202: Area 51
Hello.
Parliament streamed on Twitch
I won't talk a lot about politics here (I'm still recovering from a stress headache which I think I gave myself from watching the rather heated Commons debates on Wednesday night) but I'm rather tickled by being able to watch along with other people on Twitch.

If that Bret Stephens / Area 51 tweet didn't mean much to you (and even if it did), you might enjoy the latest Reply All podcast which dissects and explicates it beautifully.

I've been Zapier recently to automate ALL THE THINGS
You might enjoy it if your job involves trello/spreadsheets/emails (knowledge workers of the world unite!) you probably find yourself wanting to be easily smoosh them together. You don't need to be able to code to use Zapier to create simple logic flows (a-la ifttt.com but perhaps a little more powerful). It has a nice free tier for tinkering. I like it.
Sorry for the inconvenience
How long has it been since various transport companies said sorry on Twitter?

Nice! I will use this.
Yours sincerely
