“Harry Veitch lookalike” wasting a decade of time on Twitter.

Twitter antidote:

Go for a walk

Find a tree

Admire its longevity, beauty and complexity

Reflect on own contribution to planet vs tree

@GonzaloTudela Hey you seem interested in AI image gen (as am I) what made you use this v specific prompt that has been used before ? Don’t want to bias your response by telling you why I’m interested, but will if you respond

@renault_uk It’s not a problem that I can’t drive the car . I’m trying to inform you that the software update hasn’t panned out as you planned. It’s just made the car less safe for pedestrians and drivers. I’d like you to inform tech support that there’s an issue they can fix it remotely

[GB Esq. @burnsiemcside]

@renault_uk hi the scenic etech software update on Friday has created a safety issue. If it was meant to fix 1 pedal driving it hasn’t. Has it defaulted to creep
Mode ? See my dm

[GB Esq. @burnsiemcside]

@renault_uk not a great first charge experience with my new Renault Scenic e-tech…☹️. The charger unlock button fell into the casing and now I won’t be able to detach the charger…🤷. Quite a fundamental problem on such a small, basic component. Can you help?

@UtdHeisenberg_ @UndrTheCosh @WayneRooney And here he is celebrating with Rooney scoring on his debut less than 2 years later, ironically ending Arsenal’s record breaking run. Sad loss & a great player on his day

@MattWGriffith @AntBreach Going to be interesting to see what AI does to those sectors…perhaps also living standards have and access to housing / labour disrupted by huge recent increase in student numbers, though as they have higher propensity to stay you would think that might feed into productivity

[Alex Seabrook❗️ @AlexGSeabrook]

Shocked to see the number of students enrolled in Bristol universities has shot up by 42 per cent 👀

Is there a link between the rapid expansion of the universities and Bristol's housing crisis?

[GB Esq. @burnsiemcside]

@AntBreach @MattWGriffith spot on. Previous productivity data showed Bristol above national average (no source sorry), may not be a high bar nationally but different story for G7. No mayor anymore, arguably remaining WECA mayor has remit for surrounding areas where employment is but no £

[GB Esq. @burnsiemcside]

@AntBreach Observation not a criticism
: Am I right in reading Bristol has a high share in KIBS but lags towards the very bottom of the city productivity graph? If other UK cities emulated Bristol’s KIBS sector why should it increase their productivity if it hasn’t worked for Bristol?

@beardedjourno Was told by a medieval history uni prof that Tailors court connected to Tower Lane but when a Guild Master was knocked off his feet by 2 drunken youths running from the direction of St John’s he conspired with the church to have the lane blocked off. Would love 👀in the guild..

@ARWURZELBS3 I immediately said to my daughter “that boy has autism” & actions of his dad made sense to me because of that. It might seem crazy to most fans, but normal rules don’t apply. Hope the club find a safe/private way for him to meet his hero @tommyconway__ and turn this into a +ve

@Shonette Noodles are 👌

[GB Esq. @burnsiemcside]

@Shonette Same, and therefore wasn’t sure if it counts, but for my pre match crew brunch definitely starts after midday 🙄

[GB Esq. @burnsiemcside]

@Shonette Yeah they said it was

Scottish League Two - final table

East Fife 4th, Forfar 5th

[Jim Pickard 🐋 @PickardJE]

stats of the day:

- investment in water industry since privatisation has fallen nearly a fifth in past 30 years from £2.9bn a year to £2.4bn

- the companies (which had no debt) borrowed £53bn...much of this has been used to help pay £72bn in dividends

Shocking. In today’s Times, Work and Pensions Dept tried to suppress their own report showing that sanctions on benefit claimants make work situation worse, and for the most vulnerable.
