I spent a week as a Deliveroo rider. And learnt a lot. First up, Deliveroo likes to claim you should earn at least the minimum wage of £11.44 while working. Me? I worked for 22hrs 50mins, rode 105 miles, did 27 drop offs and earned £120.38. That works out at £5.28 an hour🧵
I delivered to Park Lane apartments, Bloomsbury flats with swanky concierges and to the 7th floor of council flats. The bankers/Mayfair residents didn’t tip once. People in council flats were the ones who did.
intelligence in general seems to be something that emerges out of the collective behavior of individual units. "all intelligences appear to be made of parts." neurons—which are flexible and adaptable in their own right—combine to form intelligent minds, with new capacities
another: if individual stem cells are moved to a new tissue, they take on the gene expression of their neighbors. but if they're moved as a group, they maintain their original gene expression, resisting the influence of the environment. many parallels to human social behavior!
for example, cells in the neural crest (part of the early embryo) by default will migrate in one direction through the developing body; but if part of the crest is removed, the cells will alter their paths; the "knowledge" contained in the collective overrides the the individual
their point is that at each level of biology, competent subunits (e.g. cells, or organs, or individual humans) combine to develop a joint capacity that each individual doesn't have on its own. in doing so the units expand their perceptual field, overcoming more complex barriers
Radical change foments opposition, giving rise to Us vs Them dyadic confrontations. The nascent party and its group congeal or die. The conflictual context also gives rise to new regime-loyal coercive apparatuses that, in turn, help undermine other societal power centers.
This is our bookshop, Westwood Books in Sedbergh, Cumbria. It’s a large building, on a main road at the edge of town, that has been a bookshop now for 18 years. But we need your help. Even though the shop has been here for so long, we still get comments like… 🧵
As an effect of austerity and its long crisis, Greece has become the second poorest country in the EU measured in GDP per capita. Is this what a "success story" of adjustment looks like?
Here is the link to my paper ("Do higher public debt levels reduce economic growth"?) in the Journal of Economic Surveys: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/jo…
Given increases in public-debt-to-GDP due recent crises, there's no evidence for a general urgency to bring down public debt levels to avoid a drag on growth. Caution is warranted w.r.t. “one-size-fits-all” fiscal policy prescriptions (see €zone austerity after 2010) /end
"I want my children to grow up in a country where the streets are safe, the public space isn't filthy, where it isn't a hassle to get around, you can own your own home and where climate change and the environment aren't an afterthought." —Cameron leadership victory speech, 2005
Of 100 largest publicly traded companies in the world 3 are British. All started in the 19th C. Last 40 years have been a disaster for ‘innovation’ in UK. Despite gee-whiz crap from CBI & politicians… More uk tech firms on ftse 100 in 1984 than today! Specialists in failure!
The wealth of the 400 richest Americans was equivalent to 2% of US GDP in 1982 (first year of the Forbes ranking) and now reaches 17% of GDP
In honor of my last day of teaching "Economic Inequality and Growth" at @UCBerkeley, some more graphs. I'll start with the famous elephant curve popularized by @BrankoMilan. Between 1980-2020, most global growth was captured by either the global bottom 50% or the top 1%.
Threw in a stick for her to fetch but the stick sank, so now I think we're staying here for the foreseeable
Forty-odd years after neoliberalism took hold it’s clear it doesn’t work. In fact, it never had either a robust theory or the data to back up its claims. Time to introduce a new, more freeing capitalism that allows all people to live up to their potential. That’s what I do in my…
So the author, @andreamatranga , shows us stuff like this graph, which is a pretty compelling case that agriculture was invented when seasonality got crunk, and then spread in a seasonality-biased pattern:
The thing I love about this thread is the utter lie it exposes in dismissing humanities in favour of STEM. Below is an AI debate that touches on philosophy, linguistics, learning, human development & history. It is not the subjects that count but the ability to *recombine* ideas.

@CameraLeon @Iromg I did exactly the same story back in 2016 and earned £11.20 back then.
You can read all about my week being a Deliveroo rider in today’s Mail. Why many riders are in revolt and who’s ordering £4 billion worth of food every year. dailymail.co.uk/femail/article…
So why is the pay so terrible? (Apart from the lack of tips!) Well, Deliveroo’s “at least minimum wage” claim is while you are on a job. It doesn’t take into account the wait for orders. And, in simple terms, there’s too many riders. And, yes, you can earn extra pay at 3am
I delivered to Park Lane apartments, Bloomsbury flats with swanky concierges and to the 7th floor of council flats. The bankers/Mayfair residents didn’t tip once. People in council flats were the ones who did.
To give credit, ‘Deliveroo Edition’ kitchens were clean, provided a toilet for riders and drinking water. (Tho’ no shelter from rain or seating for riders who might want a rest.) Rival dark kitchens I visited were not so, err, sparkling
I also delivered *a lot* of @Dishoom meals. Think your Dishoom curry comes from a restaurant? Nope. It likely is from a dark kitchen down an alley in Stepney. Or behind Pentonville prison.
I spent one evening shift delivering to City law firms, Bank of America, McKinsey etc. The sheer volume of meals delivered to these workers is amazing. That trolley outside McKinsey went from empty to 16 orders in 10 mins. Bank of America has a special holding pen for riders
I spent a week as a Deliveroo rider. And learnt a lot. First up, Deliveroo likes to claim you should earn at least the minimum wage of £11.44 while working. Me? I worked for 22hrs 50mins, rode 105 miles, did 27 drop offs and earned £120.38. That works out at £5.28 an hour🧵
@JDaviesPhD I’ve been attending an arts and mind group (in #Stocktonontees #Arc) for over a year now - it ends in May (funding) but this has contributed to my well being more than any tablet could do. Thank you #TeessideMind ⭐️
It's always been tough, sure. But we also made the conscious decision to let basically all ad £ go to Meta and Google. That wasn't a technological inevitability - it was a political choice. We basically don't have a meaningful local news industry anymore as a result.
I’ve met some lovely people at TalkTV and and am fully and painfully aware that many of them face huge uncertainty after today. The media has always been a tough industry with some of the best people getting little pay… and it isn’t getting easier.
Wickham horse fair yesterday, an event which can be traced back to 1269 (754 years ago!) A reminder that Wickham Square (in Hampshire) is the second largest medieval market square in England Today it’s a…car park. 😡
@rodfeishalom arresting rabbis for doing exactly what torah says, which is feeding the poor and taking care of the sick is kind of anti-Semitic don’t you think?
As Rabbi Alana Alpert, one of those arrested, says, “How can we celebrate freedom as these atrocities are committed in the name of Jewish safety?” In the spirit of the holiday, we are putting our bodies on the line to fulfill our mandate to let all who are hungry eat.
Passover reminds us of our sacred responsibility to work for the freedom of all people. We are here calling for a permanent ceasefire, the full exchange of prisoners, the opening of all border crossings to allow in humanitarian aid, and an end to the subjugation of Palestinians.

@ori_goldberg You give me hope that Israel can someday change. They were helped along by Americas misguided loyalty. By endorsing every excessive action it seems it blessed them and they were normalized.
