Sheffield events venue will go ahead despite budget doubling New funding from mayoral authority will allow project to continue despite overspend.

Event Central in Fargate is pretty exciting but the over spend and salvage operation is costly...

I've just realized different fonts make me think of different people. The people who used them... is this a thing or am I being weird?

Warming up on a cold morning watching & learning about noodle making. This is great, beautiful viewing and makes me think about obsession and perfection. @captainbongofury.bsky.social where are the best noodles in Sheffield?

Event Central: Work to begin on cultural centre after long delays Sheffield City Council says the hub in the city centre should be completed by 2026.

I can't wait to see this project and Harmony Works progress over the next few years. They'll bring the new Sheffield Culture Strategy to life and put the City more firmly on the map.

We need to talk about capitalism. Why won’t Labour do it? The government has its five missions. But the deeper cause of Britain’s malaise is the unhealthy and unhappy nature of the modern eceonomy

Why aren't we talking about capitalism (or poverty)?

1. Here's why I'll never use AI to assist my research or writing:
A. I don't want to know exactly what I'm looking for.
