Coming to Kilburn High Road soon?
There probably aren’t enough police in London to raid them all simultaneously though.

I love this Private Eye section as it genuinely does encapsulate the biases and framing of the British press

These extraordinary photos of the LA fires have been shared widely on social media, often without crediting the photographer.

These are all the work of Ethan Swope, an LA-based photojournalist working for AP.

Had fun today solving the GCHQ Christmas challenge. Couldn’t quite crack it all until my wife returned and helped with the last couple of clues

Product management is mostly asking these questions over and over again:

1. What problem are we solving here?
2. Who are we solving it for?
3. Why are we solving it?
4. Why now?
5. How will we know when it's solved?

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size.

At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

The first version of your product needs to solve one problem well enough that people want to give you money for it.

A while back I started making a product management starter pack. I couldn't find many PM folks then, assume there are more now.

Who should be on here?

Keen for it to include folks who are likely to post regularly, thought leaders etc.
