I see the Australian social media ban is off to a great start.

This is the way.
Word documents should be set in styles, not typefaces. There's nothing wrong with setting up a corporate template which makes styles look like the house style guide, but individual users should never mess with formatting other than styles, bold and italics, and ideally should be locked from doing so

Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC 6 music is one of my favourite things
Having it interrupted by breathless news bulletin telling me ‘government has banned taxis for asylum seekers’ *really isn’t*
New lines like ‘Home Office spent £1k over weekend on taxis’ would struggle to make a local newspaper

The BBC is systemically terminally online.
An item about Nick 30 Ans as their only analysis of the immigration figures. FFS.

If you've never seen this, trust me it is world class.
4 yrs ago today, a family member managed a truly spectacular own goal, splintered his domestic bliss, & in the process, united the world for a day.
On popular request, I shall now recreate the livetweet thread from that day
So gather around children, for this is the tale of The Rice Truck Saga

Dockless bikes are a great idea implemented badly. They get left on the pavement, blocking wheelchairs and buggies. What we should do is remove car parking space on ever street and require riders to leave their dockless bikes in those designated parking bays.

Computers were a skill. They were taught in classrooms as a skill. Skills give you power over your tools because you work them as an expert and that is leverage to multiply externally.
And then computers became an A/B tested telemetry-based advertising conduit to brains for SaaS recurring revenue.

How to deal with a narcissist. I hadn’t heard about this until yesterday. There’s some interesting data behind these titles and definitely worth reading up about it.

Poor people will simple get jobs that pay more, according to Mel Stride.
I'm not sure why they don't do that already but that's why I'm not a serious politician.
