I’ve been in standup comedy school and loving it, and today I got to do 5 minutes on stage for the first time at a comedy club in Islington. What a rush!

I have straight up grandpa hobbies in the winter. Catch me at home sipping whiskey, playing chess, reading, and listening to old jazz on vinyl ✌️

I’ve just locked in a 3-month sabbatical. After 6-ish years of building the company and brand and being involved in basically everything across the Monzo product, it feels weird and amazing to say, ”that’s something you might have to decide while I’m away” 🌴

Kind of want to start a game of postal chess the old-fashioned way if anyone's interested. How long would a game take if we just sent postcards back and forth? A year? I basically just play chess online and would love a totally different rhythm.

I've been using Tweetbot exclusively for over 10 years. Hadn't been exposed to the official Twitter product since then and wow, it basically looks like Facebook now. Not for me. Hope I get Tweetbot and my clean chronological timeline back so I can stay 🤞🤞

Twitter has apparently shut down access to several of the most popular 3rd-party Twitter clients, including Twitterrific and Tweetbot. No official word on whether it's a bug or a policy, but either way: so dumb. Erratic clown car company. blog.iconfactory.com/2023/01…

Glitch in the matrix: I’m walking down 5th Avenue in Manhattan and I just ran into a couple we shared a sailboat with in Santorini in September 🤯

Our Design and Research team @monzo came together to summarise what we feel is so unique about design and research at a bank. It all started with a Slack thread from @jayclark___ and now you can all read it!

Every designer should know how to prototype. That is where functional design happens and you establish how a product behaves and feels. Figma is not a prototyping tool.

and now you're a transphobic loser humiliatingly exposed as an intellectual fraud motivated by a desperate need for affection that transcends any duty or ability to deliver product or results, destroying the perceived value of your companies. thats the wonder and magic of life

Imagine being the head of an agency called the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and saying that you can’t stop a disease from spreading

At the beginning of your career, you’re paid for how hard you work.
Later on, you’re paid for how hard you are to replace.
