The owner of the Daily Sport is a wrong 'un? Truly nobody could have seen this coming. I, for one, am shocked and saddened.

Whoever’s turned Kemi Badenoch into a comedian is a total genius but she’s still a fool.

Literally the same. Debate over.

I did not expect to see this intersection of Star Trek and the shit show that is London > North West train travel today.

In the highly unlikely event any SEO people still see my posts here - come to MerseySearch next Tuesday! linkedin.com/feed/update/urn…

Look. I know I commented on a post about the guy. But I do NOT need an entire 'for you' feed about Russell Brand.

I sent ChatGPT an audio file of a series of FART sound effects and asked what it thinks of "my music" and this is what it said

How come Katie McCabe’s conduct always ends up somehow being Lauren James’s fault?

Forgot about this. Up the Chels indeed Catarina Macario.

They’re called ifs.ai but their domain is actually ifs.com?

Madonna??? Like when Michael Jackson just casually went to Exeter City.

PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days. You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Side effect of two European road trips and a tour of Aus & NZ via Hong Kong and Singapore. I am way better at Geoguessr than I used to be. So I guess it’s South America next for me.

The company hired me to lead their "Agile Transformation." I don't know what Agile means. Nobody does. That's why it works. I make $425,000 a year. To move sticky notes. From left to right. On a board. The board is digital now. The sticky notes cost $80,000 in Jira licenses. Progress. Day one, I said "we need to break down silos." Everyone nodded. Silos are bad. I don't know why. But destroying them is a career. My career. I introduced "squads." Squads are teams. But disrupted. We disrupted the teams into teams. Different names. Same people. Same problems. But Agile problems now. Agile problems are strategic. A senior engineer asked what we're actually changing. I said, "The mindset." He asked what that means. I said, "It's a journey." He asked where we're going. I said, "Toward agility." He asked what agility means. I pointed at the sticky notes. They were moving left to right. That's velocity. We have velocity now. The VP of Engineering said two-week sprints don't fit their work. I said, "That's waterfall thinking." Waterfall is bad. Like silos. I don't know what waterfall is. But I know it's bad. She stopped talking. Waterfall accusations end conversations. We had a retrospective. In the retro, we discussed what went wrong. Everything went wrong. We put it on sticky notes. Then we moved the sticky notes. Into a column called "Parking Lot." The Parking Lot is where problems go to die. It's full. We don't look at it. That's agile. Velocity is up 40%. I defined velocity. I also defined the points. I also defined the stories. We're crushing it. At the things I made up. To measure. Ourselves. The CEO asked for ROI. I showed a chart. The chart went up. Charts should go up. This one did. I didn't label the Y-axis. Nobody asked. Leadership is confidence. We do standups now. Every day. We stand. For 45 minutes. Standing is agile. Sitting is waterfall. My legs hurt. But we're transforming. The transformation is now "Phase 3." Phase 1 was assessment. Phase 2 was implementation. Phase 3 is "continuous improvement." Continuous means forever. Forever means job security. I'm very secure. My contract was extended. Three more years. For "cultural impact." The culture is confused. But impacted. Agile transformation isn't about being agile. It's about transforming. Continuously. Toward more transformation. The destination is the journey. The journey is billable.

✍️ New for @The_Cutback A brilliant comeback from United but a feeing of it being overshadowed by missed chances, poor defending and a sense of “what if” 34 shots, an xG of 4.98, how didn’t United win this game? See my thoughts below👇 thecutback.com/p/manchester-… #MUWomen

There’s a Kristie Mewis quote for this occasion…

The lesser spotted Sam Kerr (and me). You would think she would be all over Aus but no.

Feel very passionately (for obvious reasons) about more women's football specific coverage, and the more people help fund it, i.e. paying for subscriptions, the more the industry can deliver🧵
