No thanks to the #cannyGNEdriver no. 30 17.18 to Slatyford, who left the Grainger St stop early, while I was running to catch it. Check mirrors, check time?
@duolingo I have been a subscriber for years with a long streak in Portuguese. I enjoyed innovations like the stories with actors’ voices bringing it to life. The new AI-generated ones are awful. The characters sound the same in a flat tone and nothing like the original voices.
I also find the correction of errors no longer seems to happen and it feels like technical effects are favoured more than language learning.
@LNER last night I was searching for return tickets from Newcastle to Brighton for this Friday. Typically the prices for this journey vary between £86 and up to £150 if you leave it to the day or the day before. Now the cheapest prices are all £200.
Less than #cannyGNEdriver on the 10a who just drove on while I was running and signalling to stop on Team Street, only to have to stop at temporary traffic lights up the street for several minutes anyway.
Today a very kind and #cannyGNEdriver on the 47 who saw me running and stopped at Teams street to wait for me. Well done that man 👍🏻

What you also won't learn from @thetimes today is details of how the new tax regime will work, who will be affected and what they can do to mitigate it. I just scoured the print and online editions for some neutral, factual reporting and analysis. Nada.
Scenes from @ComicArtFest with @TerryMooreArt @panelborders and that cat that @xaimeh said didn’t know who he was a few years back. @ace_national
Today I took two packages to the @RoyalMail to send to the USA. They said they don’t do postage any more and to go to a @PostOffice. Went to the Post Office and they said they haven’t got space so can’t take them.
The utter state of our public services…
Among the far right thuggery, vandalism today on @TeessideUni, which educates students and helps them get better careers, supports businesses and communities in #Middlesbrough. Why attack that which is elevating the region?
What a relief to hear a government recognising international students as a positive, rather than an existential threat.

Waiting to see if there's a frontbench role for Newcastle MP @ChiOnwurah, who shadowed science/innovation for the better part of 14 years.

5 days to go. Remember when senior Conservatives showed they don't understand anything about trade
