Rodents like taking selfies: interesting follow-up to the famous Skinner Box experiments of the 1930s. nytimes.com/2024/01/23/scien…

A photographer trained two rats to take photographs of themselves. They didn’t want to stop.

I was assaulted by a senior Lib Dem four years ago today. Then on 16th Dec, Willie Rennie told me not to report him as it wasn’t sexual. The Man had bullied me for over a year. Now he was touching me. I was scared. Willie told me I’d not get selected if I reported. #AskAlex

Cost of living crisis so my boss decides to make me redundant during my maternity leave after fifteen years without even a proper consultation. I can’t afford an employment lawyer so does anybody know if he’s obliged to consult even if it’s a foregone conclusion?

I need a conference venue with: * with 1 big room which seats 100 people, * 3 breakout rooms which can hold 20 people, * movable chairs and no other furniture, * rock solid wifi / wired internet. Preferably in London. >>> Thoughts? <<< Photo by @davidthep from #ukgc16.

London needs a "new Shoreditch" and it's not about to get one. The city is fast becoming too expensive to live in and be creative, in tech or any other arena. This isn't working.
