The sheer joy of discovering the tape measure malteser game.

Key lessons learnt:
1. Tension is key
2. Choose elevation wisely
3. Most spherical chocolates only

The look of a man realising he'll need to bring a fire extinguisher to the turret #TheTraitors

[beth ✨ @raggedydocs]

thoughts and prayers to stephen. that poor man is flabbergasted #thetraitors #thetraitorsuk

[Andrew Smyth @cakesmyth]

@smythjunior @Tonygardner Ah wonderful show

[Andrew Smyth @cakesmyth]

@TheBrianMcManus I would also be furious if there was “no acknowledgement” of him competing for Ireland. But where is your evidence? “Ireland” or “Team Ireland” are mentioned 5 times in the main BBCNI article: https://t.co/AhBU4secFD

French airspace during the Opening Ceremony of the 2024 Olympics

[Andrew Smyth @cakesmyth]

@GastroGays Mad. We were howling

[Andrew Smyth @cakesmyth]

Trust my Northern Irish mother to wangle her way into Opening Ceremony coverage for 2 countries 🤣 #Olympic

[Andrew Smyth @cakesmyth]

@herr_fleming She’s embedded with Team Ireland but for some reason they seem to have scrambled the volunteers on the boats 🤣

[Jim Waterson @jimwaterson]

Oh the poor Olympics camera operators and directors. Beautiful single shots that took months of planning completely screwed by the rain because they don’t have a second camera for the director to cut away to and give time for a lens wipe.

[Andrew Smyth @cakesmyth]

@imshanereaction Weirdest thing about this is my mum is on the left in blue 🤣

[Andrew Smyth @cakesmyth]

@amyneurons Delighted to hear it, working away on some potential projects but stuff moves slow in telly world!

[Andrew Smyth @cakesmyth]

The before and after on that heroic #Starship flap, clinging on for dear life. Incredible to watch, bravo to the engineering team

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

That looks like a successful soft landing.

DAMN WHAT A LEGEND!

1. I'm legit shocked by the design of @Meta's new notification informing us they want to use the content we post to train their AI models. It's intentionally designed to be highly awkward in order to minimise the number of users who will object to it. Let me break it down.

[Scott Manley @DJSnM]

Oh dear.... @neiltyson teaching that wings work through the fallacy of equal transit theory. As if the atoms in one piece of air somehow know what the atoms in in the air on the other side of a wing are doing.

We have enough problems with new pilots getting this strange unphysical idea without someone who'd supposed to have a degree in this promoting this as a fact.

[Andrew Smyth @cakesmyth]

Aurora is something else, amazed we’re seeing it in Derby

[Andrew Smyth @cakesmyth]

@DrDavidBoyce Amazing colour variation!

[Andrew Smyth @cakesmyth]

@JamieBGall Always in awe of your speed 😂

[Andrew Smyth @cakesmyth]

@smythjunior @PicturesFoIder Straight to jail

[Andrew Smyth @cakesmyth]

@JamieBGall Found this exact same frustration with maths (calculus) and physics (electricity) 😂
