My first @figma plugin has gone live! It's a little side-project I've been working on for anyone using @voiceflow AI chatbots as part of their product design, taking existing transcripts and turning them into Figma designs.

The BSL version of Aitch at #Glastonbury is the best thing ever. Loving the enthusiasm!

Exactly how is @SuellaBraverman allowed to return to her position less than a week after admitting she broke the ministerial code?

So is there a reason why with all these spiralling energy costs the solar export tariff from most home energy suppliers is still under 7p / kWh? cc/ @BulbUK
OK. I sort of understand the reasoning behind moving #cbbc to online only. But BBC4 is the epitome of linear television made for fascinating docs you wouldn’t see otherwise. Seems especially crazy when the vapid BBC3 has been resurrected I recent times…

Refusing to believe anything you're told, doesn't make you cleverer than the rest of us. Recognising the times when you are actually being told the truth is a crucial skill.

Have the BBC run out of TV programs? They seem to be running an obit on @HackedOffHugh that hasn't had the narration track recorded... and he's not dead.
Does anyone know of a #Figma component library for the @GDSTeam design system? There's talk of using figma in blog posts - but nothing publicly available it seems...

"and look at the wretched summer we've been having... things cancelled one after another.. and now they're saying that Wimbledon might have to be washed out altogether..." Listening to "The Kraken Wakes" on @audibleuk and it's weirdly prescient...

@googlemaps can we stop with the red-yellow-blue-green geometric shape on a white background icons? I can’t tell any of my apps apart now. Were the UX team left out of this meeting?

Last night's #factcheckUK nonsense was some next level political shitposting. Its aim? To erode people’s confidence to judge what is true and what is not and reduce this election to a single issue: get Brexit done wired.co.uk/article/factchec…
