Super post by @pollymackenzie.bsky.social.
Reflecting on the piece I wonder whether a) we can go further/flip it & suggest that in 'good' or 'boom' times we forget those reciprocal & relational things that bind us together; & b) perhaps 'pliability' might be better description than 'resilience'?

Was trying to remember every host. Mike Carlson as the main pundit with classic one-liners. Martin Bayfield, Mark Webster, Colin Murray as hosts.
Side note: if you were into American sports in the 90s Channel 5 was *outstanding*. Sunday Night and Monday Night Football; baseball on a Sunday; NHL weekly; NBA weekly.
Taping the games on long play VHS to make sure it didn't cut out before the end!
Seeing baseball on Discovery+ has transported me to the halcyon days of Channel 5 with @joshchetwynd.bsky.social and Jonny Gould.
Fun fact: I once won one of Josh's baseball ties in a 0300 email quiz in a regular season game 🤣

Interesting report from last week by @anthropic.com exploring AI by sectors - theoretical capability and observed usage.
"Using survey data from the US, we find no impact on unemployment rates for workers in the most exposed occupations."

Domestic economics vs geopolitics. Got to feel for any chancellor that sets out hard-nosed domestic policy and budgets to maintain calm in the markets only for it to be blown out of the water by global shocks. Timing and duration is now vital - how long before everyone bolts?
"Goldman Sachs, one of the most influential banks in commodity markets, said late on Friday that crude and refined products such as gasoline and diesel could hit all-time highs 'if Strait of Hormuz flows were to remain depressed throughout March'"
Pure joy. He'll rightly be dining out on that for a while.
An absolute scandal.
Show-and-go, mini-handoff, accelerate. Rampaging bull!
He'll lose a yard of pace and be told to head back to 15.
Time for Rhys Carré at 11? #hybridplayers #6nations
The next CEO of the British Library will need to have an important blend of human, comms, and strategic skills. Quite the role!

“I need a bold harmonic shift here, when we learn the man drived the rainbow car.”
Very pleased to see this little profile of Stephen Spencer. His IG brings joy 🙏🏻
Keeping this long thread going!
"We want to hear from you: the creators, the doers, the dreamers, the community champions, the everyday Buxton believers."
It's Charlie's manor 🤣
🤣
Peaceful forest walks are good for the soul ❤️
Separate to the prison sentence, I'm always shocked when someone can categorically demonstrate they cannot be trusted to control 1,500kg of metal and *not* be banned for an extremely long time.
Only hitting one of these today.
Yesterday evening I spoke to an Indian investment delegation as part of their three-day UK visit exploring real estate opportunities.
There was a brilliant positive buzz in the room as we talked all things economic performance, structural reforms, and investment opportunities.
Great view too!
"Build to rent is no longer a secondary option and in many places it is becoming a core delivery route, providing stability when sales markets are constrained. More broadly, tenure flexibility and realistic assumptions about risk are essential if regeneration is to remain investable."
So good you have to get out twice! Sunny hills and a blustery wind to blow away cobwebs. 10/10 would recommend.
Glorious sunny Sunday 😍
