Watching the PM’s speech with Startup Coalition

From a thread well worth reading. One might add that when Labour voters were drawn mostly from the manual working class, Labour… lost most of the time. Labour’s electoral coalition couldn’t win in 1955 and would be absolutely crushed in an electorate with the demographics of 2025.

Final full day at the Labour Party Conference in Liverpool.

Watching Mrs America (which is UNMISSABLE btw) I’m reminded the US is only 250 years old - next year.

‘Too Much’ locations are outrageously stressful. Hoxton flat - Peckham rye pub - outside scene London Bridge

This is why I never fly the Irish budget airline, delayed flight yet they rack up about 10x £75 hand luggage check fees at the gate by squeezing the measurements 1cm. Priority though mandatory for overhead cabin luggage is pointless.

Rewatching Hacks from the beginning so @guyopperman.bsky.social can catch up, so so so good.

A picture of me in the kitchen kissing my baby daughter, we are both wearing bunny ears and I am holding an Easter egg hunt bag. She is chewing a sequined egg.

Gosh this has been a lovely one! Happy Easter. X

What is the point of the Oyster card readers when changing from the overground (windrush!) at either Whitechapel or Canada Water? Does it make a difference where you are coming from/going to?

I know I’m late to the party, but by golly do I love Severance. It’s even held me up from starting the latest season of Hacks

Why is the message for teens always "don't send nudes" and never "don't ask for nudes" ?

Following your post I booked my first appointment as soon as my post baby ban was lifted. Thank you for the reminder to #giveblood 🩸🩸🩸

Spurred on by a post here, today I celebrated my baby making it to six months by donating blood. Thankfully due to having useful blood I get badgered quite a bit (ro antibodies are v useful for sickle cell) but hopefully this is your reminder to #giveblood

How Sam Altman Sidestepped Elon Musk to Win Over Donald Trump (Gift Article) After helping President Trump get elected, Elon Musk was poised to dominate the country’s A.I. policies. Then Mr. Altman sneaked into the White House.

Being a successful startup founder means being very good at fund raising. This means being good at stroking the egos of powerful people with lots of money and making fantastical promises that they can’t resist.

Elon is good at it but Altman is better.
