💉 How well did the 2023–24 COVID vaccines protect adults? A new study found they reduced critical illness by 48%, hospitalisations by 30%, and ER visits by 24%. Protection peaked early and waned over time. 🔗 doi.org/10.1001/jama... #SciComm #COVID19 🧪 #Vaccines

The wealth-worship of Tory/Ref voters is truly pathetic. Many of these people are not, and never will be, super-rich, and cannot understand that they do not benefit from CEOs earning x200 what they do.

The world’s solar capacity reached 1,419 gigawatts in 2023, way beyond any predictions. 1 gigawatt = power for a medium sized city

Back in the day, Twitter used to be really good if I set up a thread to connect freelancers with clients. Let's see if Bluesky can do it. Clients: if you're looking for freelancers/contractors, get in the comments Freelancers/contractors: get in comments Everyone else: boosts appreciated

I don’t know what it is, but I’ve got a really good feeling about Front End North. I’m so excited to speak and hear the other talks, meet new people, have some fun, learn some things, get energised again. If you’re on the fence about a ticket, come and hang out - it’s going to be awesome.

When I got involved with Front End North, one of the things I wanted to achieve was an affordable ticket price. My inspiration was WordCamp London, which priced its tickets so that the whole community could come - not just developers, but testers, designers and writers too.

Early bird tickets are now live! It's a wonderful day, made so by all the wonderful people who attend and talk and share their experiences (importantly that means attendees too ❤️). It's a few months away, but secure your seat and join us in November: 2025.ffconf.org

Many, many thanks to everyone who played a part in making last Friday's @pixelpioneers.co Bristol such a wonderful day: all the speakers, sponsors and supporters, attendees, volunteers, and MC @philhawksworth.dev of course! Stay tuned for the full photo gallery and the videos of the talks!

A while ago we pulled down an old shed and then a couple of weeks ago I spread wildflower seeds over the spot Think it’s fair to say the buzzy critters love it and there’s still loads of flowers yet to bloom

I feel like there used to be more understanding that if you punish people the same for mild acts of protest and actual terrorism you just make terrorism look more appealing.

Probably the most thought provoking talk at @pixelpioneers.co was @nearestnabors.com tour of the agentic web - left me with lots of thoughts and questions #PixelPioneers
