@bo66ie29 None of the men and boys have hats on. I wonder when that stopped being typical

@ChurchTimes What's your policy on naming people who have changed their names? I your article you say "Mr Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon" but in your articles mentioning Zack Polanski there is no such clarification. That doesn't seem consistent.

@tre_anne @HenMazzig Useful graphic, ta

@whittaker616 @RatzTale1970 @jk_rowling @damekatydenise_ That's the song that popped into my head too — classic 🎶

@EVKontorovich I don't understand this post. In the UK the form of socialism which I think you are referring to has become allergic to any display of nationalism

[Tim Regan @dumbledad]

@faderP291097 @EVKontorovich It's a British term for silly people

I think I just heard the first time a #hexadecimal number was read out during the morning news on @BBCRadio4 #17B9D1

@OsherFeldman @boswelltoday That snippet of @KemiBadenoch's article really struck a chord with me. I live in a beautiful Essex village and yet it's hard to avoid such dinner party conversations. I lack Kemi's poise too, so it really does my head in.

@HausdorffMedia @lewis_goodall @LBC Thanks, very useful. One correction, it's paragraph 81b not 81a

[Tim Regan @dumbledad]

@Telegraph Or, as my phone screen relayed the story…

[Tim Regan @dumbledad]

Great article in @seenunseenmag and strange synchronicity — our local vicar gave an excellent lent talk about the Bach St John Passion and used the exact same phrase @profntwright uses, that Bach asks "And what about you? Where are you in this story?"

@QuakerSocialist in https://t.co/vxp31yvdAr you mention that "The second Quaker MP in Plt was John Bright (1843)". I don't think that's true because William Aldam converted to Anglicanism after taking his seat in Parliament in 1841. No?

@pickover Fabulous visualization. What dictates the angular velocity in each circle?

[Tim Regan @dumbledad]

@Sheril_ Does that feel correct — that secretaries are towards the least adaptable?

[Tim Regan @dumbledad]

@jan_murray "it’s also the hardest job I’ve ever done" did you catch @Louise_m_perry & @ElenaBridgers podcast on that very point? It might be paywalled (sorry) but if you can it is worth a listen https://t.co/cPE3AYOu70 or https://t.co/wdPiPpCSJj

@JusBrierley How exciting. I'll have a think. I spent a wonderful day with him once, scroll to the bottom pic for evidence: https://t.co/RcFx7WzVCG

[Tim Regan @dumbledad]

@JusBrierley He looks fabulous. My (grown up) family's just listening to the new audio version of PoA so Sirius is about to make an entrance!

@Glinner . @emilymbender & @timnitGebru wrote (with others) On the Dangers of Stochastic Parrots: Can Language Models Be Too Big? 🦜, though sadly they are no longer of this parish

@CarlBovisNature My wife loves sitting at the window watching Mr & Mrs Pigeon at work in our garden

[Tim Regan @dumbledad]

This'll be a fantastic concert. I'm listening to a playlist of the programme to get myself in the mood https://t.co/HVj4XYqOWq
