NY resolution. Get more Twitter followers for the only Repairmongers in the Borders (Scotland? UK?) If you can bring it in we can take a look. The few followers that we have - can you please retweet and we’ll try to be interesting! 😊

Norton really good here on John Cleese, telling him that ‘cancel culture’ is just accountability, and JK Rowling, suggesting that the media talk directly to trans teens and their parents rather than merely amplifying the takes of a celebrity.

Ah yes here we go. Another delicious one with respect to basic GDPR compliance while all eyes, efforts and quite some billing are focused on international data flows 🙄

@SutchFun Also on the subject of social prescribing I visited this wonderful community garden last week. They are led by gardeners trained in mental health and offer friendly, informal sessions to every member of the Mitcham community 👍

That's Rollie Free, gas station manager, on this day in 1948 doing 150mph on a Vincent Black Lightning. Covered the first mile in 24 secs, wearing swimming trunks and lying flat to reduce drag. On the return run he swapped the helmet for a swimming cap and went a bit faster. FFS.

@VSimmance @dergal @ChrisSimmance @_KendaMacdonald @rtavs @AndrewBloch This discussion about brands (not conferences) and speaker fees covers very similar territory. Particularly the “it’ll be good exposure for you” line. https://t.co/Mly39mqYEd
