@alanyoung3000 Fired up my now dormant X account to come on and see what the Scotsman did for April Fool's. I like it.
Hope you're doing well!

@MichaelMacLeod1 Interesting indeed. Would partly explain this place (X) and how it seems to be a competition for who can come up with the most deranged theories and go viral with them....sorry, I mean it's a marketplace of ideas and the world's town hall 🤨

[Sam Shedden @SamShedden]

Wonder how batshit crazy X can go? I see some of the worst on here (the American influencers) have started turning on their own in a battle to see who can come up with the wildest theories

Watching the #AustralianGP on Channel 10 for the first time...ad breaks are brutal. Right in the middle of the action

@ryan_c414 @JournoStephen The fact they travel doesn't say much. It's if they stay that is the clincher. Many young Australians go to London and use it as a base to travel Europe. Plus loads have very strong family links here.

A powerful message being delivered on the front of the majority of the UK's newspapers today, including The Scotsman - #MakeItFair https://t.co/NFiQCU3Vac

@MichaelMacLeod1 In their defence, who doesn't have falling circulation? I can't speak for them anymore but I imagine they might ask to be judged on digital audience size, digital revenues and digital subs
Not many (if any) editors have targets to up circ. Usually it's to manage decline.

@DavidSHolz It's all relative though. As a dad I compare my life to my parents and maybe at a push my grandparents but certainly nothing further back. Rightly or wrongly we expect progress.

We live in an age of options (especially for women). Our ancestors didn't have options.

Gulf Of Mexico and Gulf of America are shown on Australian Google Maps today.
American users get Gulf Of America
Mexican users get Gulf of Mexico

I was today years old when I learned Hammond in Jurassic Park (played by Richard Attenborough) is Scottish.

Never noticed before. Accent is bad and inconsistent so that's probably why.

Do other people also find all social media mind-numbingly similar?
- "I earned six figures in a week with this process."
- "My workout routine made me ripped in two weeks."
-"Disruptor | Entrepreneur | Digital Nomad"
- "game changing AI 🧵"

@RightWingWatch It's a publicity stunt. You've given him what he wants

[Sam Shedden @SamShedden]

He's like the aunt that shares really basic memes on Facebook

New name for the water that separates England and France

@ImNathanJOwens Seen this tweet about ten times now. It's been done already

[Sam Shedden @SamShedden]

Currently explaining to a section of the Aussie side of the family what a gritter is.
Never crossed my mind that they're just not needed here.

@PoliticsJOE_UK we should listen to her. Here is someone who knows about pushing a country to the brink of economic crisis
