Anyone else think it’s a shame you can’t put medium length posts on here?

The thing I love about language learning is it’s a pure test of time and patience.
Then pop - you’re doing it.
It really is an amazing feeling.
Long-term satisfaction.

Spending time working out pricing for cloud computing…
Sucks the fun out of a project. Not fun.

I’m mourning the loss of my Monzo widget after the latest iOS update.
I’d had that baby since June ‘16. It was an 8 year romance. We were so financially compatible.
@monzo.com - no text, no call. I’m doing ok though thanks x
I’m going to go back on the apps to look for a third-party solution.

I left X even though I had 100k followers. It was a hard decision.
Let’s see how it goes over here.

Weird fact Wednesday:
I keep a note called "Me" where I write down personal realisations I have.
This might sound totally loco, but I've found it's helped me understand more about myself and helps me analyse my attributes against one another, drawing different conclusions.
Would recommend!

I think a trick has been missed when designing a new Twitter.
I wonder how different the engagement would be if there was a simple chat box at the bottom of the timeline to tweet.
People often say it’s like a big group chat. Push the UX more toward that so others “get it”.

Is there such a thing as being a culturalist?
Meaning that you discriminate against other cultures?

I was once at a coffee van in London with my Italian friend who was visiting.
I picked up my coffee and started walking off.
He exclaimed: “what are you doing 🤌🏻…we drink here”
I burst out laughing and then had the best conversation with the barista who was from Nepal.
Italians do it best.

Someone asked me last night
“I can ask Perplexity what’s on in my local area, how are you going to compete?”
The answer is, if you think AI tells you what’s going on, then you’re in for an overwhelming shock when you look TownSpot.
Kentish Town has 150+ on each week, it’s brimmingly awesome!

Last night I dreamt that I’d started French lessons with Emmanuel Macron, 1-on-1 at my old high school.
All I can say is that I didn’t think he was that good and was surprisingly small in stature.
He look knackered too. I’m not surprised though, considering the current political turmoil.
