I think “considered” is probably doing a lot of heavy lifting there. I’m pretty sure someone came up with it, maybe even Boris, and then he repeated it a bunch of times in front of semi-relevant people in a jokey-jokey way followed by an “…unless?”
I imagine nobody with any level of responsibility in actually producing such a raid considered anything apart from how to most politely say no to the prime minister.
Based on the article it's still going to be something you have to request, so you should still be able to have your current setup unless your company gets so many requests it decides to standardise on 4long instead of 5.
This is true. It's still an awful lot more flexibility though. And of course as none of this legislation is written yet, it could lean either way while enabling both.
I'm a big four day week stan and I never expected to see it pushed during this parliament. Obviously the end result is going to be heavily dependent on what they end up implementing, but this is potentially huge for many, many people.
If you’re a gamer then I’d strongly recommend you get a playlist of bangers from your favourite games. They tend to be high energy, low on distracting lyrics, and if you’ve played the game any amount then they’ve might have gotten associated with a “locked in” brain state so you feel like whatever task you’re achieving is analogous to gaming.
My playlist has tracks from Streets of Rage 2, Golden Sun, Pokémon, Smash Bros and Super Hexagon amongst others.
I ran one on the other place if you want some ideas on how to format it. There's also a lot of good books in the suggestions lists.
In the end I stopped because it felt like participation rates dwindled fast, but it did a good job at highlighting an interesting range of books.
Sorry to get you excited. If it’s any help, they do absolutely leave it open to return after the book time skip, they included a load of stuff that only makes sense in context of the last books.
I’d definitely give it a try! The concept is strong enough to be that I’d even consider a full reboot, although my dream is another soft reboot where the canon is left intact and we just follow a new set of main characters, and our old favourites might pop up occasionally. Having seen Amazon do great stuff with the tail end of The Expanse I think they have the chops to make it work.
Can’t believe the only strategy they have left is to buy pensioner votes at all cost.
Manifestos aren’t due out for a week or two yet.
There used to be a Twitter account called The Strange Log which regularly posted things like this. Looks like it’s inactive now, though.
