@sw1nn @otfrom @madar1a Excellent choice. I could go for some buttery pumpkin pasta right now.

@MalloryKnodel @alixtrot Same. Only, at the 5 year mark. Very, very poor tactics.

@alixtrot @MalloryKnodel Not jealous. No, really. Only 6 years and counting here.

I'm hiring data/AI/eng people of many types to build up my data team at @healx ! Let me know if you're interested - remote-first, mission-driven, super interesting fast growing company. Pro/con, you get to work with me 😉 eg role boards.greenhouse.io/healx/jobs/578…

@alixtrot Just reading this as I finish the ever challenging solo parent double bedtime 😂 Every time it makes me wonder how single parents do not lose their minds entirely

This looks like it will be a very interesting bunfight 😉

Great to see this at our kid's primary school - being realistic about how to help all children focus :)

@Geek_Manager Piano tuner. School careers officer then tried to convince me that I should become a squaddie as they provided "very good music training".

What did your school career tests say you should do? I’ve just remembered mine said: First choice: ballerina Second choice: truck driver Anyone else out there who got the same or similarly incongruous outcome? (I ended up as a CTO but that job probably didn’t exist then?!)

@Geek_Manager @editingemily Meri, you earned your place in heaven right there.

@editingemily And then when she’d made a pot of tea, and drunk two cups whilst they were still hot, she looked at me and said “If you’d be willing to just stay there for 10 more mins I could take a shower...” with such wistfulness I said I’d stay as long as she needed and just cancelled plans

I wish there was a non-creepy way of offering to help parents of babies on planes. Like a t-shirt that said, “I survived the baby phase and I’ll walk them up and down the aisle while you nap.”

@JoannaChoukeir Dennis Stevenson. Did a good Bottom Line episode about it

@stianwestlake I'd ask @olihawkins

Data & politics question: where could I find a data set that tells me who all UK Government ministers were at any given time, ideally from 1945-present?

@PurpleBooth @Geek_Manager Damn. Very much not the same thing! Agree both are cool though.

@fhr @Geek_Manager It's Capybaras! Pangolin's are good too though, like pinecones with legs

A pangolin. Which I have a huge tattoo of now 🤩 flickr.com/photos/meriwil…

The kind of thing that organizations claim they want: accountability. The kind of thing that organizations do:

As a... – Google Maps user I want to... – receive a monthly email highlighting the 2 supermarkets and the local field that have I visited this month So that... – I can reminisce about the highlights of my month

@mattstratton @jesslynnrose Fantastical here also. It also helpfully adds a "join" button to video meeting invites so you don't have to hunt for them

@catherinebuk 😂

@catherinebuk School lunches of the world!

@catherinebuk There are loads of directions to go from there - eg mochi (pounded rice balls) in Japanese festivals, the different types of rice eg in Thailand or China, pictures of rice paddies...

@catherinebuk Related facts - the word for rice and food are the same in Japanese (gohan)
