@TPEassist You can’t be held accountable for issues with the line. But you are accountable for leaving tens of people waiting for over an hour in freezing conditions by sending a minibus to replace a train. You choose profit over people’s safety, even when they’re paying customers.

⚠️Due to a broken rail in the #Huddersfield area TransPennine Express services running between #Manchester and #Huddersfield are being disrupted. 🕔Disruption is expected until 16:00. ℹ️ journeycheck.com/tpexpress/ (1/3)

@TPExpressTrains @TPEassist Why are you so disrespectful of your customers? Your rail replacement service tonight was pathetic, leaving people with tickets standing outside Man Vic in minus temps for over an hour. It’s a scam and you should be held accountable.

@TankSheffield Stop sending me spam by text message that can’t be unsubscribed using STOP or STOPALL. How do I get removed from your mobile list?

@JessChilds @ChiIdreninNeed Not really the point but you’ll be meaning @BBCCiN I think, not those other cowboys. 🙂

Young lad Sam singing for his dad on @ChiIdreninNeed just now broke me and made my heart swell all at the same time. What a way to honour his legacy. An inspirational young man full of courage and life beyond such a massive loss ❤️

@cmatthewbacon @SamsungMobile That’s not even an original bad idea… I’ll just hold down my iPhone power button. Hmm, weird… it’s summoned Siri. I’ll just hold it down again… no, go away Siri - I don’t want your help. Oh, actually, while you’re here - how do I turn off my iPhone?

@SpeakOfTheRevel @timpaul All of which was a total tangent to the new component in the GOV.UK kit. Apols! 🤦‍♂️

@SpeakOfTheRevel @timpaul Oh... that sounds like I meant this is an opportunity to ditch the policy and write a new evil one! I like transparency and I think this does need a strong policy. That said, most users I observe just tap OK and move on. Ethical responsibility might be better than transparency.

@SpeakOfTheRevel @timpaul That’s a very fair and important challenge to my cynical early morning quip! In truth, I haven’t read the UK GDPR policy - I just feel generally like alignment with exiting EU policies is mostly a quick win starting position, not genuinely considered policies.

@timpaul Just after we exit the EU and lose the EU GDPR cookie consent regulations? 😂

@samchilds @BrewDogJames @AldiUK @BrewDog Aye, that’s kinda the one. Though for a while it looked like Brewdog were genuinely doing one called “Yaldi”, but that must be the now so called ‘joke’ above. Well played both PR teams.

1) @AldiUK made a fake Punk IPA🤘 2) @BrewDog joked we would make a fake ALDI beer 🍻 3) ALDI got in touch to list the fake ALDI beer 🤝 4) BrewDog & ALDI agreed for every case sold they would each plant one extra tree in the BrewDog Forest 🌳 5) We canned this beer last week!🍺

@WolfgangBremer @TwitterDesign Had to laugh at this. Feel familiar @samchilds?

my typical design review 👇🏻

@__andrew_wilson You’re most welcome. We should catch up for that pint in Slawit sometime. Spring 2021 is currently looking good for me! 🤦‍♂️

Thank you, that's a nice surprise this morning and very kind. And a great way of doing the "nominate..." online challenge thing.

@TVuckovicJuros Thanks Tanja. That looks like a very interesting and relevant resource (and one to follow generally too). 👍

I'm looking for examples of literature about Participatory Action Research (PAR) and digital methods with children and young people (especially primary e.g. 5-11 years). Any relevant input or recommendations would be welcomed. #digitalsociology #research #par

@LukaszSzulc Brill, thanks @LukaszSzulc... definitely relevant yes. :-)

@onebc Koen worked with 12-21 y.o. Londoners so it could be relevant to some extent.

@LukaszSzulc Great, thanks @LukaszSzulc. Looks like there may be some relevant stuff in there. Some of the feminist studies are already known but it's specifically in (very) young people and digital that there seems to be a gap. Thanks again. :-)

@onebc Check this one for some reflections on participatory research and ethics: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1057/s4…

@ysabelgerrard or @SuayOzkula... do you have any recommendations? (And hello btw!) I did some exploring of obvious routes (Lupton, Marres, boyd, Marwick...) but couldn't find anything. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@samchilds @MindCharity You’re making the 25 press-ups seem much easier than you did at the start of the challenge. You’ll be doing them one handed by the end! 💪

@samchilds @MindCharity I’m like the new trim!

@samchilds @MindCharity Yeah, same. I’ve had a bad shoulder for a couple of weeks so had to take a pause but gonna get back on it shortly.
