Looking at what @elonmusk is doing with this platform, I think I’ve had enough. Can be found elsewhere with same username. Might pop back occasionally.
I care about the change slightly less than I do about someone writing “a millennia”.
I see the useless leaders of @thameswater are doubling my monthly bill 😡 If ever there was a failure of the market, they really are the perfect example.
Someone didn’t get an upgrade 😂
Not to get too deep about something like Tier points, but there is something about @British_Airways now which embodies a hollowed out management consultancy led, computer says no approach to service that pervades business and frustrates so many people and diminishes loyalty.
This should be a cracker from @EdwardWilsonLee

My last concert of the year 🥰
My last review of 2024 tonight: Christian Gerhaher and Gerold Huber in an evening of Schumann Lieder at @wigmore_hall.

More bad news. This was a fantastic shop, which had been operating since 1908. Just like Banks in York, it had personal associations for me: I bought many books, scores and CDs there as a student. Such a loss.

It’s increasingly clear that this bill isn’t fit for purpose - even if you do agree with the underlying argument. Am hoping @JamesAsser will be voting against.
This seems pretty alarming: coroners will be unable to investigate assisted deaths under Leadbeater’s bill (h/t @historykev)
My question is why don’t all staff in at least the Treasury (and possibly other departments as well) have automatic access to them? (Probably cheaper per head as well on an institutional subscription?)
A great historian and man. Very glad to see that he will take his rightful place.
