Meet the restaurant boss who flouted judges’ orders for years Jason Wells’ restaurant chain has cheated workers, lost 21 tribunal claims – and not paid a single one

I’ve spent the last year investigating how the UK's broken employment tribunal system lets rogue bosses evade justice.

But this is the craziest case,by far. A restaurant chain that lost 21 tribunal claims over several years, yet never paid a single one🧵 www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2026...

#zine jam is still running for ICT4S! If you’d like to contribute or chat dm me.

We’re inviting any kind of contribution about sustainability and ICT/tech!

We encourage:
- Critical perspectives
- unfinished ideas
- fictions
- poems
- photo albums
- games
- absurdity
- thinking “otherwise”

We’re inviting game makers, artists, researchers, manifesto makers, and creatives of all kinds to make zines about sustainability and digital tech “otherwise”. The zine jam is one way we’re bringing diy + critical and divergent perspectives to tech and sustainability.

“Do not eat” written on the lid of some particularly wet feeling slime that came with a kids magazine.

The image of a cake draws me in. I lick my lips.

“NOOOOO” screams the child as she swipes it from my mouth.

Why is there a picture of a cake on it if I’m not supposed to try a bit?

It was a pleasure to jam with you. I’m excited to hear how it went!

Posting a day late to say : this was so much fun! Thanks all for playing the first cut of this zine game + coming up with new hospicing tactics. Thanks to @oliverbates.co.uk jamming on this with me.

I'll share an updated version soon here + other places + directly with those who've asked.

Insurgent Tea towels that look and feel like stretch goal rewards, but are actually provocations, manuals or artefacts you can deposit in a game box that some people inadvertently use, changing how the game plays.

Did you make any more game components in this vein? We chatted about fixing monopoly and some other things on that train ride to Manchester.

Had a great time with the @iggi-phd.bsky.social jam this week. One of the suggested constraints was to use Qualtrics (survey platform) as a game engine, and it piqued my interest so I put a small game together. It's called Research Survey - benkirman.itch.io/research-sur...

UNDERSTAND ME FOR I AM A HUMAN TRYING TO COMMUNICATE TO ANOTHER HUMAN.

I love doing the academic writing i love. For me it’ all about being in dialogue with the writing, the ideas in my head, and trying to process and learn as I write. I have to iterate. And through iteration is where I do my best

Saw a post today that advised writers to stop writing as if a human will read it and start writing for an LLM that will be summarising.

As someone who really enjoyed trying to develop a peculiar but readable authorial voice, I find this incredibly depressing.
