NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got. My column: enterprise-sharing.ft.com/re… And some utterly damning charts. 1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

After tumultuous week, worth reflecting: In the 37 years from 1979 to 2016 there were just 5 prime ministers. In the 6 years since 2016 we’ve also had 5 PMs Something pretty destabilising must have happened that year

Something about doing things because they are technically possible / challenging ….
Farmer: 'This is a Christmas tree cannon.' 🎄 Journalist: 'And the purpose behind it is...?' Farmer: 'I'm asking that (question) myself.' 😂 I think we can all learn something from this! Thanks @thterweiden for sharing (and translating) 🇩🇪 More detail at youtube.com/watch?v=Y5kwnis6…

Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas. I am approaching this with anthropological precision. Here are a few observations.

It speaks volumes for Apple that I spent time at the weekend setting up a 12 year old iMac with and for my 12 year old - and Apple support were happy and able to help. Nailed it on both product quality and service!

Genuinely stunned by leaflets pushed through the door overnight. Not sure whether to laugh at the outrageous claims or be terrified that some people might believe it!

Couple arguing next to me while waiting for a train. She just said very loudly “do you even like small talk” ... terrified that my first reaction was to wonder why she was bringing OO languages into it

4 long haul flights with @EtihadAirways every time family scattered, staff unhelpful / disinterested. Saved by lovely fellow passengers who swapped seats to avoid kids sitting on their own. Is this appalling IT or a deliberate ploy to force you to pay extra?

Enjoying the best waiting room / coffee shop on the rail network... Leamington Spa for the aficionado. Don’t worry this isn’t the start of a series of photos of random work locations!

Train to work delayed as someone missed his stop and pulled the emergency cord so the train could go back and drop him off. Words fail me.

Sitting on a train next to a man who has his password taped on a bright yellow post it to his laptop. As he doesn’t have a screen protector I can also see his name and who he works for as an IT project manager ☹️ Oh and he is picking his nose ....
