Oh this is so bad.
1/2 Distressing experience @Tesco just now. 10.50pm near Chancery Lane tube after a work event I receive a text to get a sandwich for my son’s packed lunch tomorrow. I see a store, think I’m in luck, but I can only *enter* the store if I download the app & sign up to club card.
Really enjoyed hearing Christine speak yesterday at @theinformation WTF summit. I loved how she thinks about the digital properties of the metaverse as countries, with coming innovation focussed on moving money across these country borders and even travel across borders

This seems like the perfect match!
And… we’re closed! @Metromile is now a @Lemonade_Inc company! In return for $145m in $LMND stock, we got over $155m in cash + $110m in car premiums + 49 state licensed insurance entity + data from 500 million car trips!
Timeline cleanser
Ever wondered how Koala's are weighed? 😅🥰

Design your service for when things go wrong!
Our HP printer hasn’t been working for a month and every manner of troubleshooting, resets, changing ink cartridges, didn’t seem to work. After calling HP, they said the debit card on file had expired so they manually disabled our printer. In unrelated news, I’m now radicalized

As a new parent this is almost debilitatingly depressing.
A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened
I'm not sure about this. For years the advertising in print was a feature. I do agree that it is painful when what you've paid for as an ad free service, changes business model mid service and all of sudden your service is interrupted with ads
If I pay, I don’t want to see ads. On no service. In no product.

I don't understand why companies are still doing this. It is a very poor decision on multiple levels.

It's here–the deepest, sharpest infrared view of the universe to date: Webb's First Deep Field. Previewed by @POTUS on July 11, it shows galaxies once invisible to us. The full set of @NASAWebb's first full-color images & data will be revealed July 12: nasa.gov/webbfirstimages
So excited about this
As you may have heard The James Webb Space Telescope will be releasing "data from its first five targets" on Tuesday. I'm no astronomer but here's what I've gathered about what that means, and what we'll see.

AR that is useful right now.
The transition from maps to AR when you hold the phone up is still one of the best interactions we’ve built 😍

Another American behavior that seems strange to this Australian. Why don't people have electric kettles in their houses?
