input but I'd like to check I wasn't submitting existing ideas that have already been suggested. For example drone delivery of parcels, personal rain water storage tanks, solar panel tiles, personal jump jet equipped emergencies services etc

Half the world lives in poverty.

Richest 56 Britons hold more wealth than 27m.
Concentration of wealth is a danger.
