Asset, liability and information: An asset is that which has value.
A liability is that which confers risk.
Information can be either, neither or both. Thoughts?

@fractallogic1 @DrDenaGrayson @JimHarris @thespybrief I think when you’re trying to work out what to tell the public, you’ve got two things which conflict. 1) Truth is valued and people deserve to know so they can protect themselves; 2) People are terrible at protecting themselves when they panic.

@ForPoliticsOnly @HardTruthonLife @DrDenaGrayson @thespybrief It’s an enticing conspiracy theory. I go with Hanlon’s Law on this sort of thing (incompetence beats conspiracy).

@Hobbycraft_CBG here’s the White Queen outfit with the skirt I made for the fancy dress party. Satin, lace and organza from you guys; lovely to work with.

Me and my fellow experts with Commissioner Julian King at the European Commission yesterday. We were providing expert insight into "Strategic Autonomy in the Digital Age", which is a surprisingly riveting subject and thoroughly worth the time.

Many thank…https://t.co/N475d9s0En

@CindyProvin @jongeater @solcates @gcluley @NiloofarHowe @thegrugq @annie_bdc @e_kaspersky @laparisa @mikko It wasn’t so much an inspiration as a deep fondness for the subject which crept up on me unexpectedly. An interesting job spec turned into a whole new and constantly changing landscape of both wonderful and terrible things. Life writ large.

@Janet_LegReg Always fun.

When a man tells me he's looking for a 'real woman' I scurry away because I'm actually three owls in a raincoat AND HE MUSTN'T FIND OUT.

Euphemism central: "Geographically embarrassed": lost

"Ceremonial security": when it looks like security, acts like security, and does nothing whatsoever to protect you.
