Having had time to reflect, some words on Figma’s acquisition by Adobe.

Well that was blooming lovely #Detectorists

Wow @timminchin, what an incredible end to the fantastic Upright. Bawling at the final act, so beautifully written.

Forgot Sigrid’s Christmas song existed, and now just have it on loop. Blissful. open.spotify.com/track/1SBo8…

The reason this hurts so much is purely down to Southgate. Instilled a real belief again, and shaped the best England team for decades. Easily the most in-form England tournament team since Euro 96. These youngsters have real potential. #ENGFRA

Great to see @glastonbury finally got Elton John. Will be a fantastic end to next year’s festival.

M&S acquiring @thread seems a very strange fit, excuse the pun. One of the high street’s most antiquated stores, underperforming in an era of changing shopping habits, buying a forward-thinking AI-driven tech fashion company. Can’t imagine it will integrate successfully.

Surprised to see an update to Rowmote after six years – assumed it was abandonware at this point. Wonder what plans @evands has for it? apps.apple.com/gb/app/rowmot…

Super impressed with #schema2022 @figma so far. Looking forward to some inspirational talks.

Loved this documentary mini-series about the BBC. Both Dimbleby and the BBC at their finest – astute and self-aware, but not afraid to challenge authority, in this case itself. Sure it will be shown to journalism and media students for years to come. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

Surprised by just how good, and edgy, #FridayNightLive was. Ben Elton has produced some dross in the last 25 years, but that was a passionate return to form. Huge range from old hands retreading ancient material to some bright new talent – especially Leo Reich and Sam Campbell.

So impressed with the @btsport app for football viewing, especially on Apple TV. The future we dreamed of – awesome picture quality, in-game highlights and beautiful, simple UI. You can even AirPlay another game PiP in the corner. Let’s hope Discovery don’t ruin it next season.

Had to rewatch the pet cemetery scene in this week's Ghosts three times, so so funny. Hilarious from @MarthaHD, and great writing from @realmatbaynton @JimHowick. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0…

My first live #RHLSTP last night, and a brilliant one at that. Truly wonderful to see @RealBobMortimer chatting with @Herring1967. Haven’t laughed that much in ages, and enlightening to hear them discussing comedy itself in depth. Looking forward to re-listening on the podcast.

Before even airing, this may well be one of the worst things that’s made it to BBC One in a long time. Looks truly awful.

If iOS 16 third party widgets aren’t working, this is an easy fix for the bug. Or just toggling the temperature °C to °F works too. For me, Carrot Weather wouldn’t show on the Lock Screen, and Home Widget was broken on Home Screen, despite others working. #iOS16

Love the ambition, creativity and innovation of the @verge redesign. We need more of this on the web. That said, for me, it’s just endless random blocks of lists and excerpts. Feels more like an over-stylised concept than a UX-based coherent design.
