I’ve known about Secrid wallets for a while, and always thought they were quite cool, but I never knew they also provide so many career opportunities for disabled people in their production processes. You can read more about it here secrid.com/en-de/storie... #valuingcapabilities #accessibility
An orange Secrid wallet sits open on a wooden table, showing several cards in the aluminum cardholder and folded banknotes inside the dark protective cover.

Allbirds’ pivot from eco-friendly shoes to AI is astounding! For a brand built on sustainability, removing those commitments is a sad shift. It also raises a question: how real is a brand’s purpose, if values slip as priorities change? www.engadget.com/ai/shoe-comp... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

These annual ‘year wrapped’ things are melting my brain. Spotify, Amazon, Strava, LinkedIn… mostly fine. But Miro? 256 collaborators. 1,936 boards. ”Specialism in workshops.” Lots of numbers. Zero insight. Genuinely worried about what might Microsoft one might say.

The report found that the OBR had uploaded its budget documents to a link which it believed to be inaccessible to the public. However, because the organisation was using a particular add-on to the WordPress publishing system, the link ended up being live, unbeknownst to the OBR itself.
