Human context engineering: how you get out of a funk by changing the story that's front and centre in your context window. Gaining new insight into my "Who You Are in the present is Entirely Determined by What You Are Present To" mantra thanks to how gen ai works.


government of my people, by my people, for my people


16 clicks (plus standard 3D secure auth stuff) to pay from a @NewhamCouncil email asking for £££ . Half were a menu icon to get a menu and then click “View payment details” (first time you see that you owe money) or “Complete payment”. I feel sorry for them, so much tech debt


I have some wonderful and super interesting friends 🧡

This month's "Imagine an apple" is about everyday imagination! We interview Ronja about her imagination - from gremlin's on people's shoulders, through remembering sounds and visualising time. It's a fun discussion to set you thinking about your own + your friend's imaginations

Who wouldn't want to work at Coney!

Come and play with us 🔥



American friends who missed this, please read edition.cnn.com/2024/04/10/opi… and think regret minimisation. Which world is more worrying? Russia takes Uraine, with notes taken by China + nations now considering aquiring nukes? Or Russia can't take Ukraine because the US donated weapons?


In london and free this evening? Free ticket going to this Passenger (and others) charity gig: unionchapel.org.uk/whats-on/never…


Two of the nicest smartest women in my circle have set up a small co-working space a stone's throw from Greenwich Station and are looking for a few like minded (climate action, culture, future thinking, art, culture, innovation etc. ) to join them. DM me if interested....


Listening to Any Questions... pointless discussing how to run water services based on gross misunderstanding. 1. Investment is capped low by the regularor because yesteryear's complaints were about water bills. 2. The state doesn't take on the debt if taking over a failed utility


Trump indictment... Mind blown. Likely defence: every electoral official, every judge, and most of my lawyers & appointees said I lost but I lack mental capacity to see that (daddy issues). I WON. No intent, no crime. May even be true. If only we disbarred such insane candidates.


email: login to read Self Assessment (SA) message -> login -> click SA -> click Messages icon -> Click message title -> click "Check if your statement is ready" -> click on latest statement, get confused, oh it's 2022. Go back a step. Oh. Message was to check in 4+ days. WTF.


Surely there's an AI powered chrome plugin that will handle all these really annoying prove you're a human form blockers.


US ESTA time... I can't be the only one who has wondered what conversations have been had, or attempted, within DHS about the fact that their official position is that this is a 4 *digit* code: H82N


Cory nails it again, with a fun story that also leaves you with new deeper understanding of what the tech world is bringing to us all in the near future.

*Red Team Blues* is my next novel, a #PostCyberpunk anti-finance finance #thriller; it's a major title for my publishers @TorBooks and @HoZ_Books, and it's swept the trade press with starred reviews all 'round. Despite all that, #Audible will not sell the #audiobook. 1/

Is anyone else watching the (heart warming) lying in state feed and thinking the queue would move at least twice as fast if there were discrete markers on the ground suggesting there's more than one place on each side to stop and bow/take a moment. One for @B_I_Tweets I guess


Chutzpah: the ability to plea for clemency due to being an orphan... after having for murdered your parents (Paranoia RPG reference). Or promising a country you won't invade if they give up nukes, and then when they do... you invade with the justification that they may get Nukes

You know, the UK speed awareness course (fyi 47mph at the point a 60mph zone dropped to 40mph) is actually pretty good. Fave fact: if two cars going 30mph and 31mph break the same way at the same place, the 31mph car will still be doing 8mph at the spot where the 30mph car stops.


Know anyone who can make good use of covid19directory.com or cv19response.com ? I registered them back in March last year and they are available if anyone has better use for them then letting them lapse.
