Looking through my book is such a great trip down memory lane.

I’ve just read the bit about my trip to Bletchley Park with Robert Llewellyn. That was such a fun day 🤩❤️🤩

10 years ago my book Saving Bletchley Park was published: the fastest-ever crowdfunded book at the time. It tells the true story of how a #socialmedia campaign helped save the home of the #WWII codebreakers.

Now it’s finally available to download 💻

The public meltdown happening between the world’s richest man 🙄 and the President of the United States 🙄🙄 once again begs the age-old question: are men simply too emotional to be in positions of power?

@drblack.bsky.social Thank you Sue for so much, and for the interview on Australia’s Radio National this morning. Your successful Twitter campaign was the reason one daughter and I visited Bletchley Park in 2010/11.
And yes, I like that Bluesky is almost like connecting in those ye olde days.

An interesting evening at the #AI #APPG @ House of Lords

A question we didn’t get the answer to: Who is in charge of AI in UK govt + who’s the budget holder?

It’s great PM has put emphasis on AI, but why give responsibility for implementing the “AI Action Plan” to smallest dept w little resource?
