@ExeterCouncil Nice idea, but the students have mostly gone home, so now these bins will be out all summer. Maybe re-post the labels in October?

@BenPBradshaw @CoBikesElectric @CoCars Can @UniofExeter help? Assume they have a big corporate membership?

🌹 New research from @LabourTogether reveals: 💥 Electoral reform would make the most positive impact of any democratic reform - say Labour's key target voters. 📊 Both 'Workington Man' and 'Stevenage Woman' see PR as *more* positive than devolution or Lords reform. (1/5) 🧵

I don’t understand why @DevonCC is removing the semi-pedestrianisation from Queen St, when it’s so busy that pedestrians already have to walk in the road because the pavement’s not wide enough… @philbialyk @BenPBradshaw

@edsaperia Oo. What is prompt?

So now I can talk a little about this; I did some work for Anthropic this year filling in for the Prompt Engineer / Librarian role they’re currently hiring for. They’ll have their work cut out for them, that’s for sure.

The Life in the UK test handbook was updated with this rather chill picture of our monarch, but it's two prime ministers behind. Tbf it's hard to keep up
