Not sure I realized the extent to which the share of young people who go to college has stopped growing over the past 10 years.

@nhsfife hiya, can you please tell me why people in Glasgow under 30 are getting vaccination appts while the people in Fife are only just getting 60+ done?? The rollout is supposed to be prioritised on age/health conditions, not region!

@neiltyson This social hijacking was predicted years ago. We are cognitively overloaded in an attention economy that profits from our distraction.

Seems to me, if you can get the citizens of a Democracy to no longer agree on what is objectively true in the world, then you have conquered them with all the strength of an invading army.

@Tinder your app won't let me report or unmatch a guy so I've had to delete the app. Now that creep is out there. How can I let you know about him if your app doesn't work?

[Mark Madsen (find me on b-sky) @markmadsen]

When people say AI has “learned x” what they usually mean is that a deep learning model has learned a dataset well enough to find the pattern you asked for. It has no symbolic or logical abstraction. It is kahnemann system 1. It looks smart. It isn’t.

Sometimes I feel extraordinarily grateful for the tech in my life. In the middle of a technical crisis trying to share large video files. Sent by WeTransfer - painless, joyful, successful. Seriously, thank you @WeTransfer for being so helpful. #customerexperience

Claire Enders opens the Media & Telecoms conference, leading a lineup that is diverse (50:50 split) and an audience that is 30% female. Much to celebrate on #InternationalWomensDay for the media & telecoms industries @EndersAnalysis #mediatelco2019

@neiltyson You could do a blended confusion of systems like the UK. We never went the full 9 yards, our culture is too old to change. Beer is sold by the pint in pubs but the litre in stores!

Possibly the best thing my Mother has ever sent me... ever!

@FloxxieWalker Majority were and still are pro-Brexit, and will suffer from loss of city money, wealthy foreigners and reduced spending from likely recession! Silly foot-shooters 👞🔫

“When money is more or less free, investors do not ask for much. Now they want more certainty that they are buying something of value.” ⁦Quantitive tightening means we need companies of substance that can deliver more value than their stock price @FT⁩ https://t.co/tUbMcRbIID

I love Kingdom of Heaven, but just discovered that the real Sibylla - the fierce, cunning, autonomous Queen of Jerusalem - was demoted to political pawn and love interest to allow a totally fictionalised man to be the hero. We NEED more stories of courageous women, not fewer!

[Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan @MayorofLondon]

The British people should get the final say on Brexit. Retweet if you agree.

“Civility is not an end on its own if the practices and beliefs it upholds are unjust.”

Exactly. The myth of civility in politics and change movements needs to be constantly challenged. Change is always fraught. #metoo

I wish we had fewer pundits and more primatologists analysing the state of Trump’s America. Frankly, all I see is monkey business: the screeching affirmations at Trump rallies, the defensive male camaraderie, Kavanaugh’s bared-teeth denials...

@neiltyson It’s called @PolitiFact ! Independent and impartial, they monitor and check all claims made by political actors against their own statements and objectively factual sources in the public domain
