@JeremyClarkson watching s5e1 of Clarksons Farm. What you need is a border collie. I might be able to help you out. She loves the outdoors. She does not like cars but that’s a noise thing. Strong herding instinct, and great sniffer dog.

What tailoring clothes 🪡🧵might tell us about AI…

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

I get this sort of comment all the time, often about bespoke suits or mechanical watches. "These things are boring," "This is only for rich people," or "Who cares?"

Let me tell you a story. 🧵

[Andy Boenau @Boenau]

Motorists break the law to save time, cyclists break the law to save their life.

Anyone who uses a bicycle for transportation understands this is true.

[Adam Reynolds @awjre]

To put this into context, since 2016, 30 people have been killed in collisions involving cyclists. In that time over 17,000 have been killed in collisions involving drivers.

I don't have a problem with the new law, but let's not think this will reduce deaths on our roads.

Analysis of the English local elections by Sir John Curtice: “support for Reform averaged 43% in wards where more than half of adults have few, if any, educational qualifications. In contrast, it polled just 19% where more than two in five have a degree.”

@trailrunnermag The bog of doom was much less challenging this year than previous years due to all the dry weather.

@adamfare1996 @stomababe Snap. When I was iron man training I was doing 15 hours of exercise a week. I still had ADHD. I was also low carb no refined carb diet - home cooked natural food. Still had ADHD

did it hurt? when you realized your entire personality was built around being “easy to be around” so nobody would leave

Women with endometriosis certainly have been failed for too long, and continue to be failed

[Rajini Vaidyanathan @BBCRajiniV]

Back after time off, as I recovered from #endometriosis surgery. It’ll help but won’t remove all the pain as no one quite knows what causes endo. Sharing to raise awareness - yesterday in parliament a minister said: “women with endometriosis have been failed for far too long”.

[DifferentlyWired @DifferentlyMike]

Yep

[Hector Minto @hminto]

Delighted to join @stephenctimms and other ambassadors for a welcome update. Partnership between govt, disabled people’s organisations and business by industry has to be the only way for us to make progress on structural inclusion. Thanks to @DWPgovuk and @cabinetofficeuk hosting

My max grid is only 32 and water to the west will impede my progress but tile hunting has reconnected me to why I ride and run - to see new places. I also love the long line exploits like Hadrian’s wall give on my map even if not connected to my square or cluster (yet)

My piece on @VeloViewer explorer tiles is now up on @bikeradar, what are you waiting for? https://t.co/VmybJeNnFn

[ADHD Jesse @adhdjesse]

ADHD feels like you’re never doing what you’re “supposed” to be doing—so no matter how productive you are, it feels like not enough.

[DifferentlyWired @DifferentlyMike]

@DeniseDT @ADHDdesigner I do something similar with assignments. Submit by email but delay send. Means I will not forget but I can edit/improve if I want to

[Adam Schwarz @AdamJSchwarz]

Starmer: "The Leader of the Opposition has been an MP for eight years... I can't recall her once raising this issue [child sexual abuse]."

Badenoch: "As a minister, I would not have been speaking on this specific issue."

Badenoch was Minister for Children and Families.
