2/2 So, people in Good Girls end up in the OITNB prison. Or Tiger King tried to mess up with David Attenborough’s Netflix docs

1/2 What if @netflix actually had two ‘universes’: one ‘cinematic universe’ where all it’s films and tv series are connected, and another ‘documentary universe’ where there are hidden storylines and connections among various non-fiction?

@sjors That reminds me of an old blogpost on the guide to use WeChat emojis zarazhang.com/2016/07/27/a-g…

@bobbywatson Perhaps I should say we're fluent in a time-space-limited emojii dialect :)

Just realised that when my generation retires, we'll be the first generation of old people fully fluent in Emoji 🤔

@JoelGSamuel There was a 2007 patent from Apple on that appleinsider.com/articles/09/01… it would be about time they deliver. There’s been generations of iPhones, iPads and Apple Watches in between...

Has anyone invented a display that has a webcam in the middle behind the panel? I feel like 2020 should have delivered this.

Busy week, but this is top of my weekend list: listening @iotwatch talk about creating a culture of innovation #design #innovation open.spotify.com/show/0IGKIWlZc…

@xMartin @s_DesignTools is there anyone in your network who might be interested in a strategic design role for a Nairobi/Addis/Hamburg-based social impact startup?

We're looking for a Strategic/UX Designer in sub-Saharan Africa. A business enthusiast with strong user-centered design skills to analyse innovative social businesses and develop ideas for digital solutions to help them scale. impacc.org/strategic-ux-d…

@xMartin @michaelsenyos @YannLeBeux I see you reached out to @YannLeBeux :)

Hey @michaelsenyos! @YannLeBeux recommended you could help spreading the word about the Strategic/UX Design job above. Would be much appreciated 🙏 Any interesting groups or touchpoints of the Ugandan design community I should be aware of?

@BrunoFigueiredo 😢😯

@BrunoFigueiredo Having lived in countries (China, Germany, Netherlands) where Google Translate was my go-to tool for many official communication, I found I had to change how I would write. 2/2

@BrunoFigueiredo Writing a‘Google translate-ready’ piece of content is an interesting skill. Different type of writing, where all the ambiguous abstractions, and peculiar grammar forms need to disappear. 1/2

@iotwatch @cassiocassio does that resonate?

Made me think about the brief for the Barbican. It was meant to cater to middle class "young professionals, likely to have a taste for Mediterranean holidays, French food and Scandinavian design” and that was in 1959. barbicanliving.co.uk/barbican-story…

‘existing isn’t living" but it sure beats being dead.

@wickedgeekie I’m sure the NPS Spirit will come overnight to collect it. Mark your answer, leave the sheet together with a glass of milk and some candy

Gas engineer who did the boiler's annual check handed me this sheet along with the report, then left before I could see what it was. Who was asking recently if #NPS is a valid metric? Well, not when it's asked like this, also not when answers aren't collected, LOL.

@feather @wickedgeekie @Intentionaut Awesome! DM on it’s way

@wickedgeekie @bobbywatson @Intentionaut Thank you for thinking of me 🙏🏼 I’d be happy to talk through this with you. DMs are open but let me know if another channel would be more effective.

Who do I know who could run a (paid) keynote for a corporate event on inclusive design? #askingforafriend (really)

If - like me - you are positioned at the intersection of two Venn bubbles - “cat lovers” and “brutalist architecture buffs”, there’s an Instagram account for you instagram.com/cats_of_brutal… #catsofbrutalism #cats #architecture

@BrunoFigueiredo I’m shocked! Not something that was not foreseeable.
