@TheRestHistory Also having trouble from Friday pm I-phone Spotify World Cup of Gods and the next few on… Hope you’re back up and running soon

@jonniegrieve Hello! We're trying to get to the bottom of the issue playing episodes. Would you mind giving us the following info: 1. What device you're using 2. What listing platform/app (eg Spotify, Apple Podcasts etc) 3. Which episodes not working Really appreciate it!

Hey @thriftycars here at SFO airport, waited over an hour in line for our pre-booked pre-paid rental. Now been waiting another hour and still no sign of the car. Kids are bored and hungry! What’s the deal? Compensation? Keys? Anything? #RentJustRight

@AlgosJoni Amazing, congratulations! Please pass on all my best wishes and congrats to Lucy too!

This turned up today

Was the Sinclair C5 just 30 years too early?

So what do we think of #ArtificialIntelligence in Britain? When asked about expectations of impact on a scale of very negative to very positive (0-10) - seems many are either neutral, or perhaps more likely just don't know. Distribution slightly more +ve than -ve though

@billwells_1 @DavidHalpernCEO @timleunig @stianwestlake @tonywilsonIES @KayleyHignell which argues for more test and learn, some proper evaluation etc

@billwells_1 @DavidHalpernCEO @timleunig @stianwestlake @tonywilsonIES My memory of 'ONE' was bringing the Employment Service and Benefits Agency together, an experiment pre Jobcentre Plus (where they did). Don't thing the Single Working Age Benefit was part of that. You should look at @KayleyHignell recent long read though @kayley.hignell/detached-from-reality-72bba55961f1" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@kayley.hignel…

Nice piece from @stianwestlake - incoming exec chair of ESRC - supporting experiments in gov. Would add methods skills to the list of barriers. Policymakers with knowledge of experimental design and evaluation can/should incorporate in their stride... theguardian.com/books/2023/mar…

Lord Richard Layard kicking off his new book on #Wellbeing - Science and Policy, with the most important message helped by ⁦⁦⁦@davidshrigley⁩ #LSEWellbeingTextBook

Key points 23% have some form of financial vulnerability (other definitions are available) Key groups include Those renting Young(ish) adults 25-34 Parents with dependent kids Annual income of £10-15k Those with a prepayment meter All with higher odds of financial vulnerability

Think it might have been Alan Davies on an ad for Abbey National 20 years ago who said something like 'Life is complicated enough' True here too - one main reason for being inactive is not enough to consider the myriad of factors that people consider in work, retirement etc

It's rarely sickness or caring or change in lifestyle or covid. It is often a combination of sickness and caring and not wanting the commute anymore and having maybe enough to get by and wanting to spend time with friends/family and...

This is a great thread. The LFS chart is 'main' reason for inactivity. (We, @ons and others, should do more to look at combinations) The Over 50s Lifestyle Survey did this - plus did some qual research - which shows older people 'retired' for combinations of reasons... 1/2

@statsgeekclare I believe it was indeed recorded! @WhatWorksWB should be able to give the details. Hope you are good?
