Pretty bored of everyone posting their largely identical, middling claude.md files.
Multisession context management is the real unlock.
there is a massive #virginmedia outage affecting both their #broadband service and the website you need to use to report problems and look for status, and there is no clear communication about what is going on. Whats going on, @virginmedia !!
Exactly this. We have seen this in three consecutive elections now. Active transport, LTNs, ULEZ….all vote winners. The angry motorists have led the tories into political irrelevance.

The National Trust are running one of the best communications strategies I've ever seen to counter an Astro-turf far right assault - ethical PR courses will use this to teach

Today, we're announcing Alliance for the Future @aftfuture — our ED is the indefatigable @psychosort, and the board consists of me, @JonAskonas, and the legendary @beffjezos.
For too long, the AI discussion has been dominated by crazy people along with companies that want to regulate competitors out of existence. That ends now. AFTF will be a voice for sanity.
We're a 501(c)4, the same form that is used by the ACLU and many other organizations. This allows us more flexibility to lobby but it means donations are not tax deductible. We know that's a drag for many people but it means we can engage with politicians about legislation and the like without having to worry about our status being in danger.
You might want to follow @aftfuture for future announcements.
Web site is affuture.org — forgive the imperfections, we're all pretty new at this.

First upzoning, now low-traffic neighbourhoods:
We’re now consistently seeing evidence that many policies which are supposedly unpopular (because the system is designed so we only hear from the objectors) turn out to be popular when you do proper representative surveys.
Fantastic news and congratulations for your hard work organising and opposing this @Paul_Gadsby and @AnnieGallop! With luck a @UKLabour government can make this kind of racket illegal.

Yet another report showing that London's LTNs are effective in reducing traffic within schemes, without generally increasing traffic on surrounding roads. Either there's a massive conspiracy by the all-powerful evil cyclists who control the world or maybe... LTNs work.
New academic analysis of 46 London Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (587 locations) shows:
👍Substantial falls in motor traffic within LTN schemes 👍Little avg change in motor traffic on LTN boundary roads
LTNs can play an important part in reducing traffic💚

Dear 🇬🇧,
As we approach the NHS 75th anniversary, here's your reminder that 10 years ago, it was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don't need a new system. You need a new govt that won't intentionally destroy it for their own financial benefit.
#SOSNHS #NHS75
ALT A chart from the Commonwealth Fund 2014 "Mirror Mirror" report ranking healthcare systems among wealthy nations. The UK ranked 1 in nearly every category, including overall ranking. It delivered the best care for the least amount of money, beating every other wealthy nation. We don't need a new healthcare system. We need a new government that will care about it.
Well we’ve had the U.K.’s emergency alert test today and subscribers of @ThreeUK have received nothing. 4 three phones silent, one Vodafone phone went off here in Brixton. #EmergencyAlerts #emergencyalert judging from the Twitter Traffic seems like three dropped the ball.

There is no huge influx. We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries. This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the 30s, and I’m out of order?
fantastic blueprint for improving our neighbourhoods in #lambeth especially the parts about #trees and #bicycle storage! thanks @lambethlabour, look forward to seeing the implementation details and consultations.
