I will die on the hill that RTO hurts families with young children the most — and mothers above all when mom is still the default caregiver. Don’t make people choose between their kids and their careers.

Can we please go back to numbered versions for tech? I don't want to have to remember if Dolphin Lake came after Yosemite Falls or Jade Mountain. Just give me numbers that go up please.

The rot starts at the top. If there is one thing I have learned running a company, it's that you don't get to blame the people who are doing their jobs. Their job is their job. The system is your job. If the system is turning out shitty fruit, that's on you.

Come and see the incredibly talented @fhvln play the sublime Korngold Violin Concerto with us this evening at St Martin's. Tickets here: ticketsource.co.uk/booking/t… We're also playing @JeanJCSibelius Symphony #1 - which might be the best first symphony ever written!

Feels like they’ve got to the bit in Jenga when you have no idea how it’s still staying up and whichever piece you choose will make it collapse so you just say ‘ah fuck it’ and kick the whole thing across the room.

On these grounds alone I urge you to buy this book.

This comes out in paperback on Thursday. It contains no false claims about Jay Rayner (or, as far as I’m aware, about anyone or anything else) but it got published anyway.

It’s crazy to me people still don’t do grocery delivery in 2024. It’s like $5. Minimum wage is a higher dollar per hour.

Just walked out of @gbkburgers as they refused to not put mayo on a burger for my egg intolerant child. I don't feel that refusing to serve people is "catering for allergies"

At some top universities your entire degree grade is largely determined by one week of final exams. All that work. And it comes down to your performance across one single week. Find me a system more obviously designed without women in mind 🩸 thetimes.co.uk/article/femal…

Female students ‘far less likely to get top degrees’

Women make up less than a fifth of students in engineering, technology and computing degrees and are far less likely to get first-class degrees than their male

We'd love to make progress with this project to publish the music of Elizabeth Poston, but we're having difficulty raising funds: Poston was not able to leave a trust, grants or other financial settlement to enable the publication of her music, so we need to find 'new money' to help bring this about. Might your church/university/cathedral/grant-giving charity be able to help please? (CAF Donate button at the end of this wonderful article by @MadsDavies @ChurchTimes) churchtimes.co.uk/articles/2…

Replying to @SlackHQ
@SlackHQ how to I exit this screen? I've pressed "escape" more times than I care to mention and it just won't go away.

@SlackHQ I have also tried the well known and established "CTRL+/" which you've pointed out, and that also doesn't work

I’ve just been told an extremely harrowing and distressing story. I hesitate to share it because it’s very upsetting, but it’s important that these stories reach as many people as possible, so we can stop them happening again. Apparently the cat hasn’t been fed, like, ever.
