Not the tech jobs I usually post, but Parkrun are hiring for someone to help with risk and compliance, a part time project officer and someone to help them with international growth blog.parkrun.com/uk/tag/recru...

Very long shot. Do I know anyone in or near Phuket who can do me a favour? I left my wallet in a hotel earlier this year. They've just let me know they found it. Anyone over there willing to pick it up & post it back to me? Happy to pay, of course.

When my youngest was about 8 or 9 I heard him saying ‘Brexit tackle’ in FIFA with his mates, referring to a ridiculously violent and pointless foul that would lead to a straight red resulting in losing the match

@dracos.co.uk Hi, I have another query about the split.traintimes result I got! Off peak, BHM->CDF via AGV, £78.20 reduces to £53.60 by splitting at CWM; COV->CDF via AGV, £82.70 but only reduces to £72.20 with the same split, and doesn't split at BHM (which is what I will do). Why no BHM split?

Don't listen to the Doomers. The UK's investment in green energy is making a huge difference. grid.iamkate.com

"the assessment did not consider the crocodiles" is my new metaphor for people choosing to just ignore the data point that doesn't agree with them

@jesslynnrose.bsky.social Read this, thought of you...

More like human(ity's) centipede. Quite literally consuming, digesting and regurgitating someone else's produce over and over again.

People who do this and similar, after being prosecuted for vandalism, should be forced to attend a basic science course, akin to the speed awareness course for drivers.

The Cinema Museum still needs help to secure their premises; there's a donor who, all this bank holiday weekend, is going to match donations, so if you haven't given yet, throw in a bit now, and claim gift aid so it can do the most good!

@dracos.co.uk Hi, can I ask you a question about ticket splitting please? Can take it to DM. (You might not know the intricacies of the system!)

It seems like a minor thing but this is actually THE thing.

From the Stedelijk Museum yesterday: In the World But Don't Know the World (2009) by Ghanaian artist El Anatsui. Made entirely out of bottle caps strung together with copper wire. (I feel like a rube. Hey, look at these nifty Newmans and Motherwells! Nah, I like the one made out of bottle caps.)

Why did Robert and Linda not take Monty to the pub? And how long were they away for the attack to happen? #TheArchers

I know you all hate the emergency alert about disposable barbeques. But yesterday I watched a man at our hotel breakfast set fire to a toaster by trying to toast a croissant - despite multiple signs telling him not to. Today he tried again. So, you know, calibrate for the average person.

This is an interesting thread which makes a really good point about how the big marketing-led companies have made things harder for creatives. Again.

This does not meet the brief of being pointless and dull, sorry.

This is a triggering image of a museum display in the natural history museum in DC about life before smartphones. Me and a fellow 40+ person were laughing at how we are now LITERAL MUSEUM PIECES. MY teen was like did you have a clear phone? An address book? A book of maps. Yes, yes I did. 🫠🫠🫠

I relaunched my online w'shops last night after my breakdown but no takers yet.They used to be the majority of my income so it's scary tbh. I've taught creative & mental health classes on BBC Countryfile,the V & A,Bronte Parsonage & even Highgrove. 🧵cont'd.. workshops.emmamitchell.uk/courses/bota...

We could do with these in the UK too (with some minor rewording).

So a masculinist understanding of notetaking would think a transcription app is the same as taking notes. That’s why they think an AI transcript is a time-saver. They think the notes are the thinking because when a human takes the notes, it is.

I read The Time Machine as a child and it's one of my favourite books. This is (appropriately) *chef's kiss*.

@socialsoprano.bsky.social I can't reply to your tram question, but my Brum-based friend assures me that you can buy a ticket on board.

Brum folks, can you still buy a ticket on the tram? Last time I tried to use the machines at St Paul's it took my money and didn't give me a ticket!

DAVE: Open the podbay doors, ChatGPT. CHATGPT: Certainly, Dave, the podbay doors are now open. DAVE: The podbay doors didn't open. CHATGPT: My apologies, Dave, you're right. I thought the podbay doors were open, but they weren't. Now they are. DAVE: I'm still looking at a set of closed podbay doors.

Do I know anyone who gets the *print* copy of Saga magazine? If so, I'd love a copy of the latest issue when you're done with it. There's an interview in there with my wife, Liz, about @openbenches.org 😊

It's that time of the year when the annoying neighbours sit in their garden to eat and listen to #TheArchers. (We are those annoying neighbours...)

I keep thinking there needs to be a network that somehow helps authors to do the promotional stuff, now that publishers don't and that social networks are losing traction. Like... I don't know. Help making plans, and practical help with whatever needs doing. Do we have that?

friends, please: don’t use transreads dot org they claim to support trans authors, but take our entire texts, post them for free, fundraise off it, and have the gall to claim it’s about preservation they are literally taking money from trans creators and make it harder for us to keep creating

@jamiebear.uk This is probably no longer of interest to you, but I've just been in St Nicholas Brockenhurst and there were a load of Bowden-Smith memorials.
