I think women in Orpington and around should be able to see the face of Joseph Farage, Nigel’s nephew who just admitted to upskirting. His sentence was just a series of fines, and he’s not on the sex offenders register, so how else are women kept safe? thetimes.com/uk/society/arti…

It was great to have @JuneAngelides on the podcast this week.
We discuss her journey from founder to investor, what she looks for in founders, the importance of storytelling as an entrepreneur, and knowing when to shut your startup down.
Enjoy!

Happy Birthday @TechLondonAdv! Last week, we joined @RussShaw1 to celebrate 10 years of TLA. Held at Magazine London as part of @CogX_Festival, #TLA10 celebrated a decade of achievement and growth for UK tech. Here's to the next 10 years!🎉 #TLA10 #TechLondonAdvocates
Hey folks, just a heads up, it appears that Monsieur Musk seems adamant he just wants to kill Twitter, I mean 'X', piece by piece. I won't be paying £11/m to use it. So if I do disappear that's the reason, and do feel free to connect on LinkedIn instead.
Anyone know why large swathes of the uk covered by @UKPowerNetworks appear to have a #powercut at the moment (including us in East Sussex)? Weather issues or maybe hacking?

“The purpose of private water companies has indeed been to profit‑maximise. It would be odd to expect the infrastructure and private equity funds to have decided to forgo an open goal.”

People with ADHD often have success amnesia.
We actually do a lot of awesome things well, but we forget about them and quickly move onto the next thing.
And because we're so often seeking the next thing, we forget to appreciate and acknowledge our success.

My latest project! Check it out if you fancy making a @Raspberry_Pi picoW powered clock with auto updating time!
Also features a little @CodeClub cameo as I teach myself to use blender using the kids tutorials so I could make my robot appear on the screen 😎
On #element14presents, @hifromkatie is building her own electronic twist on the time-honored cuckoo clock, with digitally-animated robots instead of birds and beeps instead of chirps! bit.ly/449Z1CD
