I genuinely thought the world would be a more pleasant place after Covid given what we all went through. Couldn't have been more wrong. Everyone's lost their fuckin minds.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

I've been asked what my favourite commentary is on the budget and it's unquestionably this exchange.

Well - the entire crew of season two of #AdamRichmanEatsBritain has just been robbed. We were driving from Birmingham to London, stopped at a rest, stop in Barnet for exactly 4 1/2 minutes to use the restroom, and came back to our van completely cleaned out.
All of the filming equipment is gone.
Both of my suitcases with all of my possessions are gone.
Backpack with my laptop and all of my medications are gone .
And to make matters worse, because I have trackers on some of my possessions, and because of my laptop, I can see where these things are. But we have to wait here for the police. The rest stop won’t release the security footage until the police arrive.
It’s been almost an hour.
I’m going to share a few of the locations where I can see my possessions.
Reward for anything found.

AI doesn't have enough authentic disability data, and what there is, is often mislabeled.
Proud to announce new chapter in our partnership with @BeMyEyes, to train AI to be more inclusive for blind and low vision communities.

There’s no better time than an autumn Saturday morning. It is peak existence.

Journalists falling over themselves to interview Boris Johnson should understand that most of us don’t want to see his face nor hear his voice ever again. But if you want to put him in one of those Red Bull soapbox cars and chuck him down the steepest cobblestoned fucking hill in the uk we’ll be there with a folding chair and a flask of tea.
Vicky Ryder (she/her) retweeted
I hope nobody heard me as I was running up that hill this morning saying out loud "wait for me, wait for me" to the sky. 😂I don't care anyway because it did indeed wait for me. Glastonbury Tor about 15 minutes before sunrise.

25 years ago since the first “walk and talk” scene in The West Wing.
It’s still mesmerising to watch all these years later

Did everyone check out the new announcements from @microsoft today. Some of my fave things that I’m going to start using THIS WEEK for my conf planning are:
🎨Copilot is the UI for AI = you look up stuff on web using Copilot
👯Copilot Pages = you paste this into a Copilot page and you can now share with your work colleagues. It’s taking web + work into one place as your productivity canvass
💪🏽Your colleague pulls some data from a customer engagement and adds to the collaborative Page
👩🏽🏫 Copilot in PowerPoint with Narrative Builder. This Agentic capabilities in PPT people! You dictate a request in natural language, Copilot makes a plan that you have a chance to edit, then it generates a full PPT with your selected brand guidelines and photos. (Does this remind you of GitHub Copilot workspaces?!)
💌 Copilot in Outlook - Prioritized inbox! So you see stuff from your boss & teammates first and also your major customers.
🤖Copilot Agents - you can now build Agents to do your common job things like answering common customer questions right from BizChat (Microsoft Copilot for work). This is powered by the familiar UX of Copilot Studio where you customize what knowledge the agent has and what action it can take.
You can pull this agent into Teams or D365!
I thought these were the most interesting things. What was your fave?? 👇🏼

It breaks my heart not to be able to be with my West Wing family at the Emmys tonight or at the White House later this week to celebrate our 25th birthday, but I’m in Budapest on another White House set pretending to work for another administration. (I know. I need to work on my

It's a shame the "what first attracted you to the millionaire Paul Daniels?" line gets all the hype when the introduction to Debbie McGee's interview is just as funny. Ah Caroline Aherne, you'll never not be missed.

Very nice to see this doing the rounds again. When I was a little kid I used to go to Manchester and come back with the accent. Harry and Paul thought this was very funny so wrote the sketch. The timing was perfect. 😎
