Seeing your quoting that beautiful scripture, I'm reminded of RAWtools, and if you don't know of it you would probably like to

Please share! Thanks 🙏

You can see in the 2014 version that is as far back as the archive goes for the official GOV.UK page that some of the bluntness was lost. But IIRC that line wasn't the only thing, there were other things that went with it. I bet @neillyneil.bsky.social knows the answer but maybe more Sarah/Etienne

I would say it leant more product than politics. But undoubtedly there was a sellable political angle which meant that product approach landed well.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I.

I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

Why Artemis is inspiring – despite Trump The noble lie behind NASA is a lie, but it is also noble

That is definitely more likely. Though it definitely did sound like Nutella.

Have I just heard a parent call their child Nutella in a swimming pool, or have I misheard? Surely, surely I've misheard?

Due to rampant inflation in Cuba, a tube of toothpaste can cost as much as 600 Cuban pesos—15 per cent of the average monthly salary. To put this in a UK context, that’s the equivalent of someone on an average salary spending £315 on a single tube of toothpaste.

I haven't gone as completely 'black box' with Replit as he has here, favouring code based tools. Maybe it's because I can't claim David's legitimacy in using the label software engineer to describe anything I've ever done so part of my fun is learning things I'd never got to gripes with before now?

Daddy, what was “code”? I’ve been doing a eye-opening bout of vibe coding recently. For many years, I’ve had a list of coding projects that I’d like to do one day…

I wrote a new blog post on my ongoing vibe coding experiences. Now I now don't even know what programming language my applications are built from.

Catching up after spending a lovely week drifting along a canal with the fam. Enjoyed your enjoying this.

It's deeply annoying that all of the people who promoted and backed Trump will blithely carry on making prouncements and grifting away without any consequences.

Tell me, when you drop bombs on giant crowds of peaceful protestors, are you the good guys?

Roblox is making me absolutely hate it with every fibre of my being. Redeemed a gift card for E's account. Except apparently I created an account of my own. The AI support claims to want to transfer it but it fails and exits with this unhelpful message. My email is verified on his account.

‘Deeply distressing for all of us’: families react to Girlguiding’s trans exclusion From September, trans girls, and young trans women who volunteer, will have to hand in their UK memberships

There is no reason to the virulent transphobia which is being "normalised" in the UK and elsewhere. Hateful, pathetic, individuals who claim their obsessive "gender critical" ideology is "protecting children", by denying children accessibility and causing harm.

watch the free youtube stream instead 🥰

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.

Alleluia. Christ is risen! ❤️

ICYMI this week the first post was published on the blog where we will hopefully start to do more of our thinking about the future of jobs, careers and skills support in the open

Building a Modern Employment Service: Digital Where Possible, Human When Needed Britain’s greatest asset is its people, but too many are locked out of opportunity.   Right now, millions are kept from good work by illness, caring responsibilities,  or simply because navigating ser...

DWP's Minister for Transformation, @andrewwesternmp.bsky.social has blogged about what we're working away on to transform the support everyone can access to help them find work, build careers and develop their skills.

Genuinely some of the most exciting work happening in government right now.

Inside the Manosphere shows a generation of men that desperately need Jesus After watching Louis Theroux's most recent documentary, Luke Smith says the crisis facing our young men is the same today as it's always been. They are searching for meaning, value and purpose in all ...

Reading my friend Luke reflecting on Louis Theroux's Inside the Manosphere

I know they refer to care staff as " low skilled" workers. They have clearly never done a day in a care home. The skills are immense. Low pay doesn't equal low skill. Truly offensive

Do settled migrants really get 'immediate access' to social housing? Shabana Mahmood claimed settled migrants would "receive immediate access to social housing" if Labour didn't step in. Is it true?

If you’re confused, this is the correct reaction, as none of this makes any sense.

ICYMI this quote comes from my long read on AI assisted delivery for teams (as distinct from agentic engineering for individuals).

I've now added a single PDF packaging up what is split across the longer web version. There's now a link on every page of.

But to start here's the shorter blog post 👇

I would like to hope that this would accelerate work to ensure digital identity covers legal persons not just natural persons.

I appreciate Sean's work here but the gap in this for me is about the opportunity it spurns to assist teams of people focused on meeting the needs of users and improving their outcomes.

Maybe my personal playing has over enthused me but I imo there's a huge public service opportunity to unlock.
