Like a stoned 1st year politics student at the end of Freshers week, #BBCLauraK is getting guests to rank their favourite cultures. Drunk 3rd year Badenoch is pitching for separating each one into "cool / not cool". Hopefully next week they'll repurpose the Top Gear 'cool wall'

On the big issues (like how much should we obsess over immigration: completely or just most of the time) @RobertJenrick doesn't want to "debate these things" as that's damaging to the party, he wants to "settle these things". I wonder what that means? Possibly nothing #BBCLauraK

@CAPsurvey @drmonkeyninja Small businesses are exempt from #EEA rules - so important if you're dealing with businesses who not only have no concern for their (disabled?) customers but also have no desire for growth! #FrontEndSheff

@CAPsurvey `@drmonkeyninja makes a case against off-the-shelf 'accessibility widgets': "It's fools gold", they often make #a11y problems worse.

Lots of us in #FrontEndDev made the #WebPerf case successfully about how fractions of seconds can cost $β¬Β£'s in conversations. Can research like @CAPsurvey allow us to do the same for #a11y? https://t.co/Mvtko7Nc9H

TIL 1/12 men have red-green color-blindness. It's not just a horrible stylistic choice that makes you look like a cheap Christmas decoration, it's an #a11y gotcha. Learning from @drmonkeyninja at @FrontEndSheff #FrontEndSheff

Pretty sure this is a copy of Jack White's untitled 'No Name' album. Explains the sudden burst of popularity.

I can't wait for this tomorrow. Really in a 'ready to learn' mode. @kitation has spoken at the #FrontEndSheff meetup before & I took away real, tangible, actionable ways I can improve my work.
Inexplicably (!) we still have tickets available for our Introduction to Screen Readers workshop this Thursday (25th July). We are thankful to experienced #a11y expert @kitation for agreeing to facilitate! π You'll need to bring a laptop & headphones. https://t.co/u4VfOkpCXW

If you're after a bargain on a 2nd hand yacht, you might soon be in luck.
Today I am beginning the process to appoint a Covid Corruption Commissioner to get back what is owed to the British people. The work of change has begun.
