Murmuration! @sarahtgold.bsky.social
ooh thanks Stru. Bass and Bateson, love it @ianbetteridge.com
Most pieces should be 3, or 2, or 1 thing only? www.holdfastprojects.com/3-2-1 (and not 6 things like that illustration)
Guderian bosses Evri's hardest route, Patton remains loyal to Amazon
closed 689 browser tabs, is that bad

Is your system accountable to Newton, Darwin or Octavia Butler? www.holdfastprojects.com/accountable-...
i see what you did there 🤣
and Giles has some ideas on building institutional confidence in working-in-open here gilest.org/notes/open-t...
Great list of working in the open examples by @gilestur.bsky.social . Challenge for product and comms teams: in an quanty era of metrics, how do we *prove* the value to orgs of working in the open?
Todo: update the emissions numbers for 2025. As a customer though, the switch went well and happy with Starling.
bottomly potts
Recommended: Estimating digital carbon emissions workshop www.holdfastprojects.com/greenweb - by @mrchrisadams.bsky.social and Katrin Fritsch of Green Web Foundation - helpful on measuring emissions of digital services, and energising!
Animals! Thoughtful discussion! This will be good
the AIs don't know what their carbon emissions are www.holdfastprojects.com/chat-carbon-... , so does the first AI co to publish its emissions get a reputational boost?
If you're a UK-based technologist who's had enough of extractive platform capitalism and wants to act in solidarity to build something better, please fill in this survey and share with others www.careful.industries/blog/2025-4-...
find yourself a confident team like this and let it rip (I still chuckle too!)
oh interesting thanks Matthew, I'll take a look
You can put a carbon.txt file on your website so your org's sustainability disclosures are discoverable, says carbontxt.org. Er I think mine works www.holdfastprojects.com/carbon-text
This work from FF studio 👏
Any org who provides grants/gives away money, take a look Applicable EVERYWHERE

Big up Debs Durojaiye @abscond.org who worked on it

we've written up some work exploring what grants might look like if power between grantseeker:grantmaker got slightly reshuffled, and if the technology UK gov used to give out £46bn of grants was an enabler rather than a constraint. grab a brew, enjoy

last working day to top up ISAs and SIPPs this tax year, and several bonuses available for top ups and transfers
Enforcing standards, better coordination and some market shaping can break vendor lock-in and improve local gov case management (social care, fostering etc) - a hard problem but necessary
Change is hard. But possible.
Last year a tv producer said to me that everyone's motto was "Stay alive til '25", in the hope that things improved this year. So anecdotally a clear slowdown in tv prodn? [Caveat: i don't work in tv, probably don't know what i'm talking about]
my guess, yes, plus: production slowed during covid and releases of new content slowed even more, so there was a backlog of unreleased content at the same time as interest rates made financing harder = less production happening
closeup on Harrison Ford in The Fugitive, standing on a sidewalk, the city behind him is out of focus. he's wearing an outfit that's giving Redford in Three Days of the Condor - tweed jacket with popped collar, a chambray shirt, and a black skinny knit tie (with tiny red stripes that are impossible to make out here)
decided to share my essay on The Fugitive since St. Patrick's Day aka Dr. Richard Kimble Day is nigh www.patreon.com/posts/fugiti...
Haha excellent (born in fareham)
thanks Alison!
