Thanks garage for not telling me the car wasn't actually gonna be fixed today after all before I left work early, cycled to the bus and told my kids I'd be giving them lifts from places they're now stranded at. Taxi bill incoming.

ooh. Dunno.
I am happy with Podcast Addict.
I'm screening the Emergency Briefing in my local school hall, just on their big TV.
A Facebook event + posts, some posters in pubs and on lampposts. Emails to local MP and councillors, sports clubs, community groups...
It's not hard. Maybe do the same?

Session 2 of 3, done. Absolutely smashed it. He's not coming back from this...
Lots of noise about BBC finding some people pretend to be gay to seek asylum in the UK.
~2% of all asylum claims involve sexual orientation.
There are no stats on how many of those are false.
'The critical Atlantic current system appears significantly more likely to collapse than previously thought, [which] would have catastrophic consequences for Europe, Africa and the Americas.'

the trouble here is that I _know_ there's a massive chocolate bar downstairs, and the chocolate knows I know, and is calling me, so... it's a done deal.

ok Paradise, I will now have to watch your third season.
Yeah it might do.
Or ~$90bn could do that on earth through education, and for science more directly targeted at eg hunger, climate, energy, health, transport...
The $90bn+ spent on the Artemis programme should go instead on more pressing and valuable things here on earth (no matter how inspiring some people find it, or what a relief coverage of the Artemis II mission is from the current news cycle).
Sorry.
I can’t believe that we’re on the brink of nuking Iran because a smart Black man in a tan suit once made fun of a reality tv host.
So now we'll hear how Trump's Psychotic War-crime-threatening might actually be the way to go after all. Strong Man 'got things done'.
Like stopping Israel's destruction of Gaza, having armed them and after they'd destroyed it.
We'll now hear 'Credit where credit's due'.
I know for a fact some people watching this are going to say "wtf that's Iran???" and I'm asking you to strongly question why that may have been your response.
I hate having to do the "look, they're normal just like us" post, but sometimes you have to do that when American propaganda tries to convince everyone Iranians are "animals".
HE'S RIGHT!
FUCK TRUMP!
Happy Easter.
"...even a single interaction with sycophantic AI reduced participants’ willingness to take responsibility and repair interpersonal conflicts, while increasing their own conviction that they were right."
🔊GDS has updated the Service Manual to reflect changes to the assurance of digital and technology spend.
We've published a new page setting out how digital and technology spending decisions are made, the role of departments, and when HMT or GDS involvement is needed.

I’d make the point that government guidance was always read indirectly, atomised, summarised or reinterpreted by people you don’t control. Not everyone reads the page on GOV.‌UK. Its content is rewritten, summarised and atomised all over the place.
Why do faked old photos in films always look fake?
This is Pulitzer shit right here.
Yep, can't find either in Welshpool..
But @jukes.ie's gonna fix it.
It shouldn't be this hard to buy an easter egg without palm oil in it.
"a [GDS] deputy director [...] acknowledged that the GDS senior leadership has failed to work openly."
"If top leadership doesn’t practise it, the organisation cannot follow their example."
As a public servant, I write weekly notes to let people see what I do.
In week 203, I spent half of my time in London.
I met with various former colleagues and other curious minds to discuss cross-silo service transformation, the use of AI in service design, and working in the open.
It's good stuff, all of it. Shirt included.
