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 πŸ‘€

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.

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. πŸ₯ͺ

So proud of the little slice of digital playfulness they’ve made πŸ™ŒπŸ‘Ύ

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?

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!).

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.

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.

It's What3Words accounts filing day πŸŽ‰

The good news! They reduced yearly losses to Β£10.6m from Β£16.4m, and turnover increased from Β£1m to Β£2.1m!

The bad news! They achieved this by laying off 36 staff, and that Β£1m increase is probably from a single EU client.

They have Β£15m in assets remaining

@lauredm.bsky.social just wanted to let you know how much my 12yo daughter *loved* Botany Manor. It’s a really special piece of work. ✨

Can’t wait to see what you and the Balloon Studios come up with next!
