@badman__r Don’t rely on dating apps, speak to more strangers instead

@analyticflying I flew BA LHR - KUL last Aug and the gate agents said since launch it’s been one of their busiest flights, consistently booked out. Assuming that’s still the case, what’s the strategy here? If traffic to KUL already high doesn’t that potentially cannibalise LHR-MEL traffic?

ive read a lot of books and essays about the attention economy and digital labour. but truly nothing makes the humiliation stick better than this tiktok skit recognising social media use as "volunteering for Big Tech"

“Black women don’t get to make light of their gaffe-making, impulsive remarks or off-colour comments. They don’t get to have bad days. Anything short of exemplary personal behaviour would result in public retribution & humiliation.” And here we are. https://t.co/IfrLrEa488

There is only one leader who has successfully nailed the “wet jacket in a time of critical national importance” look…

[Tom Gill @tomgill]

This is a great piece of journalism which is, at its heart, about the effect of internet-first socialising on young men

@jackrooke @BAFTA Outstanding outfit, I think this was also on London bus seats in the 90s? Love it

My strongest boomer-esque view is that people should be forced to learn directions without a phone. Look up and take in the world

[Soren Iverson @soren_iverson]

Google Maps encourages you to stop searching for directions to places you travel to frequently

@sianberry @ZoeGarbett London will miss you, Sian! All the best with the election campaign

“The poorest fifth of the population are now much poorer [in the UK] than most of the poorest countries in central and eastern Europe,” says @MyStephanomics. “They would be better off in quite poor countries in the European Union.”

If this type of voice over is about to be a trend, I’m OK with that

[Zack @Zack3O12]

Cannot stop thinking about this video.

@urbanthoughts11 Important missing detail: from start to finish these works took around 3 years, with most of that time spent with the road blocked and no work being done

[Tom Gill @tomgill]

@benvyle No one owes anyone any kind of response on Grindr and it strikes me that people who feel the need to actively reject others rather than just ignore them are just engaging in one-up-man ship to make themselves feel better. If you don’t have anything nice to say, say nothing

[Tom Gill @tomgill]

@itsjacksonbbz @CampbellX Agreed, I just wrote this about Grindr and was surprised when I was talking to friends how many brushed it off as just a hook up app https://t.co/DG6losdMFY

[Tom Gill @tomgill]

Grindr was launched 15 years ago today. Here’s a new one from me on its impact (good and bad) and why it remains important. Mainly just chuffed my Sex and the City opener made it in.
