What is twitter if not but a muster of peacocks fanning their tail feathers in unison?

People used to get freaked out when I told them what I was putting together for my PhD. People asked often. I always began with, pre Snowden @arusbridger, "Do you know about GCHQ and the NSA? Well I am designing the meta data visualization tools for data like that"1/4

Waiting for the verdict! On 31.5.23 I assisted Ari in her wheelchair in her right to protect us from climate breakdown with the successful @JustStop_Oil on their way to stopping all NEW Oil, coal and gas licenses. Like 2 supprt the right to protest. RT to supprt #ClimateAction

Have you ever wished to view the world from a completely new perspective? This thread on cool maps is here to blow your mind.

@I_amMukhtar 27? Only 27?

@MarkTrewick1 What do you think to the sphere of science and how we assess evidence and material reality? Do you know much about the methodology there?

This was our 105th plastic extraction from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch:

@globalhlthtwit Aye. Strongly suspect our 7 yr old lad is with long covid.

[Anthony Costello @globalhlthtwit]

Another poor quality study that underestimated the prevalence of Long Covid in children has had to be retracted.

Reposting now folks are awake in the UK!

[EmmersonLickspittle @Em_Lickspittle]

@hughosmond Oh, you are one of those. I appreciate your opinion and wish you the best in life. Namaste.

[Stephen Griffin @SGriffin_Lab]

Folks, a couple of nasty accounts worth blocking that have put scientists and clinicians on targeted twitter lists...

[EmmersonLickspittle @Em_Lickspittle]

@hughosmond It is not just that extreme events as we've known them (the frequency) is set to increase year on year, but also we expect the intensity of events to increase too i.e. more energy in the system. Think to what I said on the graphs, both intensity and frequency increasing 2/2

[EmmersonLickspittle @Em_Lickspittle]

@hughosmond Turn to the climate science literature! Indeed, even msm has reported on some of that. What has happened is that the curve has extended and has a longer and fatter tail on the 'extreme event' axis and with averages shifting right i.e. more probable. This is the important point1/2

[EmmersonLickspittle @Em_Lickspittle]

@MarkTrewick1 Consequently, it is a cheese grater even when you are not using it as such and it sits there. As for the matrix comment, I think the argument there different but it is more a line with a meaning meant to be aloof and a little woowoo 2/2

[EmmersonLickspittle @Em_Lickspittle]

@MarkTrewick1 Yeah, I listened to your cheese grater bit. Thing is, that metal was shaped or cast or molded, and a load of other things made to make it. It has an imprint and a human intent in it, in its very shape and form. I am very familiar with the argument you gave 1/2

[EmmersonLickspittle @Em_Lickspittle]

@MarkTrewick1 Well, if spell checking then kind of but you were not the same person who wrote it and then read it. It is more like being a vessel that has a unique shape, contour and spout. What passes through vessels is the same but is still shaped and has an imprint. This help understanding?

[EmmersonLickspittle @Em_Lickspittle]

@MarkTrewick1 No, I don't think it is. One has to have some engagement with it to understand the illusionary nature of it, and because it has impacts in how humans chose to act, it is at once also very real. And collectively determined in terms of relationships.

[EmmersonLickspittle @Em_Lickspittle]

@MarkTrewick1 Well, I think there is a material reality there beyond our attempts to know it or even if we were not here, materially speaking, to experience. Here's the kicker, though, they are both existent and nonexistent. Just as we're already dead, we've also lived and forever will.

[EmmersonLickspittle @Em_Lickspittle]

@owenjonesjourno Because the situation is f***ed. Seriously! NO political party or leadership can manage what is unfolding in the world.
