@marcventresca Sending you best wishes for a speedy and easy recovery!

Great thanks to each, all, for wishes of good health and healing + overall generous comments. On the mend (slowly) after a bad bout w strep infection in my leg. Grateful to several medical teams and access to quality care - and to everyday workers who care for very sick people

Hahahahahaha

This is so good

Mark the Platinum Jubilee of Her Majesty, The Queen, this year with a regal inspired pincushion kit! As our #ProductoftheMonth, it comes with free P&P in the UK for the month of April 2022. justhands-on.tv/product/produc… #jubilee #pincushion

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? No way it's been 14 years... #MyTwitterAnniversary

@herdmeister Sending you a big hug!!

Don’t normally do personal here but here goes. The last few years have been incredibly difficult for me personally, pandemic aside. Losing my beautiful wife after years of awful illness. But today has been a particularly shite day.

I just realized my non-US friends probably don't know how US insurance works. So lets say your employer offers insurance. They pay a portion and then you pay a portion. For a family, the employee pays on average about $400 per pay cycle, or $10,400 per year.

More embarrassment for Rishi Sunak at the petrol station as he tries to pay for a sausage roll with six uncut diamonds and a Fabergé egg.

Extraordinary letter in @ft from former UK defence attaché at Moscow embassy - we warned you about Putin but you listened to the City instead

"You care about your employees' well-being; but you're probably doing it wrong" - our white paper on well-being at work is now a Medium (long) article bit.ly/3s6oqwb

Fundamentally, world is different now. Acting as if it isn't, which UK seems determined to do, may feel good in short term but will result in a new normal worse than the old one. I prefer for us to build a new normal that's *better* than frequent sickness & disruption. 13/13

Nordic intel this week: • two early stage metaverse developers raised a total of $60+ million. • two crypto markets operators also raised almost $20 million in total. • early stage vertical blockchain-based marketplace was pre-seeded. nordic9.com/knowledge/cont…

Why use "anecdotal" as a term of disparagement? If it's worth retelling, it probably contains new or unexpected information. e.g. the Titanic had a lot of data to say that there were no icebergs at that latitude in April. Anecdotal reports suggested there was one straight ahead.
