Interesting link (via @charlesarthur) - petrol cars seem to be more of a fire risk than full electric vehicles. But hybrids are by far the most risky autoweek.com/news/industry-…
Inflation like this is alway brutal on those with essentially fixed incomes.
I’d only disagree with @EstherKeziaT’s prediction on @mediavoicespod about the end of Zuck at Facebook within a year on a technicality: the company has an ownership structure that makes it very hard to depose him.

In light of the BBC asking staff to remove TikTok from their phones, and a US ban on the app becoming more likely — how should journalists be thinking about TikTok now?
Meanwhile, in Russia, it’s the iPhone getting banned…

@baekdal Yes, it’s being discussed quite a bit in SMM/ audience circles - there’s a bunch of notification that are just going missing.
@t3o4n5y @DMattin @thetimes Yup.
I don’t make the rules.
@djknowles22 The distillery’s upgraded a bit…
Dear @thetimes,
I know Giles Coren is too stupid to be allowed to own an electric car, so you can stop promoting that vacuous piece where he proved that now, ta.

We’re being shown a BBC package from 2016 in which the councils claimed they had a plan. And @timloughton backed that.

There’s a space opening up again, for niche communities, which deliver value both to the users — and to the host.
Part two of a four part series…
@kevglobal Part two of the series:
@EstherKeziaT Catharsis can be pleasurable…
But, yes, it needs saying. The UX of local sites in the UK has been disappearing down the tubes, which sometimes disguises the content problems.
Wow. @EstherKeziaT delivers one hell of a burn to Reach 🔥 voices.media/an-online-atte…
…and with that reach came appallingly low standards of moderation and a lack of rules of engagement.
If we want to build more positive online communities again, we need to start withe the rules, and build from there.
