Celtic, Chiefs, football history, terrible illustrations and photoshops. There will be dog pictures. 🏴
A huge corporate-level fail to understand your userbase on exhibition here. People who happily part with hundreds of pounds for access to trawl grainy, sometimes illegible, monotone facsimiles probably aren't *that* interested in a smoother looking new typeface or a more contemporary menu layout 👎🏼
British Newspaper Archive's fanfared "upgrade" is the worst UI update I've seen in a decade. Simple search functions have been hidden behind a maze of bewildering, verbose drop-downs. Muscle memory and workflow patterns broken for 1000s of researchers. Guarantee no users were asked during dev.
Andy Arthur💃🏰⚓🦌 Threadinburgh 🧵@threadinburgh.scot · last wk.There's been a user interface update on the British Newspaper Archive.

Scottish football media is going to lose its effing mind this week after that call. Good. Inject it into my veins.
Wes Streeting knows that no-one likes him, right? Surely he knows?
My idiot neighbours voted in a Reform councillor.

A bowl of water and some wee treats?? For FIFTY QUID a night, I want a member of staff to read my dog a fucking bedtime story.
Worn-down bit on left is from a 7-MONTH old Hoover vacuum. Right is a used replacement I had to buy elsewhere. Hoover says this is normal wear and tear for 7 months and NOT covered by their guarantee. I say they use shit components in their shit vacuum cleaners and you should all avoid Hoover.
Happy "Dog Utterly Obsessed with Sunlight Reflections on the Ceiling" season, to all who celebrate.
Oh fucking marvelous, Severn Trent have jacked up their prices by ANOTHER 10%. Their shareholders must be really needing the extra cash this year.
I can't imagine the sheer hell of having curated life tasks that are so overwhelming I need to run a private AI assistant to handle it all for me.
Full disclosure, I adore Buster Keaton. With that in mind, if you're looking for something different to do this evening, may I recommend this? www.cinemalive.com/movie/sherlo...
