Periodic reminder: if you find I (or anyone else you follow) boosts too much and it's cluttering your feed, the ... on my profile page has "Hide boosts from..." It's a great way to curate your feed without unfollowing.

Last night, a dream came true - I saw and captured the Aurora Borealis (aka Northern Lights) over Rhossili Bay. I've had this location in mind for years if the conditions were right. And last night it happened!

Buying 'new' clothes doesn't have to be hard on the wallet and the environment...

"Second-hand sites such as Vinted, Depop and Ebay, and charity shops often have brand-new, still-tagged clothing for sale at rock bottom prices. These items could be from online orders where the return date was missed, or people just deciding they no longer want an unworn item."

This feature, being built into upcoming versions of #Jetpack by #Wordpress is a much bigger deal than I think most folks are aware.

This morning’s ONS GDP data shows that the economy is stagnant. That is unsurprising. The government wishes to squeeze the life out of people’s spending power. It is succeeding in doing so. Of course this is the result.

What Truss got wrong https://www.taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2023/02/05/what-truss-got-wrong/.
Truss was right about one other thing in the essay published today: this country does face an enormous economic threat that the status quo is entirely unwilling to address. What she got wrong was thinking that her fantasy right-wing world offered any such alternative.

The stock market is failing according to the CBI. So why don’t we just let it go?

I posted this on Twitter this morning: https://twitter.com/RichardJMurphy/status/1942861045426516103 My point is serious. The CBI is saying that the situation with regard to the UK stock exchange is getting desperate, because it is losing out to overseas markets and not attracting sufficient business. The question that needs to be asked is, why is that?...
