"Decisions are made and un-made all the time…" #BBCLauraK

"Why are people having to pay the price for successive governments failures" is something #BBCLauraK asked the Prime Minister. This is very funny (and obviously terribly sad) to anyone who doesn't think politics is just sport / grey drama.

🎶 "She still wears that Star Wars Dress, my Eurodisney vampiress" The new Arab Strap is just about as good as you'd expect it to be, tbh. The usual dose of uplifting misery - but surprisingly danceable to.

Confused by headlines about Daniel Thomas "Slashing a dingy". Burying the lede somewhat, when video shows him slashing a dingy *with a lifeboat man on it". Watercraft welfare not terribly high on most people's list of concerns. Threatening to drown emergency workers perhaps more so.

Apparently, this is Jeremy Corbyn's house. Certainly not the #battlestation of someone who should be anywhere near power… but at least he's resisted the RGB trend (which is entirely what you'd expect from a |337 g4m3r like Sunak) #ukpol (source: www.rightmove.co.uk/properties/1...)

inho, it's inappropriate to use the "everyone you love will likely be consumed in a inescapable fireball" alert for those scenarios where it is most likely. Those of us unlikely to set fire to random parts of the countryside should be able to opt for tiered - and less terrifying - alerts.

Never forgot what #SYPN took away from us. They were this close to implementing iconic branding but decided to drop the ball by resorting to huge - barely readable - letters. Bit of a mess. I wonder which sadist pushed for the change? #Sheffield

"Moving Britain, by Design" is a thoughtful - if not a little futile - GBR visual ID proposal. The attitude - i.e. being lead by impactful, timeless and effective design, rather than "🇬🇧… what more do you people want?" - is absolutely spot on. #uktrain #UnsolicitedDesign mbbd.lkbergen.com/highlights

Latest #Figma update on MacOS has it so that if you click on a text layer you can't select it - it brings up a nonsensical dialog to replace the fonts with the exact same ones you have installed. Maybe it needs more AI to do this? Absolute joke software.
