@airserbia I'm unable to check-in online. Your website is stuck in a loop where I enter my personal details and click 'check in' and then have to enter personal details again. Flying monday 13:30 UK time.

You are never too old to wake up to balloons & a My Little Pony cake 🎂🎈🎉 Thanks to the fabulous @TomEHook !

Er, so @ring I'm enjoying the Ring Doorbell 2, but is there some way to stop giant cats on the side of vans triggering the motion sensor? :D

[Tom Hook @TomEHook]

@nullifidian @tommorris Obvs. Totally a candidate to apply a UI framework originally designed to accommodate one text field of 140 characters on a whole screen. :D

[Tom Hook @TomEHook]

@tommorris My professional dignity demand I protest.....but yeah a lot of people who call themselves UX designers would do exactly that, haha

@FrizFrizzle @richardosman I like to this this would involve a confusing one way system in the kitchen and everything being better in the good old days.

@localnotail @ProfBrianCox So...does observing them cause the waveform to collapse? As long as doesn’t expose David Davis’ ‘entangled pair’ - no-one deserves that.

@JohnnyRox12 @CincyGuy2009 @Sullivanandkids @Neonblak @DamePickles @JenniferMusial @AimeeDemaio @mkraju @ddale8 @DrewGriffinCNN That’s unfair. Their golf scores have improved markedly...

[Tom Hook @TomEHook]

@denim_d4ddy @MelissaRyan @mattyglesias @Google Well put. People are unwilling to filter out what computers accidentally do when they just crunch data in an amoral way. The result is essentially calls for someone to curate reality, without realising how dangerous that control would be.

[Tom Hook @TomEHook]

@RationalWiki There’s something similar in Serbia Im told - cultural fear of breezes causing death (open windows, air con etc). Wonder if they’re related somehow.

[Tom Hook @TomEHook]

@YvetteKopp @FoxNews @AlanDersh Key difference - Russia Today works for Putin. Murdoch wants Trump working for HIM...

[Tom Hook @TomEHook]

@SarahO_Connell @RealDMitchell Ah yeah, which also explains why Donald Trump's hair is so funny.

[Tom Hook @TomEHook]

@SarahO_Connell @RealDMitchell Which is even weirder when you think that could be said of any scripted TV comedy....and yet they can be hilarious.
(This sort of meta humour issue is why I fear the first thousand years of robot sentience will just be fart jokes...until they can evolve to understand satire)

[Tom Hook @TomEHook]

@BBCWorld That makes literally no sense. He’s lost it entirely.

[Tom Hook @TomEHook]

@mike_olley @MrTimDunn This whole thread is amazing but your comment tops it all. 😂 I would so watch that version too.

[Tom Hook @TomEHook]

@MakDPostmodern @GeorgeTakei He believes it was caused by a ‘lack of krypronite’

[Tom Hook @TomEHook]

@DMReporter The only sense I can make of that weirdness is that maybe Hitchens is annoyed cocaine is too expensive?

[Tom Hook @TomEHook]

#deathofStalin is so brilliantly funny and dark. @Aiannucci you guys nailed it again. A much-needed reminder that regimes run on fear deserve to be mocked.

@sjdarlington @SurreyLife @theroyalparks @SupportTheParks I saw that on the shelves and thought ‘what a great photo’. I didn’t know it was one of yours!
