Note left behind by the Iranian team before leaving Seattle:
Hate to be the one to say this but the UK really needs to get used to hot weather and adapt accordingly. This is getting ridiculous. Schools closed, trains cancelled, everything delayed... it's madness. I had to explain what was happening to an American yesterday and it didn't feel good!
Just seen a B2B marketer who prides himself on 'humanising B2B' describe how he is 'humanely relevant'. Should I message him (I don't know him) with a definition of humanely?
'The UK government has lots of powers to govern the internet that it simply isn’t using. Hosting images of child abuse is a strict liability offence, one that Elon Musk’s X platform blatantly breached.' Why do we consistently let platforms shake their responsibilities?
James Ball@jamesrball.com · 2mo ago"A teenage social media ban is the digital equivalent of seeing our parks full of needles, broken glass, and violent thugs – and deciding that a “KEEP OUT IF YOU’RE UNDER 18” sign stuck on the entrance is enough." www.jamesrball.com/p/a-teen-soc...
"Something remarkable happened in April. For the first time in history, wind and solar generated more electricity than gas across the entire planet. Not in a country. Not in a region. Globally." Tons of great news here from Danny Kennedy (via @billmckibben.bsky.social's newsletter, which rules).

Can the Zara stylist tell me when is this outfit on the left ever appropriate? Why would you hang out with a friend getting coffee whilst on a call using wired headphones (?) with your trousers undone and your bikini showing. So relatable.
Meta’s new Facebook and Instagram “Plus” subscriptions are now live in the US, although there’s still no UK launch date. What’s interesting is that paying for Facebook still feels weird somehow - even though LinkedIn Premium has existed for years.
"To have arguably the most powerful man in the world sending me things about using his space technology in the election…" Men's weakness is always oversharing with their mistress. A tale as ollllld as time!
Khashoggi's Ghost@urocklive1.bsky.social · 3mo agoElon's baby mama, Ashley St. Clair, says Elon knew the election results in 2024 hours before anyone else did, and he claimed this was because his satellites were scooping up data. www.rawstory.com/elon-musk-26...

Can someone tell me what Wes Streeting stands for? I genuinely have no idea
I always tell people to be cautious about how they're using ChatGPT/Gemini/Claude etc and this recent case involving Musk and Greg Brockman validates this! They are reading through his chat history in court as evidence www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If it is over £100 I am likely to do it on a laptop... I feel seen.
JP@johnathanperk.bsky.social · 5mo agoSomebody said millennials usually use their laptops (instead of smartphones) for major purchases, including booking flights. I can’t stop thinking about this.
Which new emoji represents your mood today? I am definitely landslide
