British Boffins used to be the envy of the world. you could be building shrink rays or inventing pills that make you irresistable to women, but instead it's all "please do not be unkind about the dead violent paedophile". a source of profound national shame

Sad to see people posting on social media negatively about Rod Liddle, who died yesterday. If I have disagreed with you very strongly in life - and you die - I hope I'll be either silent, or kind.

according to my intentionally vague spiritual belief system - that if there is an afterlife, literally everyone makes it, and whatever cunty defects you had on earth will be lovingly corrected for you upon arrival - it's absolutely fine to laugh about a total bastard dying. they don't care

outside of the bluesky middle-class wokescold echo chamber, i think most ordinary british people accept that drinking until you have your stomach pumped is simply a part of the westminster job description and are grateful that their hardworking MPs do it on their behalf

my favourite guardian piece this weekend is actually the lengthy travelogue by some monomaniac who spent his holiday in spain obsessively reviewing some sort of dry pastry called a "farton" and decided we all need to know about it

imagine how easy your life would be if you were posh enough to be paid for shitting out weekend guardian lifestyle columns that are just 150 words on the topic of "i bought some new shoes and i don't like ping pong"

if your work is perfect but you like to eat lunch by yourself, don't do unpaid overtime, and don't enjoy drinking alcohol with colleagues, you're a problem

A fucking awful manager training resource: Something wrong with your employee, Alex Your star employee has gone quiet. Three months of lunch alone, no team events, work still perfect. Today you're sitting down to find out why. Alex Chen is one of your best performers. But for the last three months something has shifted. He skips team lunches. He doesn't show up to happy hours. He eats alone at his desk and leaves right when the day ends. His work is still excellent, but the change is unmissable. The rumor mill is spinning. Some people think Alex is secretly job-hunting. Others say he just doesn't like the team anymore. You've decided to sit down one-on-one and ask straight up. Your objective Have a genuine conversation with Alex. Listen to what's really been going on. At the end, figure out which explanation is true: a secret job search, preparing for an internal promotion on the Strategy team, or a genuine preference to work alone.
