it continues to be the most bizarre but also somewhat rewarding experience to be creating something and putting it out in the world and then have people enjoy it enough to press like it or even want more of it nowletsbeclear.substack.com

I don’t really want to drag the guy on Twitter but it is a bit like an economics correspondent saying they’d never heard of the gold standard or the IMF. You might trust their reporting… but you’d be pretty skeptical about their analysis, no?

genuinely cannot imagine having the nerve to take on a role as "cyber correspondent" for the bbc and *not know what PHP is* but somehow i am not at all surprised

'Cyber correspondent Joe Tidy says he didn't know PHP existed until yesterday morning - it's "one of these things we take for granted", he says.' Really inspires confidence in the quality of reporting - and here I was thinking I'm a luddite classicist.

Replying to @PolitlcsUK
Audio reminders of the rules in place on the rail network will also be heard across the railway If a passenger refuses to stop when asked by authorised rail staff, they can be removed from the train at the next station or face fines of up to £1,000 Burnham says: "We’ve all been on the train when someone starts blasting music or videos from their phone. It gets on your nerves and can quickly spoil the journey. So, we’re launching a nationwide campaign reminding passengers to use headphones on trains"
