@BoomBoxBro_ 🤣🤣🤣 As Disney awaited the hurricane to hit people piled in the parks to get small queues - yet slinky dog dash was still 75 minutes long!!!

@hind_wood @janb2006_jan @WPBF_BROOKE @NWSMiami Climate change intensifies, the intensity and frequency of extreme weather—often resulting in disasters—is increasing. According to the IPCC's most recent report on climate adaptation, disasters fueled by the climate crisis are already worse than scientists originally predicted.

@hind_wood @janb2006_jan @WPBF_BROOKE @NWSMiami This shows an ignorance of the variables that cause extreme weather events.

@Lady29Boston @janb2006_jan @WPBF_BROOKE @NWSMiami Indeed not - but I suggest you look at the increase in them over time.

@Joelarcanjo @272BookFaith That is exactly what I thought! Publishers claim they are trying to be inclusive of all kids yet are ignoring 50% of the population - just because they make them less money as they buy less books/have less bought for them!!

@Louiestowell @Joelarcanjo I have so far written 6 books that I would market at that age group (I refuse to say tween - I think that's what killed them) all of these books placed in competitions. Every single agent told me to age them up or down for the market. They don't want them. But kids do!!!!!

@Spookyspoon16 @MitchMitcheson @rahhead01 @NoContextBrits The person above is wrong. She is Queen consort and will remain so. The only person who is Queen in their own right is someone who is Queen by blood. Camilla is referred to as Queen out of courtesy and (I imagine, convenience as the title Queen consort is unwieldy).

@Mazerati_nhingd @Naijella86 @gunsnrosesgirl3 This is untrue mother alligators protect their young from predators. They carry them gently in their mouths etc. They may stay in the nest for up to a year before dispersal. However, quite agree - don't trust a reptile.

@AsmilaJ @sarahradz_ Naw sorry - that's her being judgey - substitute any other behaviour and you'll see what I mean - I don't let X drink coke, but I've bought a bib for when your child spills hers.. my child doesn't eat cake - here's a toothbrush for yours = 'I am good mom - you make poor choices.'

@OrganaWhite @maggiek65 @SkyNews Sounds like a non-story to me. Though other children being evicted the night before their exams is relevant...

@Moggett3 @boetia_norico @LuciusVoltaic @SketchesbyBoze ? It isn't? I was agreeing son of fortune teller relevant but higher up threads were being cross as Heathcliff hadn't been cast as black which was bewildering to me. But as I say long time since I read it. The point is Heathcliff experienced exclusion.

@timewrinkles Margot Robbie could totally pull that off - have you not seen her back catalogue 'cos like Harley totally not weird???

@flowereye097 @SussexHenryVIII @CarmenGranddau1 Do people really not understand that the royal protection is paid for by the government and the government will not fund the protection of someone who doesn't do it's bidding? Their responsibility is to the people. If royals don't play ball they are not funded. Simple as.

Can anyone recommend a reusable coffee cup that doesn't leech chemicals but also doesn't keep your drink scalding hot? All the healthy ones I've tried keep my drink too hot to drink!

@mymadness @GavinSauer @Kate_Kelly_Esq I believe Freud thought people who are never depressed are self-delusional. Don't quite agree but take his point. If you give a pill for life stressors what do you when the next stressor comes along? People need support & active ways to build resilience, inc. societal change.
