Shutting down my account for at least a while. After today, don't think there's any need to spell out the reasons - been a while coming.

In 1945, Finland was poor and war-torn.

They owed 6% of their GDP to the Soviets—annually.

Today, it consistently ranks as the world's happiest country.

Meanwhile, America isn't even in the top 20.

Here's how Finland rebuilt from nothing:

@Haggis_UK According to https://t.co/8ssmNL0bpp, the number of schools in the UK has declined from 32,750 in 2010/11, to 32,172 schools in 2022/23. Not sure if that value is correct.

A thing of beauty…

This is Jonathan Miller taking on Enoch Powell

This is how you expose people like Suella Braverman for the race-baiting, dog-whistling charlatans that they are.

@sainsburys We had a 6:30-7:30am delivery slot, no sign of our food, and my wife keeps getting hung up on by your customer services line. We've had no communication of a problem, and there's nothing on your website. What on earth is going on?

In memory of Andre Braugher and his contribution to @brooklyn99, here are 50 of the best Raymond Holt quotes that prove he will always be the best police captain/genius 🤍

[Prof. Feynman @ProfFeynman]

Science:

If you don't make mistakes, you're doing it wrong.

If you don't correct those mistakes, you're doing it really wrong.

If you can't accept that you're mistaken, you're not doing it at all.

Ok five years ago I sent out a load of micro tips for new teachers getting ready for September.

By popular demand (literally nobody) here they are again!

[Secret Headteacher @secretHT1]

Teaching. One of the only jobs where being off work sick is more work than going in.

@SouthernWater We're on your priority services register, and still no delivery - like 3/4 of those in our village. Your focus on profits rather than service are shameful.

We didn't have parties to "boost morale"
We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death
We kept going
We had to
We kept on
So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson
You make me sick.

@bbcpress @guardian I've supported the @BBC for most of my life, but you lost the impartiality you claim to uphold sone time ago. I simply don't believe you anymore.

@sxpmaths GPE is a function of only position in the Earth's gravitational field, gravitational field strength, and mass. If it was a strong enough air resistance to remove mass (sounds pretty painful), it would affect GPE... 😂

The statement released yesterday was the last straw. I was an early access supporter, but I'm done. Probably moving to SWADE or Pathfinder 2e. You've angered a mild-mannered Englishman, @Wizards_DnD. Consider my cancellation form my stern letter. #OpenDnD #DnDBegone
