@Pickledegg101 Yeah, trundling on thanks.
@Pickledegg101 I do feel a little peaky! (Hello, I hope you're doing OK.)
For anyone who isn't following the latest developments in this… er… car crash of a story, probably not in the UK, and who needs some context: theguardian.com/world/live/202…
@fshiruba :) It makes sense to a UK audience... theguardian.com/world/live/202…
@meejahoar Doing alright thanks. I hope all's good with you!
@meejahoar @davidallengreen Thank you. Hello!
@adamamyl I made it.
@donne_mark Quick work copying my work! twitter.com/philgyford/sta…
OK, fair enough, that checks out.
@tomcoates You're too kind.
OK, fair enough, that checks out.
Think how many collective human-hours spent following all this nonsense could have been saved with a simple, decent, "Sorry, I resign" a few days ago.
If you've always wanted to listen to me talk about the technical side of running pepysdiary.com using #Django then it's your lucky day! I'm on this podcast episode doing just that. @samuelpepys twitter.com/nickjanetakis/…
🎙️In this episode of Running in Production, @philgyford talks about building a site around Samuel Pepys using #Django. It's hosted on Heroku.
Phil goes over rewriting the project in Django and a whole lot more. The site gets about 150k+ page views / month runninginproduction.com/podcast/32-bui…

@TheMichaelMoran Ignoring the row - I am lightly amused that THIS is consistent with the Observer style guidelines.
I've been talking a lot about the bad study about Twitter bots and COVID-19 that has been shared widely over the weekend. I'd like to highlight a GOOD study on the same topic, mostly as an example of what I would like to see more of from researchers, & what media should look for.
