“The inability to talk plainly and respond sensibly to the energy crisis is a big problem”
Stephen Bush makes plain unpopular sense - like economists at recent @libraryofmistakes.bsky.social #WeekendofMistakes
Government has to protect the poor but tell rest of us energy *will* cost more

The Future of Entertainment session with the panel in energetic discussion about media, AI, copyright protection and surprisingly upbeat about steady, growing need for Live entertainment - music, football, theatre… Speakers from the left are Charlotte Henry, Mark Oliver, Luke Johnson and chair Ed Richards
A glimpse of quirky Hay on Wye - narrow cobbled streets, stone buildings, blue sky and a cheery shop sign ‘Hay Ewe’ written in orange inside a fleecy white sheep.
Glimpse of highly enlightening #WeekendOfMistakes, I saw how Mafia shaped New York gay nightlife 60s-80s; future of entertainment (good case for LIVE not AI);
True cost of Putin’s war (Trump’s still rocketing). And very much more on energy, Iran, mental health…Thanks @libraryofmistakes.bsky.social
A speaker session at the Weekend of Mistakes event shows two women on stage in discussion, seated under exposed wooden beams. One holds notes, while the other gestures expressively. Behind them is a screen displaying the word “Hackers” and images of computer hackers and tech figures, including Steve Jobs. The audience watches attentively. The atmosphere is informal and focused.

The panelists are engaged in discussion, with Emma Slade dressed in red monastic robes and Lord Gus gesturing as he speaks. The atmosphere appears thoughtful and informal.

#WeekendOfMistakes www.libraryofmistakes.com/about
A gathering of people in a historic-style venue with exposed stone walls and large windows. A man stands on a staircase addressing the crowd with a microphone. Attendees, some wearing red lanyards, are listening attentively, holding drinks, and browsing a display of books and postcards at a reception desk. A chandelier with multiple lights hangs from the ceiling. The atmosphere appears to be a formal or networking event.
