The club meetings in The Detectorists = Every Tech Media Conference Ever

Cancelo culture strikes again.

Everyone who needs to catch up on the progress (and sometimes the opposite) of digital government needs to read Jerry.

Immediate global ban applied to the words/terms "fanbase", "woke", "virtue-signalling", "TED Talks" and "futurologist/future-watcher/future-gazer". More news as we get it.

So what do I have to do to get a League Cup Final ticket? Kidney, (post-Dry January) liver and basic sense of dignity available in part exchange.

Please get in touch by mail with thoughts on the Blair/Hague 'redesign the state around tech' plan. #journorequest

Failed yesterday's Wordle with three goes at one letter remaining. #firstwordleproblems

Whatever your current problems, "team builder in Slough".

How to run a tech startup when a war is in the way...

I dare say the late Gordon Lightfoot didn't plan it this way but for years now, on waking up to the tell-tale patter on Velux windows, I never failed to think of the frail melody of his lovely song, Early Morning Rain.

Sad to hear the wonderful India Club on the Strand is closing. File near classic dead caffs such as the New Piccadilly, Centrale, Lorelei, Presto, & Gaby's Deli. Add pubs like the Pillars of Hercules & Carlisle Arms. Call those files The Last of London and fear for the future.

Four excellent tickets for Lloyd Cole in Newcastle on Friday - shout if you're interested.

Dominic 'Potemkin' Cummings is one of those people who uses words/references that others in the meeting won't understand so they all have to Google them. Classic British pass.-agg. meeting behaviour.

"Some followers live in private group homes, where they can brainstorm ideas, engage in philosophical debates and relax playing a four-person variant of chess known as Bughouse." Odd sentence in an otherwise fascinating story re. OpenAI's equally odd week. wsj.com/tech/ai/openai…

Clearly, the editing of the Royal Family portrait is the greatest new story of our time. I only wish the mainstream media could pursue it in more forensic detail.

I just saw this sickening news about the best football journalist since Brian Glanville and it's another kick in the shins. People mock the 'mainstream media' but good luck understanding this world without excellent writing, deep domain knowledge and editors who care.

I was already aware that I own shirts older than Lamine Yamal. Today, I found a to-do list item that was older than him.

Suella Braverman's excuse for sending government documents to her personal email account is technologically challenged. Split-screen software function on a large screen or adding a second physical screen would have worked just as well.

It took me 174 days of running across the USA to raise for charity what Isak earns in a week for not training/playing. That’s a tough one to reconcile. #nufc
