Geo100 FTW

Fun and successful evening #geomobLON #geo100

This is excellent news, although following on from both Mary Berry and Prue Leith, she has some pretty big Chouxs to fill.

So here’s why Palantir is keen to get its mitts on UK health data, possibly at a ‘best in market’ price… so it’s all ready to offer a Farage Fascism App with address data that people have to keep up to date for their health…

The FT notes that delusional claims about London from Trump, Musk and others are having a reputational impact.

The paper points out the capital's murder rate is a third of that in Berlin, a quarter of New York's, and 5% of that in Washington DC

Let's be clear: The flood of hatred sloshing across Britain right now is 100% a product of the political and media elite scapegoating minorities for the harms that those elites have visited upon the country.

Fair - maybe they’ve been using the same IT provider 👀

FWIW I think it can make screen sharing a bit squirrely. A colleague has one and it seems to share the whole ultrawide view which makes things tricky to read. I’m sure there’s a workaround though!

Brit here. Can’t be 100% sure but I’d be *hugely* surprised if this was a UK import restriction. The online age verification stuff is a huge own goal, but I’ve not heard of any other restrictions to shipping of goods and services.

She's a great rider, but we do need to acknowledge how well-trained that chicken is.

And that’s a second #GMTKJam completed!

All code and design by eldest (15) and this year youngest (13) got involved too and made all the art.🎨

My role this year limited to QA and keeping everyone fed and motivated. 🥪

So proud of the little slice of digital playfulness they’ve made 🙌👾

I love the Telegraph framing that the *actual UK premier* isn’t allowed to fly in a private plane to represent the nation at a major sporting event. I wonder how they’d have written that headline if it was their beloved BoJo?

Great piece from @barneyronay.bsky.social today. Captures this summer’s silly season *perfectly*.

I've made a browser extension that replaces _that_ dot with a random emoji.

So, a few weeks ago I thought it would be fun to run a community awards programme for folks in the UK geospatial sector - from established leaders to the brilliant individuals who contribute so much (but don’t always get the credit!). So here it is 🤗 Apply now or nominate a colleague! www.geo100.com

Chefs kiss. No notes.

Amazing

I fear I’ll be using this sentence a lot if the IveAI thing takes off…

My biggest advice to new managers relates to this:

Create safe spaces for failure. People have to fail to learn. They have to fail to innovate. They have to be confident they can fail to report issues. The happiest and most effective teams are ones that treat failure as a necessary part of the job.

Someone’s dad got a bit too ambitious with the den building…

Sorry for venting but another example today of how What3Words have engineered an over reliance on their platform in UK emergency services.

Came across a car which was up on the verge at a strange angle, obviously not parked - 3 cars ahead of us drove past it but experience makes me always check.
