@QuibbleUK It's unfair that the FCDO charges £45 for an apostille on a document, instead of the Register Office providing this. You get a legal document from an official source then have to send it to another official source to confirm that it is official before you can prove your identity!

Hello, we are Jonathan and Abigail - unashamed pedants who want to bring this affliction to bear on all things public policy and practice. We believe that details matter, especially in public administration. This is why today we are founding quibble: a campaign to fix the small stuff. Think, for example, about the cookie banner that we click on every webpage. Each instance is not a big deal, so we just put up with it. But its cumulative impact adds up - on average we press it 5 times per day. The European Commission estimates that it costs EU citizens 343 million hours per year. And who is there to represent the impacts of seemingly minor issues like this in a systematic way? We want quibble to be the answer. In the case of the cookie banner, lots of advocacy has rightly focused on privacy, but has this meant that user experience has taken a backseat? We believe there are ways to improve user experience without compromising on privacy. We will share more about this soon. Consider another example. Did you know that in some government-run car parks you can be fined for a minor keying error, such as accidentally typing a zero instead of an “o”? Again, we will come to the detail of this quibble in the coming weeks, but for now just consider again the question: who? Who is there currently to systematically represent the interests of the parker who is given an unfair ticket? An inherent feature of consumer interests is that those who have them rarely have enough other things in common to make collective organisation and representation feasible. This is the gap that quibble seeks to fill. Now of course excellent consumer interest groups exist. But understandably quibbles might not be at the top of their lists. Our hope is that quibble will be complementary; picking up the bottom-of-the-list issues faced by various groups - the stuff they are almost too embarrassed to raise because they are too small. We are not embarrassed about detail. If you’ve ever had a splinter, you know small things can have a big impact. This is what quibble is committed to tackling, and our wider hope is that by doing so we will also incentivise policy makers to be even more careful about detail.

@CunninghamA_ Well done! This was my goal as well until recently, it’s a great feeling to achieve it.

@BenjaminDEKR Ultra-integration

ChatGPT was going to be ultra-integrated into Windows (and then that kind of just fizzled out) Then ChatGPT was going to be ultra-integrated into Apple (that kind of just fizzled out) What is the common factor here?

The @Patriots are your 2025 AFC East champs 👏

@TeleCricket The commentary being 2 seconds ahead of the action really needs to be fixed. The overall package is very underwhelming, would be ok for a quiet series against Sri Lanka, but doesn’t capture anything close to the excitement of the Ashes, & no depth of analysis.

@NFLonDAZN @NFL Hey @NFLonDAZN on your iPad app, can I suggest you don’t put the final plays of the game right next to the video? It spoils the ending. Just flip it so the first play is at the top instead? Thanks.

@danhind I think she did a pretty good job in this clip actually.

The thing that stands out in this clip is that Farage says he wants to nationalise the water industry, but he doesn't want the government to run it, and he plans to use private capital. So ... that's not nationalisation. Why aren't the BBC able to point that out?

@bencoates1 Stroopwafelwinkeltje is a beautiful word

I like the way that in Gouda there is literally almost nowhere you can get a coffee at 8:45am, but you’ll have no problem buying stroopwafels at any time of day or night #priorities

@ThinkingFtball How many of Drake Maye's INTs were on him?

It's taken me 3 full days - but I've now officially charted EVERY interception of the 2024 season. AMA

@gemuir @ICC I'm having the same problem, and same yesterday, it seems their website is down @ICC

@ICC the icc-cricket.com/code page not found. I cannot login to my Apple TV

@BrettKollmann It amazes me how much people use AI to just ‘not do the work’, rather than to help them do it better.

To all the young creators out there who are new to this industry, PLEASE do not fall for the lie of “easy creativity” from people like MrBeast. Every successful piece of art in human history took effort. Not skill - just effort. It’s perfectly okay to not have skill at first! But there’s a difference between making something and generating it. Why would anyone ever care enough about your work to consume it when you don’t care enough about it to put in the effort to make it.

@Waterstones Oscar Wilde is surely the frontrunner

@WG_RumblePants @Hickbcfc I think the stats make decent case for Root. Root has 3000 more Test runs, 23 more half centuries, same no of centuries, and higher strike rate. Avg is only 6 runs lower than Smith.

@Hickbcfc My eyes agree with you. The stats don’t.

Annoyingly high. It irritates me, but he is the best of the Fab Four at Test cricket if I’m being totally honest. Now I need to go and have a shower.

@TheCricketerMag @GeorgeDobell1 It’s a 5 match series, they can slot him in from 3rd test for whoever makes fewest runs in the first two.

@SavageSports_ @Patriots Did they give him a microphone in proportion to his arms? 😅

Will Campbell! Says he’d love to go to a Celtics game and he’s never been to a hockey game in his life. Gotta get him to a Celtics playoff game. 🎥: @Patriots

@Sam_Dumitriu Surprising that this is not already the basis for planning really

This is a bold proposal from New Zealand. Restricting planning policy to solely deal with 'externalities' (e.g. impacts on neighbours.) Under the new system, planners will have no say in building layouts, if balconies should be included, and apartment size.

I have no idea how that hyphen ended up there.
