Fag break.

I can't sleep so I'm compiling a playlist entitled "Out Out With Joe Pesci".

I've done a starter pack. Here you go.

🧵1 New followers: welcome! Lovely to see you all. Thought you ought to know that I have Stage 4 #bowelcancer. As well as posting dog & landscape pics and musings on #planninglaw I sometimes share my #cancer experiences. I haven't been that forthcoming recently as things have been tough.

There are tons of historic short films (newsreels, corporate videos, documentaries) available to watch for free on the British Film Institute's ‘Britain on Film’ subsite. 🎥🎬 Browse with a map here... player.bfi.org.uk/britain-on-f...

Yes I know which one of us looks better in my bespoke lid, designed one night last week at 2am. #legal-lid

When working away, which family member do you miss the most? 1️⃣ Partner 2️⃣ Child/children 3️⃣ Dog(s) 4️⃣ None of the above. 📊 Show results

Damn, I knew this guy was good but it's well worth watching and paying attention to @ishankolhatkar.com's sage advice. 👇🏽 Even seasoned (sage being a lovely seasoning) advocates should be able to set aside their curmudgeon sticks and learn a thing or two.

🚨 Planning x health 🚨 In our plan-led system there are many moments we can design-in things that can improve the health of communities. But too often we're not joining up these dots. These excellent research papers by Chang & Hobbs et al show that perfectly. Link: www.linkedin.com/posts/michae...

⚠️ This amazing new collection of aerial photos may cause you to lose a large chunk of your day looking for your Nana & Grandad ⚠️ 📷Considering that they were taken by a chap leaning out of a 1930s biplane, the quality of the pictures is astonishing. 📷 historicengland.org.uk/images-books...

Not sure how effective I can be at cross-platforming but couldn't resist sharing this @linkedin.bsky.social post by my pal @joecannonlondon.bsky.social. There are good humans in the legal profession, including at the highest levels. www.linkedin.com/posts/jonnye...

apple.news/AfWomlEsbTGm... Dammit, those C&A and Dolcis gift vouchers will have to elsewhere now Sure they're still in date.

This post raises interesting points but I can't get past the need to take some form of action against #inappropriategavels.

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,779,656!

Sunset over Morecambe Bay, courtesy of 19. IMHO there are few better seaside vistas .....

This is what Chat GTP considers a "planning barrister working from home" to look like. Seems reasonable.

You had me at "lots of maps ...".

Outstanding thread. Bravo 👏🏼 Bsky needs more of this!

The full conversation between Pooja Agrawal, Shelly Rouse and Gilian Macinnes about LPA capacity and skills, part of which features in Episode 128 of the podcast, is now available on the 50 Shades YouTube channel. youtu.be/_qG_hZsxsKE?...

Hope they've installed a thermostat by now ........

Quick question on which I'm convinced there must be some hifalutin learnin': is there an optimal time of day to get the best results from a customer services call centre? For context, a family member has managed to hook themselves into a crappy phone contract .....

Now might be a good time to announce that our next major app update will have video. 👀 More details soon!

Software company after a slice of a the legal dictation market. [Screenshot from promo] A *Barrister*, flushed with success uses the said software to send an email: "I had a successful hearing today. Please prepare a fee note to be rendered next week." It's just everything ......

It's weird how satisfying it is that MHCLG has rebranded its Planning Super Squad as ATLAS 2.0

Glad you're here old pal. @oldweirdalbion.bsky.social

A burglar who broke into an apartment in Rome was arrested after stopping in the middle of the robbery to read a book about Greek mythology.

#RecipeOfTheDay is a bit of a blast from the past: Gin and Tonic Jelly! I’m afraid those beautiful whitecurrants adorning it are impossible to find, now, in shops. They were rare enough when this photograph was taken, but no matter www.nigella.com/recipes/gin-...

Massive CO2 storage in extinct off shore volcanoes. What could possibly go wrong?

Every new prime minister gets to celebrate their 50th day in office by restoring Liz Truss's rightful title of 'UK's shortest serving prime minister'. Congrats, Keir Starmer!

Thanks for highlighting such a great resource. Bloody 'ell Nana.

oh no he looked at the ark

Making space for play in Paris. Love it. Cities are as much for children as they are for adults. We must stop erasing space for them to learn and play, and must proactively create these. @alisonstenning.bsky.social thought you’d appreciate particularly.

If it's gonna be a #VibesElection then we need Roy! youtu.be/FNPR4ty51V8?...

Firing Jenas for sending inappropriate text messages, the BBC refused to consider his suggestion that somebody else had done it because the evidence just wasn't Jermaine.

Bluesky hive mind! Does anyone know of a decent, free or *very* cheap venue: - In SW1 (Whitehall/Westminster) - Fits c.40 people - Either A/V or good wifi (Idea is a monthly evening meet-up for people into public sector reform, UKGovCamp-y/OneTeamGov-y vibes, a couple of talks, chat, pizza etc)

Just a personal thought. Having TwiXcommunicated myself I have little interest in what's happening over there & won't be screenshotting or reposting *content*. Pretty sure my mental health will thank me.

Welcome to @seethrujustice.bsky.social!

20 is off to Creamfields today. I recognised some of the headliners but .... Peter Tong is 64. Fat Boy Slim is 61. Carl Cox is 61. Those chaps have got nothing on 83 year old Sumirock, who drops dumplings at her family's Tokyo restaurant by day & techno by night. 💥 youtu.be/DQaU9ysNtOQ?...
