Not sure how I'm supposed to explain to proliferation of ukuleles in the 2010s to my kids

Aw no 😞

I can't quantity the ROI of AI but I can for a fish finger sandwich and it's really frickin' high

I am asking you all, once again, to go easy on the tables in the team wiki

I want to be honest and open - I have been drinking rubicon lychee instead of rubicon mango for the last 2 months

Do you have a lot of cables or know someone who does? Then you may enjoy my new series of short videos - Emotional Support Cables. Episode 1 is live now! youtu.be/ejV8Sbv9ZbY?...

The data points for the big gen AI companies being unsustainable seem pretty strong. I am not happy - these extractive ghouls have made sure there are no good outcomes.

You see a lot of weirdos who assume the "chosen people" shit is about Jewish Supremacism but really the idea is that you have more responsibility. In Judaism, Gentiles are good w/ God if they follow the 7 Laws of Noah whereas Jews have 613. You're Gods favorite but it's KIND of a fuckin burden lol

some songs make more sense to me as time goes by - mambo no. 5 is not one of them

It shouldn’t be a struggle for anyone to afford food. That shouldn’t be something that we’re okay with as a human species. Everyone should have a decent home to go back to and enough to eat.

seeing the youth with trouser pockets large enough for a discman but without the need is giving me dissonance

Like my children, I love different digital whiteboard products for different reasons. Even Microsoft Whiteboard. In some ways, especially Microsoft Whiteboard.

Near tipping point

The Supreme Court has today "strip[ped] fundamental human rights protections from potentially hundreds of thousands of severely disabled people" say a group of National Charities for disabled people. www.mind.org.uk/news-campaig...

a cash-only place doesn't guarantee good food but it's a strong indicator

If you are feeling that your work isn't getting the credit it deserves, keep faith by remembering that Alisha's Attic did not get the best newcomer award at the Brits - Kula Shaka did 🌈

I can't believe I thought I liked oasis

Have seen, can confirm

you know more crowded house songs than you think you do

memorable office xmas parties from my past, ranked by the quality of catering - a thread (I hope)

carly rae jepsen is too important to be left to the private sector - she must be nationalised

in the year of our lord 2026, why is tony blair

I've got more joy from listening to 3 Carley Rae Jepsen albums over the last month than I have all of Spotify for the last year.

In most places I've worked, I've heard someone say "communication from the organisation could be better" which is easy for decision-makers to think that's something that can be fixed with the right email or meeting.

I am at the "guessing how many colleagues on the Teams call are not wearing trousers" phase of the pandemic

Mandatory training. Then mandatory monitoring and feed that back into performance reviews. And have leaders model the behaviours you need. All the pieces matter.

If you are not sure if it's worth the effort of stick foil on the outside of loft windows to reduce the heat they radiate inside - even with the blinds drawn - please let me support you in this moment. Best guess it reduces heat by over two thirds.

The accessibility industry - thoughts I have had in no particular order: • if anyone should be able to make a living from commodifying the exclusion of disabled people, it should be disabled people • ableism is endemic and leaving it all to disabled people to 'fix' is not ok

is there a "Conway's law" but for exposing the structure of technical infrastructure in the functionality/ IA of a website or app?

I have changed over to duck duck go, but I don't think we can consumer choice out way out of this one, ladz 😞

10 years ago, Carly Rae Jepsen did not invent emotions for you to waste them getting AI psychosis

“A rapidly expanding network of organisations campaigning against trans rights is shaping media coverage and political debate across the UK, while trans people are increasingly excluded from reporting about their own lives.” Powerful conservative groups orchestrate much of our transphobic politics.

You are a class 1 laser product

I have worked with amazing people from the public, private and charity sectors. They are no more common in one sector than any other.

Blog post idea: We can't WCAG our way out of widespread ableism, but it's something

the point of a meeting is not meeting notes, it’s decisions

Hot take: By the time a 'tooltip' is designed to work with keyboard and touch it's now a 'reveal and hide' design pattern Hotter take: if your text is needed you should not hide it Hottest take: if your design only looks good if you hide needed content, your design is shite

if anyone suggests i go wild swimming for mental health i will crotch punch you

Perhaps use government regulation to stop companies offering ‘unsafe apps’ to everyone? If the product is bad then age is irrelevant.

Rice cookers are ace. And if you have a casserole dish or similar (oven safe, lid with no vent holes) you can replicate in your oven using existing kit.

interviews test how well you interview - only effective if the job is being interviewed

All service design decisions are accessibility decisions. Even vendor lock-in. Especially vendor lock-in, come to that.
