DEFINE: “to strangle the Bogeye”
A shearing handpiece looks very similar to a Bogeye lizard.
Mugs always hold it too tight
Hence: Bogeyestrangler=mug shearer

It has dawned on me recently that Twitter is resplendent within users going to extraordinary efforts to help disseminate useful information. At a minimum, their efforts deserve to be acknowledged.

@brivael The polymath Barry Jones, widely held as “the smartest Australian alive“ a few decades ago,would often counter/dismiss that statement in interviews by stating that a builder friend was the smartest person he personally knew in his own life, let alone the nation.

[Bogeyestrangler @Bogeyestrangler]

@brivael thank you so much for this. Very clarifying.

@salltweets Woolworths sit-in 1963 in Jackson, Miss. I wonder how many years past before the members of the enthusiastic crowd would be asking you to “deny your lying eyes.”

[Bogeyestrangler @Bogeyestrangler]

@salltweets The most interesting part of the photo from the Woolworths sit-in from 1963 in Jackson Miss. is how the crowd was so sure they were on the “right side of history “ that they happily showed their faces. Fast forward a decade………..

@elonmusk If Versailles was such a great idea, maybe we should spend today’s equivalent on the new Whitehouse ballroom.

Grok suggests the cost equivalent would be a miserly 140 billion and be close to 2kms long

I am sure the workers of today would be just as pleased as they were then

@Nikos_17 In Australia…The (so-called) far-right party, One Nation, began in the late 90s by adopting the pre-90s pro-working class platform of the major left-wing party. The later having jettisoned these in the 90s in favour of the burgeoning white collar middle class.

Great article

@profnfenton @RupertLowe10 Is your GBD position possibly an example of

“letting perfection be the enemy of the good?”

I always thought of (maybe mistakenly) the GBD as a “Hail Mary” counter to the SAGE (lockdowns)… maybe not perfect but a step in the right direction..

PS: love your work.

@craigkellyAFEE Once stopped car to help a mother &16 yr old in a massive fight with out-of-control powerful father [on way to be committed]. At one point, whilst we had him pinned he managed to bite the son’s calf….son punched his own father in temple area >100 times to get him to stop.

@WEschenbach @jamestalarico How how greedy was that Steve Jobs fellow

Worth 1 billion at cancer diagnosis and 9 billion at death..

He essentially got nothing but a life of toil, and all we got were Apple products

How greedy!!

@MichaelAArouet Artificial turf?
If so it has a pile direction.

@ianmiles Gold reserves are 200,000 tonnes
Gold in seawater = 20 million tonnes
With that gold we can pay for your iron etc mining project

Just need someone to volunteer to sieve the seawater.

I have a colander if you want to borrow it

@StefanMolyneux Surely lack of money is not the issue. Government spending around the world each year is 35 trillion, climate change spending hit 2 trillion in 2024. Even Gates now sees this as a folly.

@alex_avoigt @basilthegreat The vast majority of counties in the US have very low murder rates. Only 150-250 out of 3000 have higher rates than London.

I imagine even in those 150-250, if you compared like for like demographics, US figures would be even better. Milton Friedman quote is good analogy

@elonmusk And yet!?

@mckim11235 @DrCatharineY More power to her. Sounds very worthy and noble goal, and should be judged on merits.
