Hey @marksandspencer your self checkout machines don’t universally take cash but your infographic uses cash iconography. This is bad UX. you should use an icon of a card.

Last night at a gelateria in France, the server gifted us a bottle of rosé + sweets for the kids. Why? Because my wife loved the wine & we’d been regulars all holiday. She didn’t need permission. She had agency. That’s how great business is built, through humans, not policies.

We took a short drive on the road along the river by our home this morning. As you can see, a bit overgrown due to cattle! This is exact same land on which we used to be able to see a herd of impala at 200 meters at this time of year, in the days before we began managing

This is a catastrophe. Valencia and its southern surroundings have been completely destroyed. 40-50cm of red clay, water multiple meters deep, +200 people dead. There was more rain in 12 hours than what falls in ONE year. 🧵

Despite the proven benefits of autonomy support, the default from kindergarten to college is to tell students what they must do. A new study finds that giving students choices - e.g., whether to do harder assignments - yields greater effort & achievement:

Two field studies suggest that giving college students greater autonomy can improve motivation and learning.

Launched 2.5 years ago "the largest ever criminal investigation into... widespread non-compliance... at thousands of sewage... works", has just been expanded to every company in England and Wales. What does that tell you about regulation last 33 years? https://t.co/o6jDQJw04W

As of today every single sewage company in England and Wales is under investigation as part of the "largest ever criminal investigation", into "widespread non-compliance". What the hell has @Ofwat and @EnvAgency been doing the last 33 years? https://t.co/mId4paLizs

Ofwat has given formal notices to Severn Trent, United Utilities, Dŵr Cymru Welsh Water, and Hafren Dyfrdwy to obtain evidence for its investigation.

A turd in the hand is worth… billions in profits! As OFWAT allows massive bill rises to reward @thameswater’s continued failure, here’s what my experience of standing in a river full of shit has taught me about the sewage crisis, it’s origins & what we must do to fix it 🧵

This report from the BBC is truly jaw dropping. South West has been pumping raw sewage into our rivers onto our beaches when it is not raining - which is illegal - on an industrial scale. What’s worse, they’ve been doing it at some of our most precious nature spots. (1/3)

Hamas fires rockets at Israel. In return, Israel strikes a tented camp in Rafah housing displaced civilians. Hard to see it any other way. And if you’ve got proof Israel that you were targeting Hamas, as you’ll say, then share with us the ISTAR footage. We don’t believe you.

Just The Mail getting fact checked by the Met Police… The fact that this rag is still treated as a ‘newspaper’ is a national embarrassment.

This is an inaccurate headline that will only fuel community concerns. The decision to cover the memorial was taken by park authorities, not the police. As the paper’s own article makes clear, it is a precaution Royal Parks have taken for a number of different events.
