@RupertLowe10 Is this supposed to be a good thing?

Twitter appears to be all "whataboutery" the last couple of days.

@thecourieruk And one reason that Darren McGarvey and many more people disagree with Jim Spence.

@reformparty_uk @AngusReform Fantasy. 100 days to change the law? Not a chance. The house of Lords and the house of Commons EACH have 5 stages. You'd get more voters if you had realistic policies.

"What a gay day" comes to mind but the under 60s won't have a clue what I'm talking about.

[Quite Interesting @qikipedia]

Until 1979, Sweden classified homosexuality as a mental illness. That year, activists took the classification as an illness to its logical extent - Swedes called in too gay to go to work.

Another school shooting. Three kids killed before their life really began. And so the gun lobby is out in force. The USA seems to be too much gun oriented to seriously do much about it.

"Fridges" and 50C does not compute. Do they double as air fryers?

@athiestboi Atheism is only about one question but some of us don't believe that there is such a thing as "nothing".

@RupertLowe10 Dunblane says no.

@godlywomanhood And President John Adams is the arbitrar? This is the logcal fallacy termed the argument from authority. BTW He made writing against the government illegal. Is that ok as well?

@stewartgreenuk @JuliaHB1 I think that a person has their right to believe in any faith they want to. Surely I have my right to have no faith. If you don't want assisted death at the end then fine. That's your choice. I do want the option. My body. My choice. Let me choose.

@TheBlazeCricket A brilliant watch.

@BBCScotlandNews Hardly a shock given the price of tobacco products. Some will give up, some will suck it up and some will look to get tobacco cheaper.

@RealSirTomJones @thevoiceuk Wow at any age but FFS hes 86.

[Colin McLean @Doctor_Hacker]

Regardles of their politics, I can safely say that every one of the UK's government leaders in my life have had a mental age in double figures. It's Lake Ontario and The Gulf of Mexico you orange twat.

This is the stark reality of vaccine disinformation. It is starting from the very top in the USA (RFK Jr and his band of outliers).

[ABC News @ABC]

Two people have died in Pennsylvania from measles, the state health department said. Both were unvaccinated.

These are the first deaths related to measles within the state in 35 years and the first deaths reported this year in the U.S.

@JuliaHB1 @AnnetteJBE You said "Cold is the killer, not heat". You are wrong. They are both the killer.

[Colin McLean @Doctor_Hacker]

@JuliaHB1 You have no compassion,

@DrJohnNS 😀 Good idea. I have barely thought about academia since I retired. Not our problem any more John. Back to my garden and DIY!
