"...we should be actively goading more billionaires into spending on irrational, high-variance projects that might actually advance civilization. No one cares about your Loro Piana. If you've built an empire, the best possible use of it is to burn its capital like a torch and light up a corner of the future. Fund the ugly middle. Pay for the iteration loops. Build the cathedrals. This is how we advance civilization..."

You know you’ve got a teenager when you walk in to their bedroom at midday, the curtains are closed, and every single light is on

Being consistent is starting to pay off. PR of +18kg for ten weighted pushups tonight

Holy shit they caught the booster!

@StagecoachGM What is happening with the 806 to Marple today?

[Will Hayward @WillHayCardiff]

Right I have gone through the latest 20mph data for Wales and have made this video.

However, I know many of you prefer a thread so I've done that as well.

Long story short, 20mph seems to be working VERY well and is already paying for itself.

This is not the election for protest votes.

For the first time, we could demote the Tories to third. Winning fewer seats than the LibDems would wipe them out as a political force.

Polls suggest this is within reach, but we need tactical voting to get us over the line.

1/12

@VirginAtlantic Just so you know the live chat on your site is broken. Editing a booking is also non functional. It's quite frustrating being told to use them reguarly while waiting on the phone

@Strava pretty sure this isn’t how Pilates works. Not sure how many watts I’d need to put out to hit 40,900kmph

Just seen the new Decathlon site, what a hot mess.

@CSI_Starbase @OwlGoWho @SpaceXobsessed Ramp it up over time, typically watch YouTube at 1.75/2x. People feel like they're talking really slowly when watching at normal speed.

If you want to blow your mind, watch a video showing what speed blind people listen to screen readers at

Still can’t get over iOS telling me to check my ring daily, what does it know!

@pauldambra How have I lived this long and never heard of spreadable pistachio cream!

[Barney Scott @bmds]

It's mince pie season yet again.

Yet again I'm smashing those fuckers into my face

I've got a problem

The app forces the advert to appear every time you click on a link in to it

[Barney Scott @bmds]

@jet2tweets You've got a nice helpful interstitial advert in your app when it loads up that breaks sharing boarding cards with party members
