‘What actually got people through emergencies - in the blitz, in floods, in foot and mouth, in 7/7 - was not the official machinery. It was the fabric of community that existed underneath it, and often despite it.’

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her.
Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day
And why is it assumed that consumers are the ones who should bear the brunt of any cost pressures?
Meanwhile, in Vermont…
People are getting gassed for protesting ICE. Yep, that’s still going on. America sure is great, isn’t it?

This new QJE paper concludes that the macroeconomic costs of climate change are far greater than earlier estimates suggested. It finds that a 1°C rise in global temperatures reduces world GDP by over 20%.

I saw a lovely hybrid digital/instant print camera at GovCamp. The photographer whose it was gave me a sample print, which smelled like Polaroid and did the gradually appearing. Very sweet.
A square graphic rotated slightly clockwise. Inside the square, the text 'ONE TEAM GOV' is stacked in three lines. Both the border and the text use a vibrant color gradient that transitions from bright orange at the top left to deep pink at the bottom right.
The awesome Sam Villis (@stamanfar.bsky.social) hosted the first #OneTeamGov virtual meet-up of 2026 this week.
One of the things we discussed was doing a 10th anniversary #unconference next year in 2027.
Please like and repost if you're interested.

It was a great session!
Sticker that says hope springs from many places
Thank you #ukgc26. Great day, community and discussions.. and hope!
Cool! Thank you!
If you haven’t pitched it yet do you want me to?
I’m here now. Thanks!
Thank you! Feel free to iterate on the idea, if you like.
#ukgc26 I’m on the way, but I will probably miss the pitching. So, if anyone likes this idea and wants to pitch it, I was thinking something like: given the current state of the world, does it make sense for more civil and public servants to join a union in their workplace? Or similar other ?
I thought it’s good luck!
I’m on the 8:32. 😀
Thanks Olly, I’ve gotten on a Leicester train about to leave St P. So I’ll be a little late.
I’ll check that out, thanks!
I’ve also looked at Marylebone but that looks like it has delays as well
