  • ‘In a totally normal act and in no way out of the ordinary I am going to be working out of a hospital for a few days’ No-one, absolutely no one. Just say this is a shitty, deadly virus and wear a mask.
  • I muted ‘Trump’ on my twitters since the debates and genuinely felt calmer for a few days. Un-deleting it right now for obvs reasons.

  • Well that escalated quickly.
  • Really good news that gravity forms is moving towards better accessibility. It’s an excellent plug-in. I recently spent many days making it more accessible on a site so really happy to see this is going to be baked into 2.5 https://t.co/WaIwk7M8Jm

  • I really just want @AOC to get tagged in right now.
  • Old white men shouting at each other === 2020
  • Trump could say almost anything without any sort of effect. Biden makes one tiny mistake and its a disaster. Weird shit is weird.
  • RT @davidallengreen: Not. A. Single. Conservative. MP. Voted. Against. The. Government's. Deliberate. Breach. Of. The. Rule. Of. Law.
  • Spitting image is back on this weekend. And randomly I have a subscription to the channel it’s airing on, quite possibly the worst streaming service ever created, but happy i have it for this. Absolutely loved the original in the 80s. Hold a chicken in the air etc.
  • Mickey Mouse cup anyway.

  • Surely the only reason not to include councils in local test and tracing is malice, incompetence or greed (outsourcing) or a bit of all three? Like there can’t be an operational reason for doing so.

  • I think what’s so cutting about the Times’ scoops, New York Trump tax and London Parliament bar curfew exception, is not that they are surprising it’s the simplicity of the privilege — tax and restrictions are for us but not them.
  • So if these jobs have to be advertised and overseen, then is this not just a nouveau Baudrillardian ‘own the libs’ distraction technique, and did we all fall for it? Additionally now it’s in the ether will it become true. https://t.co/EMp1j3Mx4I

  • Would have loved to have been there when they clicked publish on that NYT article.
  • $750 is £587, just worked out I pay that in taxes pretty much every other week (VAT, Corporation, Directors, National Insurance, Personal) Last time I checked I wasn’t a billionaire president. Doubt it will make a difference, but it’s grotesque. https://t.co/lpjZvUEse3

  • Had the NHS COVID app since 8am and so far battery usage is negligible. Good to see.
  • Well I downloaded the NHS COVID app. Seems pretty solid. Simple UI. Not overly complex, easy to set up. The check-in feature seems the only thing that’s outside basic google/Apple Bluetooth tracking. https://t.co/NHd6I9Yxex
  • RT @tomskitomski: I've installed the NHS exposure notification app. Not perfect, but worth using, for everyone's sake.
  • Well I can’t see any recent examples of why this system will not run smoothly. https://t.co/Kf1bNCcfSj
  • First try with the trailer. A little weird, getting used to the width. But a success overall. Dropped a load off somewhere I wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise. https://t.co/1oJDK29oTB
  • The dashing hero swipes aside his great mane of golden hair as he pleads with the horrible villain lawyer to not hurt the defenceless outsourcing companies, for they know no better. https://t.co/jQYTT8U4Zo

  • Don’t tease us with your delicious promises Clegg, we know where that got us last time. https://t.co/vXdH4PvcdV
  • Just called up the Economist to sort a credit card change, has to be one of the politest, easiest customer service calls I have ever had to make.
  • Just realised with slight horror I have only been out once after 10pm since mid-March, although don’t really think that boring anxious people in their mid-40s are really the target market here.
  • I don’t really have an issue with private firms delivering services for NHS, there are many successful partnerships with orgs, but I do have an issue with shit orgs delivering shit services, maybe start with ’don’t deliver a shit services’ as a requirement https://t.co/5mqqZbRCa1

  • Increasing the upper limit value on my Covid-19 tracker to 20+ per day as my Sparkline maxed out. Lets see how long 25 lasts.
  • Why does it feel like the UK is purposefully working towards a season finale on December 31st.

  • Just seen some opposition to school streets as, ‘just shifting the problem elsewhere’. But not outside schools anymore though. Really demonstrates this is all about convenience and not about actually delivering change to the most vulnerable.
  • In 2016 are we to believe a company had all their records on a single non-backed up (hard copy or cloud based) server. Although they did enable flammable cladding to be installed so I guess competency is not their strong point. But still, fishy. https://t.co/A90ViPP5Hn

  • This is so so horrific. https://t.co/udlmg5epOr cc/ @github @Microsoft you need to drop the contract with ICE and stop helping them do disgusting acts such as this.
  • This looks very nicely done and straightforward, will massively aid development for devs (like me) that don’t want to learn react (also a little bit of can’t). https://t.co/aL1x9yWnan The pro option also takes this up to ACF levels of customisation
  • Why is one of my menu items in Amazon ‘dash buttons’ and why is one of the buttons Laphroaig whisky? Actually scrap that, I think i might know why.
  • Tory MPs would vote for burning their own shoes if there was a quid in it for them, don’t expect any sort of moral stand to be happening later.
  • Built a location based search/filter type thing today amazing what you can do with geolocation, Google APIs and native PHP functions with just a few lines of code in a few minutes, then spend 6 hours trying to get checkbox states working acceptably. Oh web development.
  • Officer, I am simply checking my eyesight on my way to shoot some Grouse.
  • I’ve bought a bicycle trailer, going to need to shift stuff and can’t really carry anything over 20kg’s for more that a few hundred meters. Prior to lockdown I managed to transport my Apple Cinema display (10kg) home on my bike, in a big bag, which was really not a lot of fun
  • Something something couldn’t make it up something https://t.co/y7bp2qXT4C
  • If international law is to be disregarded then surely Scotland can just have a referendum, declare independence if yes and get fast track recognised by the EU, same for NI and Wales. Or does it only work like that if England does it?

  • First holiday since the global pandemic started and the local military are on manoeuvres including tank and machine gun fire. And I am very glad I knew that was the case before hearing it. Although does have a 2020 vibe to it.

  • Mark Wahlberg in The Happening sequel but instead of trees making wind toxins it’s culture wars, and he has to quote tweet the entire movie.
  • I know some if this is because changes etc, but it’s kind of fascinating, imagine someone just Leeroy Jenkins along the motorway the wrong way or going anti-clockwise around a roundabout because they didn’t like the road layout. Wouldn’t happen (mostly) https://t.co/XQ1gVvjAvu
  • Just got contacted about a 7 year old site, seems it still works, but some bits have started not to, which in of itself is kind of amazing (Wordpress is on auto-update). They seemed surprised that this was surprising. Which I guess is how it should be, but still.

  • Fantastic article on why returning office workers (particularly to central London) doesn’t benefit people (low paid workers, high rent, long commutes). Also for the concept of Pret ice cream vans which would be a winner for me. https://t.co/6Ti8qhnFBN

  • Probably because it’s partly true, partly because we haven’t really been told why we should be going back. Also many orgs are choosing not to for economic reasons, remote working works & saves a fortune. So it’s also capitalist, should please Tories no? https://t.co/h6f16fG4DB

  • Additional point. I saw first hand why so many people that use the ‘emergency vehical access’ argument are bullshitters. Our LTNs have a wide enough gap for emergency vehicles to pass through. However the line of cars jumping through the no entry sign would be a barrier for them

  • Went to see the local LTN in place in our area. Great to see more space for cyclists and pedestrians. Seems a few teething problems with many vehicles not recognising the no entry signs. But hopefully that will settle down. Thanks @jonburkeUK for moving us to a better borough.

  • So if I have this right the deep state is simultaneously responsible for the slow pace of creating a coronavirus treatment and for rushing to create a treatment that will be used to control people? Schrödinger’s conspiracy theory?
