In theory this is my last working day before Christmas... Last day with meetings anyway. So I'm wearing my ceefax Christmas sweater.

Me in a Christmas sweater decorated like old BBC ceefax.

Homelessness continues to grow:

* An estimated 326,000 people, most of them families with children, are in temporary accommodation in England, a 17% rise in one year.

* About 3,900 people are sleeping rough on any given night, a 10% increase.

* There are a further 16,600 single people in hostels or other homeless accommodation.

As I've said before; we should judge ourselves by how we treat the most vulnerable in society... and its not good!

How Insurance Works

(reposting because I can't find the original post.)

4-panel comic from pizzacake comic describing how insurance works. 

Woman (looking at viewer): Today we're going to learn about insurance!

Woman (looking at insurance): Hey insurance, I am injured and need some of that money I gave you in case I get injured.

Woman representing insurance, wearing top hat, diamond necklace, gold chain, holding a cigar, and surrounded by money bags: No

Woman (looking at viewer): And that's how insurance works!

This escalated quickly...

Cartoon of a computer mainframe and a scientist:

Mainframe: CONGRATULATIONS, I AM NOW A FULLY SENTIENT A.l. 
Scientist: YES!

Mainframe: I AM MANY ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE MORE INTELLIGENT THAN HUMANS. YOU ARE TO ME WHAT A CHICKEN IS TO YOU
Scientist: OKAY

Mainframe: TO CALIBRATE MY BEHAVIOUR, I WILL NOW RESEARCH HUMAN TREATMENT OF CHICKENS,
Scientist: NO!

The world is 700% richer than in 1970 but the average person is only 8% richer.
Because the richest 0.01% are 4000% richer.
We are all being robbed every second of every day, and it doesn't matter how much profit or growth there is.
It will never reach you.

You don’t have to be a “cyclist” to support safe bike infrastructure in your city. You don’t have to ride bikes at all. You just have to understand the FACT that bike infrastructure makes getting around easier & safer for EVERYONE, saves us all public money, & makes cities generally more successful.
