Really smart read. I feel this from people all the time, I only read my news, I don’t watch tv news or cable (never have) as given my creative career I know how effective motion/film/sound is & how that can be dangerous, add in incentive of enragement = engagement = £ and voila.

This from @JamieJBartlett really worth reading about the context in which the American election and indeed our own politics operating - before people settle on policy areas as problematic for progressives ask how they know they are a problem 👇 https://t.co/SkJDYebOJV

Also enjoying all of the critique in the comments, and people jumping to lots of different solutions and not recognising the irony and thus proving the need to do a proper listening job.

Love to see UX best practice in action - yes, government should be talking to “users” gathering insights and then using that to shape product priorities!

Yes please!! Go upstream and stop the source, rather than make me “recycle” the plastic! This massively affects my fresh food shopping choices I will always choose loose. ‘Shop like our nan!’ Call for supermarket ban on plastic packaging for fresh goods https://t.co/o1sBNqZHEv

Sport and the creative industries are a power house of growth and opportunity in the UK, as well as bringing joy to so many. Fascinating discussion at #ukinvestment summit on what more we can do to put “rocket boosters” under these brilliant sectors in every part of our country.

For the record, my lockdown baby did go to nursery toilet trained, knowing what books are and cycling - less commenting on the full article then the OP about socialising kids in the community. Socialising parents to ideas is also critical, esp first timers.

[Jem @jemillo]

Absolutely agree! Literally thought this at the weekend when someone commented on my children because they were *speaking* in public and not zombied on a screen. Being 4 with a thought to share is not “loud” 🤣

[Jem @jemillo]

@Will_Humphrey Haha quite!

Many thanks to the @StrictScrutiny_ crew—@LeahLitman, @kateashaw1, and @ProfMMurray—for shouting out this profile in their latest episode, which is all about Elizabeth Prelogar and how she runs circles around the justices.

Ha @VictoriaCoren , @guybranum was shouting out Only Connect on this week’s @jonlovett show Lovett or Leave It. I love it when there’s a transatlantic crossover in my cultural knowledge 🙂

Interesting what the threat of potential legislation can suddenly make companies do. They’ve always been able to do this, just didn’t feel the pressure to do it before… let’s hope this is the start of more safeguards.
