I would absolutely destroy on this. But also, Netflix would need like a 24 episode series 🤷

I accidentally attended a subtitled screening of a film last night and honestly loved it! I wish there were more subtitled screenings.

I get so annoyed every time I have to spell my name incorrectly just because an IT system uses incorrect validation. 😤 #DoBetter #ITFails

First audible on the play is we have, at the last minute, decided to ditch the beef and have that tomorow. It requires searing and we only have 1 oven and there are only 3 of us this year. #ConsultantChristmas

So far we have the turkey seasoned and in the oven. Now we basically wait until just after 1pm 🤷 #ConsultantChristmas

And every news outlet thinks it's acceptable to create clickbait headlines, instead of just giving us the news and seeing if we want to read the article, rather than tricking us and then us skimming to find the news...which isn't actually news 🤷

Want to use Power Platform Pipelines with delegated deployments but getting stuck on connections? 🤷 I've just released a new solution to help with this. An app to manage connections, a flow to reconfigure connections per environment and pipeline. www.mattcollinsjones.co.uk/single-post/... #ALM

Many BN(O) families in Warrington are worried about sudden rule changes. They’ve contributed so much to our town. My ask in Parliament was simple: keep the pathway stable and honour the commitments already made.

I'm loving Hades 2. It's no surprise, I loved Hades 1 but man did they just ramp all the things up I loved and toned down all the things I hated... Which wasn't much. Except the damn Rat King Uh-Oh! 😡

This is one of the most confusing articles I've read. Pizza Hut is to close 68 resturants, with over 1200 employees possibly losing their jobs 😢 But Pizza Hut just bought Pizza Hut, saving 64 restaurants, and saving over 1300 jobs 👏 What did I just read? 🙃

🤔 If I was designing a killer AI robot, obsolete hardware to enable and disable it would be what I'd choose. Make those IT guys look through their random cable box to find that one serial cable they kept to defeat it... only to be slain because they don't have a PC with the port. 🤷🍿

Kinda wild Apple will kick ICEBlock out of the App Store on safety grounds but the Saudi government app that lets men track women (their “property”) and control their travel is fully allowed even after the Human Rights Watch AND members of the Senate begged them to ban it.

My statement on the Manchester Yom Kippur Attacks.

I am sickened by the horrific terrorist attack at Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester today.

To target people at prayer on Yom Kippur is vile and cowardly. My deepest condolences go to the families of those who have lost loved ones, and my thoughts are with those who are seriously injured.

This has shaken our whole region. I know members of the Heaton Park congregation, and my heart goes out to them and to the wider Jewish community who are living in fear and grief this afternoon.

There is no place for antisemitism. There is no place for terrorist violence. Ever.

I want to thank the police and emergency services for their swift and courageous response.

No one should ever feel unsafe walking into their synagogue, mosque, church, gurdwara, temple, or any other place of worship.

We must all stand together against hate.

Take out the trash day. Put out all your headlines on a Friday so that newspapers only have so much space to write a story and they can't cover all the stories in detail. Seems like that's what Microsoft did today except everything is online and half the articles are written and published by AI 🙃
