“He’s gone where? Oh my god, to Morrisons! To do a f*cking photoshoot sniffing a loaf of f*cking bread! You know they’ll keep moving him until they get a photo of the twat in front of a sign reading ‘moron’?

@Tarka_Man Ardrossan harbour? Before electrification.

Hello new followers, here is my hot Finland tip

When Finnish people say: “I don’t speak English very well”

They mean: “I won’t be able to peer-review your paper on biomolecular synthesis rn but I promise to improve my understanding of molecular biology by the next time we meet”

@HSL_HRT why are #helsinki not represented at #tramem . #stockholm are and they have only one line

[=) @aleatoricbluej]

I mean, they've even got tram bowling. What's not to love #tramem

[electronic Max @emax]

the fact that @apple still doesn't understand that people get _injured_ or need rest days is really deeply un-user-centric

- speaking from an injured runner's perspective, who has just been shamed about not closing my rings

At this time on a Saturday, Ashton Lane will be buzzing with people making merry at its many bars and restaurants. But back in 1933 it was lined with Victorian stables, mews buildings and small workshops. That's Jinty McGuinty's on the left.

@martinhalvey @StrathCIS Congrats.

[Past Glasgow @PastGlasgow]

Shop front maintenance on Byres Rd at Ashton Lane, back in 1933. Once packed with workshops and stables, it's now a social hub full of bars, shops, and restaurants.

Satamatunnelin suuaukko ja betonirakenteet uhkaavat tuhota merkittävän osan Lapinlahden puiston eteläreunan luonto- ja virkistysarvoja! Varmistetaan yhdessä, ettei lähiluonnollemme ja kulttuuriperinnöllemme aiheuteta kohtuutonta ja peruuttamatonta vahinkoa !

When you tell people you studied at Glasgow Uni … the building people think you spent your time in versus the one you did 😬😂

As I’ve said for years Finnglish is both a more magical and brutally honest form of English than English ever could.

[Kaupunkiympäristö @HelsinkiKymp]

More literal English translations of Finnish words:

pavement = foot corridor
zebra crossing = protection road
block of flats = layer house
bus = line car
park = collection of trees

A powerful and valuable reminder to us all 🙏 @Sonia_Sparkles In #humanfactors we seek to reveal ‘work as done’ over ‘work as imagined’ but can tend to focus more on those delivering than receiving care support. There is much hidden work for people navigating complex care systems

Who else copy/pastes text into Notepad and then copy/pastes the same text back into their original app just to remove formatting?

[Today Years Old @todayyearsold]

Just found out about donkey nannies, which are donkeys used to carry newborn lambs down the mountains for seasonal grazing.

The vicar marvelled at such impressive growth #flowersonfriday

Looking forward to getting some Santa Color 100 from @camerarescue indigogo .Yup, what could be better for shooting Finland in (checks notes) November :/ But seriously new Color film! #filmphotography

[David McGookin @numptygeek]

First experience of these new film damaging scanners at @HelsinkiAirport . Asked nicely and was given a hand check so no damaged film. Top tip: loose the boxes for 35mm, they had to open and inspect each one.

The opposite of user research is guessing.

Ironically, many organizations base their most important decisions (what to build, how it should work) on almost no user research (who are the users, what would improve their life?). Complete guesses.

Don’t guess.
Do the research.

@moragperkins @Stig_Ofthedump Astrum . I had like 10 rolls and shot them all. Would bulk buy if i could figure out which one https://t.co/FyJAMHI47S
