Government in the service of who now? #tech #AI #regulation www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

#Reform have ripped off any faint mask of humainty. Scrapping Indefinite Leave to Remain and deporting those who have legitimately built lives here and contributed is so unkind, inhuman, and unBritish. It makes me sick that people vote for this monster.

This is the kind of free-speech the right promote. Sycophants need only apply. Racially aggravated hate is approved. Ciritiscm is off the menu. What the hell is the USA sliding towards, and how far behind is the UK? www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Can someone explain to me why so many men are wearing underwear under their swimming shorts? Wtf?

I don't pay a license fee for the #BBC to push and inflate the Farage agenda. I love MOTD, Strictly, Traitors, et al. But not enough to stomach PM Nige.

Tax rises probably coming. But doesn't it feel good to be "free" and have "sovereignty". Let's grow up and stop pussy footing around the disaster 10 years in the making. www.theguardian.com/business/liv...

No one should feel "muzzled" for taking a stand and showing support for under-represented groups and individuals. Diversity matters now, and always will. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Alexey Boas (LATAM CTO @Thoughtworks) joined Tech Talks shares what really lasts in tech “Everything I learned isn’t useful anymore. But the mindset of problem solving-that never changes.” This one’s about learning, adapting, & staying curious #skills #learning open.spotify.com/episode/5DPN...

🚨 68% of workers in Brazil use AI at work. Only 31% were trained by their employer The rest? They brought it in themselves—no permission needed “Enterprises have to embrace it—because they’re not going to stop it.” David Shim, CEO, Read AI New #TechTalks out now open.spotify.com/episode/5V5Q...

“When something didn’t work, we didn’t debate it. We cut it and moved on.” Tom Leathes, Co-founder of @motorwayuk.bsky.social No funding. No fallback. Just 3 founders, a problem to solve, and the pressure to get it right. Sometimes, constraint is the best teacher. open.spotify.com/episode/2MUt...

Not sure how I feel about the #nufc badge thing. I love the current crest, but it's not like it's the only one we've ever had. Wouldn't be against a return to something like the late 70s/early 80s - looks modern whilst also being clearly authentic to the club. Will @podonthetyne.bsky.social discuss?

Amazing. Interior design masters. Make a suit at Twickenham feel premium. Designer, at home of England, who doesn't know about Rugby, puts a Springbok on the wall 🤦 #interiordesign

The military industrial complex is realigning itself toward a tech military complex, and many of the people behind these new companies are kids. techcrunch.com/2025/05/01/r...

A week in Rio 🫶🇧🇷 #rio #brazil #WebSummit @websummit.bsky.social

I really hate it when someone sends me a message on LinkedIn (not that, that's fine) and I don't reply (which is also fine) and then they follow up with a passive aggressive "David?" - nothing else. Just my name, a question mark. Fuck off! If I was potentially gonna reply... I am not now! 🫩

Last weekend I ran the Paris Marathon. It was to raise awareness for @pscsupport.bsky.social 💙 5 others ran too, they were all completing their first marathon. Rare diseases struggle for airtime. Frankly there are lots of important causes all competing for attention. But super proud of little group!

54% of UK organizations believe security risks for their organisation have never been higher Vanta's 2024 State of Trust Report - what are the other 46% drinking?! #tech #AI #security

My dad is a transwoman. It's the least interesting thing about her, or my family. Visibility should be seen for being who you are, not your gender. #TDoV #transvisibility

Mugging if as media for the day 🕵️

Put the little guy on Dan Burn?? This isn't Deep Mind or AIs greatest piece of PR... #fail #AI 😅😂 perhaps it isn't gonna take Eddie Howe's job any time soon 🤖 #nufc @theathletic.bsky.social @podonthetyne.bsky.social

Can't help but feel Newcastle winning the League Cup shows how much Cup competitions do matter to fans! Magic of the cup and all that. To us, starved of success, it's momentous 🏆 #nufc #toon

My Dad first took me to watch Newcastle in 1992. I was put on the concrete barriers on the terraces so I could see. Between now and then they've been a constant, often frustrating sometimes thrilling. It's not always been easy but winning today... It's my home, my team. God I love the Toon. #HWTL 🏆

Okay... we feel like we say this every week but *a lot* of stuff happened. Let's break it down, starting with @brbarrett.bsky.social on why the DOGE takeover is worse than you think... (sorry, but you gotta read this one.)

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

After the horror show orchestrated by Trump yesterday, I'm going back to listen to serious voices. Alongside Zelensky I'd urge people to listen to the voices of the Ukrainian people: real experiences, not the performative bullshit coming out of The White House. #Ukraine

41% of data is unused or unwanted. There is a lot of data waste out there... And the industry is not tackling it. We're chatting through the issues on the pod tomorrow with @netapp.bsky.social #podcast #technology #data

EV sales in Europe: up 38% Tesla sales in Europe: down 45.2% Breathe it in folks, breathe it innnnnnnnnnnnn www.reuters.com/business/aut...

Number on tech podcast in Moldova 🇲🇩 yesterday. Very surprising, very gratifying. Amazed anyone listens, but very grateful that they do! 🫶🙏

With the USA trolling European values, and dictating to us, will the UK realise that our place is with Europe? We need solidarity with our neighbours and to move on from a lost decade. That doesn't mean rejoining the EU but it does mean closer ties and collaboration. Now.

Walking through a conference with this badge... I need a pen. *NOT AN INVESTOR* Sorry 🙏😂

And here is our 4th film 👀🙏 youtu.be/1qHR2Zy6nlM?...

If @newcastleunited.com win the league cup, we'll have beaten the current top 4, Chelsea, Forest, Arsenal and Liverpool. That'd be well deserved! 🤞🤞

I've been a little quiet lately... But I can't wait to share this on Feb 6th www.linkedin.com/events/techf...

I can't help but feel this GenZ graphic is a representation of our unhealthy relationship with tech. Innovation should be built addressing their needs. Maybe that's about making tech more meaningful and less intrusive.

I will never understand being sent a happy birthday message by people you don't know on LinkedIn... 🎂😂

I recently met someone who told me they'd started a podcast, but given it up despite having a very public profile and spending £2000 on a studio. Two lessons. - a 'name' alone won't build an audience - you don't need a studio Have engaging conversations wherever you can 🤞

Spoke about the need for an LGBTQ+ LinkedIn on the podcast today. My Dad is a transwoman and had appalling treatment by an employer you'd expect better from 🌈 open.spotify.com/episode/5I95... #Queer #Inclusion #work #Podcast
