Interesting job 😳

When I say that Substack platforms Nazis I mean actual, proper, swastika waving nazis.

Unfortunately 3 loud Americans sat near us at the pool, one main character holding court with her minions, almost like a stereotype of an obnoxious American tourist, but with added Narcissistic main character syndrome

Played on a really cool electric drum kit yesterday. Discovered I can’t disconnect my right foot from my right hand. Fun though now pondering where I can’t squeeze a kit into my 6x7 office

Road trip today, first to Nottingham then on to Edinburgh

Rishi Sunak is still an MP. Bet you thought he wasn’t haha yeah he is he fucking is.

Cat food bowls should have a cone shape descending into the middle so there is always f-ing food in the centre of the bowl

I'm willing to help folks pro bono move from Substack to Buttondown (used them for years).

why do I relate so hard to whatever the fuck this is

amazing apology from the Torygraph about their made up story 🫠 I thought it was an amusing tale so that’s a shame

In 2016 MN Police killed a Black man named Philando Castile despite him disclosing he had a legal firearm.

Yesterday MN Police released a white woman named Jenny Boelter despite her car full of cash, firearms, & passports hours after her husband mass murdered people & was on the run from police.

Best quote:

"The self-defeating absurdity of the system is that the state has abdicated responsibility at one end while retaining it at the other. Having pushed people into the private market, the central government can (as it did in the 2010s) squeeze their benefit payments to save money.."

This is a cracking article that sets out the multiple failures of housing policy in the UK (but especially in England). I have been saying for years - the housing crises we face today are the direct consequences of political decisions made by successive Governments.

Same with Cricket imo, seems the only people I know who have an interest in it are aspirational middle class people who wear their colours up on their polo shirts

Any north Norfolk people aware of any good/reasonably priced coworking spaces?

Israel tells people it's safe to go and get aid from a site Israel itself set up.

Then, they kill 31 people and injure 170 who are traveling to that site to get some food.

Starve people, tease them with scraps of food, then kill some along the way. It's terrorism.

Welled from Cley to Blakeney Point. Grateful the tide was lower on the return trip so I didn’t have to walk back on the shingle

The Palantir “predictive policing” programs in LA and New Orleans were both failures that entrenched racism and failed to fight crime because the data they were using was already sh*t combined with more sh*t combined with biased assumptions.

But this should be fine right?

Is anyone an expert on Germany's approach to digital work across central/local government? - Onlinezugangsgesetz (OZG), also known as the “one-for-all” model. It's a way of avoiding lots of duplicative platforms/digital services being built by each local govt entity.
