No umbrellas in the arenas but unlimited chairs and carts? Dampens the atmosphere, compromises escape routes... and even pisses Paul Heaton off, too! #BarclaycardxLatitude #Latitude

Hey @LatitudeFest why so many carts? Great festival but one steel-framed juggernaut just took my legs out from under & left me bleeding! #BarclaycardxLatitude

An excellent example of how science reporting can be twisted to suit an agenda from this very week

This Mail article 'Number of kids hospitalised by vaping QUADRUPLES' in a year is very... alarming?

Thing is, it's not wrong. Technically. But there are some... caveats

Wow. Boris Johnson really is just Trump with a higher reading age, isn't he?

ooops

[The i Paper @theipaper]

Rishi Sunak claimed that the asylum backlog is 50% DOWN compared to when Labour were in power.

It's actually 777% UP, according to the UK Statistics Authority

Things that aged poorly

[Dean Burnett (@drdeanburnett everywhere) @drdeanburnett]

Psychological studies have revealed that confident people are more readily believed than hesitant, uncertain ones

But if the confident person is then revealed to have lied, they're perceived as far *less* trustworthy than unconfident people

Not sure what made me think of that

I see we're doing sneak attacks with our precipitation now, Cambridge, that's cool

@thebrainofchris Honestly knowing Sue Perkins did the AD for D&D The Movie makes it fat more likely I'll watch...

@twl_corinthian @tomwhoscontrary Was about to say "no, the glass is damaged from the OUTSIDE!" like some ridiculous children's detective BUT OF COURSE that's not reliable logic here - that thing's a damn CHRONOVORE, isn't it? Breaking out THEN going back to break the glass to enable its own escape? V. PLAUSIBLE!

Michelle Yeoh being the "first actress who identifies as Asian" is not about transracialism or wokeness.

It's about Merle Oberon being the first Asian actress to be nominated for Best Actress. She hid her mixed heritage because she knew she would be discriminated against.

I know we don't, technically, have "not guilty" verdicts, but if police can't make a case stand up in court when they're accusing someone of a slow-motion crime recorded from multiple angles by multiple witnesses - that's pretty damn close.

[Chris! Got! Home! @QuiteLikeChris]

Wow. What a depressing tale. And the replies to this tweet seem to mostly be folk enthusiastically misunderstanding the OP to get angry at the (very literally) innocent pedestrian and defend the actions of the police...

[Charles Arthur @charlesarthur]

“How I got arrested for being a pedestrian” - this is truly Kafkaesque. What’s going on in Norfolk police? https://t.co/awfgMONNNQ

"Having forced the state broadcaster to remove the dissident presenter, senior regime figures are now calling for official investigations in an escalation likely to lead to further sanctions and restrictions on free speech by high-profile personalities in this troubled Kingdom."

[Marina Purkiss @MarinaPurkiss]

Not only do they want to silence him…

Now 36 Tory MPs are demanding a “full investigation” into his comments and a “full apology”

Get in the bin, you utterly pathetic little snowflakes.

[Robert Peston @Peston]

Gary Lineker was pulled off air by the BBC because he refused to issue a public apology for his tweets criticising the government’s Illegal Migration Bill, according to sources close to him. Lineker rejects the idea he breached social media guidelines, which is what…

[Chris! Got! Home! @QuiteLikeChris]

OK, but - and hear me out, please - what if "it's bad to be even a little bit like a Nazi and we should call it out when we see it" is a sincerely held philosophical belief...?
