Science-lover equally obsessed with astronomy and aardvarks. Yes, those are my daughters, but also, I have a shotgun, a shovel and a good alibi.

Wow! This is awesome and important research.

Not. A. Partisan. Issue.

@misterbumface Eminently sensible. Why aren’t more people saying this in the political sphere?

[Philip Calcott @calcott_philip]

@misterbumface Ah, Somewhat Married. Yeah I’ve been there as well. That dog house is freezing this time of year.

[Philip Calcott @calcott_philip]

@jtLOL Actually no. I just listened to your audio and you basically say Obama was very like Trump in his policies - just less polished. You want some new politics that is neither Obama nor Trump. Fine - but don’t then lie about what you say.

@FondOfBeetles Did you ever see the cover article for Time a while back? It was called “the truth about womens bodies” - claimed women were just as fast etc as men - and might soon overtake them for long distance events. It achieved this by simply lying about the numbers. And was published. 🤭

@seanmcarroll A great pod - deep, fascinating and insightful. And all in very good humour. Thanks so much guys.

@skjask @KafiMoch @AhmadMatar21 Worth noting that Israel was the only player in the region that voted for a two state solution back in 1948 - all the Arab states wanted the land in question to become part of Syria - no state for the as-yet-to-be-invented Palestinian nation.

An island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island in the ocean. This is apparently called a third-order island. It's the Taal Volcano in the Philippines.

Alsomitra macrocarpa has seeds which use paper-thin wings to disperse like giant gliders. The seeds, which are produced by a football-sized pod, can glide hundreds of metres across the forest https://t.co/V74QJ84UIi [full video: https://t.co/0cwEY0BDE4

@gchand180 @Kaizen__8 @SwipeWright Have a look at this video : https://t.co/gNhLChsZV3 You will see the answer : witchcraft.

@skjask @QSAK22 @BlueWhiteRights And from whom? The Ottoman Empire ( that no longer exists )? The Brits? The UN? No Palestinian state has ever existed, so they can’t have stolen it from such a non-entity.

Take a close look at this picture.
The front window of this Israeli home was shattered by explosives attached to balloons that were launched from Gaza. Terrorists in Gaza have been launching balloons like these for almost a year.

RT if you want to see an end to terror.

[Philip Calcott @calcott_philip]

@skjask Yep. If even a nice cup of tea won’t fix it then something is seriously wrong.

[Philip Calcott @calcott_philip]

@Kaizen__8 @SwipeWright Guilty as charged. Bring the handcuffs.

[Philip Calcott @calcott_philip]

@Kaizen__8 @SwipeWright I long ago choose to escape the violence of maths. I think the results has been a success overall. Minor inconveniences such as constantly running out of fuel on the motorway, and purchasing random quantities of groceries, are a small price to pay for the freedom I now enjoy.

[Philip Calcott @calcott_philip]

@SarahTheHaider Well, it’s worth noting that those economic basket cases of Norway and Switzerland still have a wealth tax, and also that - as the article you link to shows - Warren’s tax proposal is designed to learn from the mistakes made in Europe.

[Philip Calcott @calcott_philip]

@skjask Lovely summary. You forgot to add that despite the constant assaults on your very existence Israel continues to totally punch above its weight globally in an amazing array of arenas. Including, but not limited to : software, biotech, agriculture, desalination, defense tech ......
