She is aggressively trying to turn the wheel AWAY from the ICE agent. It is her very last action. They provoke her, surround her, then kill her in cold blood. I have barely slept since this happened and I don't think I'll ever stop being angry about this.

Do ICE agents have the same level of training and vetting in firearms, de-escalation or whatever, as other US law enforcers? They seem to be much more random.

Before going to see the latest Avatar film, listen to the @threebeansaladpod.bsky.social's review, and then don't go and see it. open.spotify.com/episode/1Z0E...

I'm sorry I can't always remember how many children you have, let alone what their names or ages are.

So what will Trump's rationale be for taking other countries? For taking this country?

One hour on Regent Street is more than enough to see all that's wrong with the world.

there’s loads going on in the news today, which might mean you miss out on learning that you can pressure-cook dried beans in 30 minutes. meaning you don’t have to buy tins of them any more.

Zootropolis 2 was great. (for squeezing in a couple of naps)

Good luck. You're doing great. Keep going.

new years resolutions, 9 days early because I've just decided them - buy a piano - finish designing my #boardgame, working title 'Into The Airless Deep' - open a campsite

As a public servant, I write #weeknotes to let people see what I do as Product Manager of #GDS ’s Service Standard & Service Manual. Here’s 3 weeks in one go, you lucky so-and-sos! Please have a peaceful break. Here’s to a user-centred 2026: 1/5 #govdesign

Is it common for people to find it much easier to imagine that car travel can always be improved (parking provided, congestion reduced, cheaper fuel) while seeing problems with any other transport as inherent and unchangeable (delayed/costly buses, streets being unsafe to cycle or walk/wheel)?

Trump implying that one of his supporters murdered Rob Reiner for criticizing him is really something

Trump posted this without knowing Nick Reiner had been arrested. He posted it apparently assuming that one of his fans had murdered Rob Reiner. So if you want to know how Trump will react once his fans start murdering his enemies, now you know. He'll celebrate and blame his enemies.

“Let's make Together for Palestine's record this year's Christmas No 1.” Musician and activist Brian Eno explains why one song in particular matters this Christmas.

First play of Lost Ruins Of Arnak at #boardgames club at the Raven in Welshpool last night. Bit convoluted but fun. Would happily play again. Not a patch on Dune Imperium tho. 7.4/10, 7.7 cos I won.

The Birdnet app tells me I was listening to the lovely song of a Mistle Thrush. #christmassy And that it's Latin name is Turdus. #titter

Aldi man says they're not selling marzipan any more this year and I should've made my cake sooner like everyone else.

Sprouts, potatoes and parsnips prepped. Tree up. Big Food Shop done. 90% of presents bought. Christmas cake in the oven. Guttering fixed. Very flat. Grey outside and in. Slept on the sofa to stop dogs barking at the wind. Awake from 5am. Knackered. Head whirring with uncomfortable dynamics.

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites. The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

Great job, thanks Evri - delivered! To our wheelie bin, by the looks of it, in among the rubbish, 600m away.

I highly recommend The Greatest Night In Pop, on Netflix, if you have any 80s American pop/rock nostalgia in you. Incredible footage of Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, Diana Ross, Tina Turner, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, and loads more. Really well told story...

Now online, the 9 short (>10mins) briefings from last month's National Emergency Briefing, including on health, food supplies, national security and the economy. Please please watch, subscribe and share: www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... @nebriefing.bsky.social

Fair enough, Evri, I see from your photo that you did indeed try to deliver my parcel.

In 2026 we are reinstating the regular One Team Gov breakfast club in London and also running a virtual one for anybody who doesn't have a meetup near them. If you're interested you can sign up for both using the link (and please retweet/skeet!) www.linkedin.com/posts/onetea...

I'm going #skiing for the first time in 25 years, taking my 13yo son (who's never skiied). Any tips please for kit, clothing, equipment, tricks, things to take, to bear in mind? Things that might have changed lots in the last 25 years?!

I've been using microsoft stuff at work now for about 8 months and, d'you know what... I actually... and can't believe I'm saying this... I actually think it's even crapper and crapper and crapper than I had first thought.

We've updated #ServiceManual guidance on 'Making your service more inclusive' - clarifying the language and guidance on designing for inclusion and adding some signposting from broader inclusion principles to related accessibility guidance. www.gov.uk/service-manu... #govdesign #gds

November was a good #boardgames month. I enjoyed it.

Good to see gendered crackers at the school fair again this year. Tradition! Wonder what's in them. Guns and dolls?

I just remembered Google Wave - remember that? Mad as a box of frogs. You could edit sent emails.

“We are asking for a world war II level of leadership – so leadership as if the survival of our society depends on it, because it does” - Mike Berners-Lee, chairing last week's Emergency Briefing for MPs and political leaders. www.newscientist.com/article/2506...

Another fine delivery by Evri. Still, at least they're not Hermes - do you remember them? They were rubbish!

Local friends.

Bullshit.

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Viticulture Tuscany edition, 8.5 out of 10. 9 when I win. #boardgames

A friend messaged me today, "It’s just so fucking tragic what we’re doing to ourselves. Where are the world leaders willing to stand on a ‘back to the basics of human connection and localisation’ mandate? I swear they’d get in. Ban the internet! Unplug it for good. It’s the beginning of the end."

I am envious of the woman who asked my son yesterday what football team Elon Musk plays for.

User needs first Service design second Operating model third Technology fourth This order is still reversed way too often.

Extraordinary lack of coverage of this critical emergency briefing. It wasn't recorded. Our economy, security, way of life, health, culture, society, safety and community, are all built on nature, on the ecology. It's the ecology, stupid!

Thanks to @sioldridge.bsky.social @nickoldridge.bsky.social & the team for their monumental efforts in pulling together yesterday’s National Emergency Briefing www.nebriefing.org on climate change. Thanks also go to those MPs, journalists & others who attended. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Yesterday's National Emergency Briefing saw militarists, economists, scientists & lawyers outline the immense threat to the UK from climate breakdown & rising temperatures, to MPs & the House Of Lords. www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news... #actnow

This evening my angry son shouted 'We're a stupid vegetarian, organic, wholemeal family!' So proud.
