I spoke to former cabinet minister Robert Buckland about the government's proposals for SEND reform Buckland spoke about his daughter Millie, who is autistic, has learning disabilities and a physical condition. “Politicians who bleat on about overdiagnosis don’t know what they’re talking about."

"in 2024, YouGov found that Britain was the most voice note-averse country of the 17 mostly rich nations it surveyed, with 83% of respondents saying they prefer text based messages to voice notes (and only 4% saying they prefer voice notes)" www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Bloody hell. I couldn’t do 26 and a bit miles in under two hours on a bike. #Marathon

just going for a casual walk on the water (Patty Ornelas on tiktok)

There’s a familiar Libertarian story about Europe: Too much bureaucracy. Too much regulation. Too many worker protections. Too much privacy law. That’s why Europe doesn’t produce as many tech giants. It’s a neat argument. I’m just not sure it survives contact with detail.

Exhibition at the coworking space I use, will need to go and check it out at lunch time and see if they are aware of @openbenches.org

𝚂𝙾 𝙵𝚁𝙴𝚂𝙷. 𝚂𝙾 𝙲𝙻𝙴𝙰𝙽.

one mistake many weight lifters make is only focusing on arm day, since the results are more immediately visually impressive but x86 day is just as important

This is not wrong.

Not knowing what the worst people in the world were thinking every fucking day

Going to tell the grandchildren this was The Mandalorian and Grogu.

Hi this joke is for me

I built an interactive guide on how Shazam (the music identification app) works! This is the next installment in my newly coined "How The Heck?" series, where we explore everyday tech that can feel like magic (QR Codes, GPS, and now this one). Hope you enjoy it! perthirtysix.com/how-the-heck...

It’s been 10 years since I published Building Successful Communities of practice…. To celebrate I’ve published a second edition. Currently at a special price to pre-order (UK only) hellotacit.com/building-suc...

The human circulatory system, before and after proper cable management.

🔥 Incredible footage of Ukrainian Yak-52 crews in action. Pilots of the 11th Separate Army Aviation Brigade “Kherson” clear the skies of Russian drones.

Someone has documented the entire source code for Elite and explained how every line works, plus included deep dives into various functionality. Covers all main versions like BBC Micro, Commodore 64 and NES. You can also play online in browser. elite.bbcelite.com

Today I learned, as I curled into a rotted husk. She was 43. Harold was 47.

The BBC undercover investigation into false immigration claims is deeply irresponsible journalism. It does not highlight that exploitation by unregulated advisors occurs because legal aid was cut and the system is insane to navigate.

A Hungarian called Hungarian just won the Hungarian election. Happily for them the Viktor was the loser.

This is the Asha from the wonderful song "Brimful of Asha on the 45," a song about immigration and its joys and sorrows

I did appreciate the Russian doll with Orbán on the outside and Putin inside at the Tisza party 😀

Your timeline cannot get cleaner than this

What could they possibly do to top this moment in their lives? Link: www.tiktok.com/t/ZTkDwwh5f/

Bah disappointing they didn't call Project Hail Mary Bromancing the stone

Sure, two seconds of user research would have told you this was a stupid idea, but it was much more fun to do it the slow and expensive way that makes everyone hate you

This is Brandy. She practices self-care by dissociating in the bathtub. 13/10 honestly no notes (TT: monkeyshinekennel)

6Music are celebrating 1991 today. My main memories of that year are listening to a lot of dark, heavy beats and worrying about war in the Middle East. Honestly, it seems like yesterday...

End of civilisation update

Armageddon is terrible, but our only other option was diversity trainings at work.

The quality of photos from Artemis II of the moon surface is incredible to witness in real time.

“George! You can type this shit, but you sure can’t say it! Move your mouth when you’re typing!”

Very late to the party but sinners is very good isn't it

Finally reached adulthood, purchased a proper workmate as my Woolworths(!) knock off one finally died. Reggie is most impressed!

This obsession for American pickup trucks on UK roads is insane. Dave, you live on a fucking estate in Doncaster not on the prairies of Montana. Tax the bastards to oblivion

Well, that was unnecessary 😶

In 1993, "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" made a Black man the star of a major sci-fi franchise and his character was like the Platonic ideal of a loving father, a great cook, a man who uplifted others, who was kind and tolerant but MILITANTLY so, and who also had flaws like any other human. Hail Sisko

Husband is genuinely worried about the photos I take but how is it possible not to recognise this as pure art? Who is he? What is he thinking as he stares out to sea? Is he happy? His colours are one with the vast ocean.

False rumours have spread that a historic hotel in Plymouth had closed for refurbishment to house asylum seekers. This has been confirmed as fake by both the hotel and Plymouth City Council.

my favorite scale model of the solar system is in melbourne. it has the sun as a 1.39 meter orb, then you can walk/cycle out to each planet. mercury is 50-ish meters away and all the way out is pluto at 5.9km. it also has, a few steps away from the sun, a model of our nearest star, proxima centauri

Please read this, understand what the govt is doing & take action. Labour's immigration proposals swap integration for segregation, introduce a Dubai-style Kafala system of coercive employer control & drive low-income families into poverty. They're an abomination. open.substack.com/pub/wewanted...

In retrospect this is very funny

The staff at Fleet services must be gutted.
