Great session from @MollyWattTalks for our internal On Top of the World webinar. We all take so much for granted and it’s our responsibility to use technology to make the world a better place and more inclusive for everyone. @nexergroup @Nexer_Digital #a11y

Excellent visual storytelling from @washingtonpost tracking social media output to map the complex realities of civil unrest in Minneapolis and challenge Trump's trumpeting of violent hoards and criminal antifa. (thanks to @SidebarIO)

@tlakomy Because backend is such a different space. You are in control. You tell the computer to do something, and it does it. Frontend is a constant battle. It's like raising a teenager who is always talking back and doing whatever they wanna do.

When Mum was transferred from a Herts hospital to a carehome in March, you were flippantly shaking hands. I saw the risk, healthcare professionals knew the risk, the carehome made sane decisions before your tune changed (@bandmcare Tremona ♥). Whose procedures @BorisJohnson?

Peak 2020 content. Imagine pitching this to a TV exec in the 90s: “So it’s an Irish lad with a bag on his head, improvising disco music in a virtual environment set in the Wild West and you watch it on your telephone”. It’s a dystopia for sure, but there are upsides.
