As Rishi says, 30mph is a good British speed in that it embodies the good old fashioned British sense of fair play and healthy competition. Maybe the car will come out on top or maybe the cycling child will. At 20mph the child will usually live, which seems unfair on the car. 🇬🇧
Rishi Sunak tells me that Wales’ 20mph policy does not reflect “the right values of the British people.”

Stayed in an @Airbnb with my wife, missed the part where host wanted the beds stripped (1. Wat? 2. Not on the “house rules”, hidden in an email). We received a bad review and a charge for an additional €15 euros cleaning fee. Absurd. Better off in a hotel.

All this noise in my feed about "Chat GPT is going to make software developers redundant in 12 months!" - I can't even get it to refactor a slightly messy ruby class (plain old ruby object) correctly. Junior dev level stuff. And I say that as a big fan of copilot.

I enjoyed episode 5 of the latest Drive to Survive, I think primarily because there was so little of Christian Horner in it. #DriveToSurvive

Savage. Bet Boris wishes he wasn't a lawyer now.
"Of course he won't [resign] because he is a man without shame, and just as he's done throughout his life, he's damaged everyone and everything around him" Labour leader Keir Starmer says PM Boris Johnson has "eroded our democracy and the rule of law" bbc.in/3IQlCZt
A society of people who willingly wore their masks during the pandemic would be a kind of utopia. Why? Because they're people who make a personal choice to inconvenience themselves slightly for the perceived/potential benefit of others.

Just spent an hour buying travel insurance to go to Europe. Thanks Brexit, what a fucking waste of time.
Swam a paltry 500m in the sea and it was both glorious and totally exhausting.

Labour should have supported PR when they had the chance.

I haven't been up this late socialising with friends for more than a year! It's so great. Fully expect to remember tomorrow why I usually regret staying up so late socialising with friends.
