Article reads: Woman named as Archbishop of Canterbury in historic first The 63-year-old archbishop-designate is married to Eamonn Mullally, with whom she has two children. Originally from Woking in Surrey, she was the UK's chief nursing officer from 1999 to 2004.

This article manages to name her husband before it names… her.

It's also possible to have more than 1 NI number...

It was another great episode. Was re-listening to the last one with The Simpsons the other day - it's one of my favourites

It's both amazing and unsurprising that treating people well at work, paying them fairly, giving them security all translates to productivity and successful projects. And yet the emphasis on productivity driven profits continues and continually results in failure

I'm a low user and it doesn't matter what fix I sign up to, paying £250.35 a year in standing charges is about a third of my bill - about which I can do nothing :(

Life’s getting a bit more crap here if you are a person from an ethnic minority 🧵

12 equity and justice questions about AI These questions help teams think through and talk about the consequences of using AI. This will help mitigate possible harms, consider hidden effects and check in against organisational values.

Friends, using gen AI to create user personas is a *really* awful idea.

This suggestion comes from the AI Knowledge Hub prompt library on GOV .uk. Here's the problem:

AI is designed to give you back only what you already know. It will generate what it thinks you want to hear.

So it turns out parts of DWP still tell people to go to the Directgov website in their letters

this site wants me to share credit card details with it, yet it won't save my setting that I don't want auto-play on videos...

Even if it's anonymous, they must have an option to not provide it

You're absolutely right tho - in the midst of completing a form for employment, who wants to jeopardise their application and argue about incorrect fields in forms? 😒

WOW. Is there an option to say 'Prefer not to say'? Because I thought compelling people to reveal protected characteristics wasn't allowed in the UK?

So if I've understood correctly, more people have lost their jobs after attending a Coldplay concert, than Post Office senior managers who have lost their jobs as a result of their involvement in the Horizon IT scandal (0)

Sometimes I go to unlock my front door with my Oyster card...

I've asked people to consider their device volume on public transport several times - and in some cases received a genuine 'sorry'. There's a lot to be said for how you ask and not embarrassing the person

😂

And it's so inaccessible. It doesn't even support left-hand mouse users so I now refuse to use it

Something that gets (understandably) overlooked about the 7/7 London attacks is the digital aspect.

The immediate aftermath was the first real resilience test for TfL and the Met Police's websites, as people flocked there for updates.

TfL site went from 100k uniques to 2.5 MILLION in minutes. /1

The loud drumbeat that companies should "embrace AI now or be left behind" has more in common with high-pressure sales techniques than biz strategy. And that's fine - tech firms have something to sell. But the rest of us needn’t confuse it with anything more profound. www.ft.com/content/4688...

Just a reminder that while her ex nonstop soils himself in public with tasteless displays of wealth and look-at-me, thirsty nonsense, Mackenzie Scott has given away close to $20 billion to 1,600 charities, no strings attached and without any need for recognition.

me too!

yes! I noticed that too with the outdoor plants

Hmm - so not just in London
Second time this week my little greenhouse has toppled over: plants lost, pots smashed, much mess

Anyone know why London has had such ferocious winds for the last week?

Some 100 private jets will fly to Venice for Jeff Bezos' wedding, and I recycle yoghurt cup lids.

And also their referring to annual savings is misleading - because tarrifs change every 3 months!

That was fun! Although I think there are some bugs with the same name appearing both red and black in places (so don't kick too hard)

every now and again I remember that thirty years ago britain and france built the longest underwater tunnel in the world, still not beaten, and the thing that limits how many people we can shove through it is the tiny cellar underneath the train station that we use for security theatre

People who executive managed a company into a debt-ridden ground, now being paid *extra* to continue the same crappy behaviour...
