New: Many of London's post-war housing estates are damp, cramped, and cold. But, it's possible to fix that and cut London's housing shortage. Here's how an estate renewal revolution can build half a million homes and cut London’s emissions samdumitriu.com/p/renew-london…
Great to see @natalieben sharing this clip of herself talking about how the Postcode Address File’s extortionate licensing fees stops innovative start-ups and small businesses from competing with the likes of Amazon. youtube.com/shorts/Wgw-OOp…
Happy Birthday to Hashtag, who as you can tell from this video has a very hard life.
Just logged into Twitter for the first time in months. I’ve been away writing an exhaustive biography of Hamza Yousaf, who I characterise as a generational political force who will lead Scotland to independence. Anyway, now to take a big gulp of Irn-Bru and check the news.
I don't really pay attention to or know anything much about Scottish politics, but as an English person I feel like from skimming the headlines I've got the gist. So here's what I think. 🧵 (1/335)
I guess one of my regular gigs just came to an end! (I was their regular technology columnist.) So, er, now is a great time to take out a paid subscription to my Substack: takes.jamesomalley.co.uk/subscribe

He is saying this in *Saudi Arabia* during the worst moment for his people in 75 years. Now of course the usual suspects will pooh-pooh this, but a real Israeli leader—not the corrupt and divisive coward we have now—would jump on this and explore every possible opportunity.

@charlesarthur @Psythor Me neither. "Apple initially had a sales target of 3 million Vision Pro units in its first year" No source for this sort of nonsense claim.
@Psythor Ltnt Barklay would also wish Hashtag a happy birthday, but he also has a hard life (too many Transporters and not enough Holodecks)
@Psythor Didn’t know you got a job at The National?
@Psythor I ate a scotch egg as a substantial meal during the pandemic - please commission me for 600 words on the Scottish government.
@Psythor Parony & Eyes send their happy birthday wishes
@Psythor Yeah, I agree that he'd be saying this no matter what at this point. Which is a shame, because it means that if he ends up being right, it will only be by accident.
@Psythor Reminds me of my usual retort when a government minister says "nothing has been ruled out" when dealing with a problem -- which I note means they have left open the option for nuking Wolverhampton.
Fucking hell. It took Keir Starmer at least a year to have Owen crying betrayal. Took Humza two weeks.

@Psythor Social media e-celebs have been deliberately manufacturing youthful authenticity for years now. But it’s pretty recent that people with serious jobs are emulating it. See zuck holding that tiny mic with a cheap shot-in-shot, like how a teenager making a tiktok would.
@Psythor On multiple occasions the newsroom made me want to swallow my own fist but I also unironically love it. This one is even *closer* to my home turf though.
@Psythor I read it in a Stewart Lee voice and yep, definitely works.
@MariosRichards @Psythor Your comment makes sense in the context of your focus, but not (or at least not much) in the context of mine. I am in favour of removing Elon Musk from as many arguments as practically possible. The observation is as true if he doesn't exist as in this reality where he does
