In Paris & it’s hard to miss the same thing I see in every major European city except London:
Large numbers of younger people, who are not notably wealthy, drinking & eating together & having a good time. Londoners on median incomes simply can’t do nice NORMAL things.

Who's the biggest artist you’ve seen perform in a small room?
Throwback to Kendrick Lamar celebrating 'Good Kid, M.A.A.D City' at Rough Trade East in 2012. The Compton rapper now makes history as the first solo rapper to headline a Super Bowl halftime show.

Google Maps should publish the square footage (or meterage, if possible) of supermarkets. When comparing different options, pure size is often the best metric to go by.

The beginning of something nice! You have no idea how many hours and sheer will I put in this...
Hoping that it will be way easier for people to start projects with @JUCElibrary and TracktionEngine on Apple platforms. At least for noobs like me! lol

I was quite enjoying an avant-garde EDM album until I realised it was just bluetooth skipping.

I think this is one truth in quite a complex system.
Other factors are :
- Vastly rising bills for both venues and punters.
- Pressure from developers and austerity forcing councils to go to the table.
- Austerity forcing police to reconsider licenses, essentially they don't have the resources to police the night.
- Brexit and the value of the pound to touring acts.
- Reduction in other income streams for artists and industry, 'disruptors' like Spotify hoovering-up much needed income.
- A vast change in habits of clubbers, drinking way less and partying differently.
- A large change in communal experiences being replaced by more individualistic ones.
- Reduction in income for everyone concerned.
- 'Spectacle' replacing art.
I could go on but you know, 'someone should write a book' etc.
Very much in agreement with you Geoff, just extending the discussion.

In 2020 me + @brianmackenna published a detailed paper in @bmj_latest describing how hospital medicines data in England was largely impossible to access for public good.
Thousands of you engaged!

BING BONG NEW PAPER
NHS hospital medicines data is being collected, but then needlessly withheld from analysts.
This means patients are exposed to sub-optimal treatment. And NHS money is being wasted.
The barriers are NOT technical. They are "people".

Cardiff art lovers. I’ve got 6 framed paintings (photo here pre framing) for sale at Davies Framing Services, 63 Clare Road. Some of my favourite pieces I’ve made this year.
Haven’t got individual photos of each piece (🤡).

nobody will remember:
- your salary
- how “busy you were”
- how many hours you worked
people will remember:
- nothing. You will not be remembered. You have conquered no lands. Forged no new nations. Fought for no noble causes. You existed for a brief moment but soon you, and everyone you ever met, will be dust

Holy Grail Labs makes electronics upgrades for classic cars. I founded this company with a mentee several years ago. We recently launched products for BMW 2002, E9 Coupes, and Bavarias (in addition the E28, E12, E21, E23, and E24 products we've been shipping for years.

We were at a BMW event today.
Us: “Hi! Nice 2002. Have you heard about Holy Grail Labs’ Blade Fuse Box for the 2002?”
2002 Owner: “Yep. Got one in here. Great product.”
Us: “🥰”
