@HPinder500 @ralph_palmer @GarethDennis Since living in the Italian alps I’ve seen very few SUVs. Clearly they aren’t really necessary for anything: their entire existence as a class of car is a bad joke.

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes! 🤯 Even for me as a nest researcher, these are the craziest bird nests I've ever seen. Today my paper came out on this rebellious behaviour. And it's like telling a joke...

A thread. 🧵

'Gas' is a loanword from Dutch, in which the word first appears as a scientific concept in the 17th century.

It's thought to derive from Ancient Greek kháos (hence 'chaos'), with Dutch approximating the initial 'kh'-sound of the Greek with the fricative sound of Dutch G.

The butterfly bush is aptly named. Though it is apparently also the moth, beetle, bee, etc. bush

@simongerman600 @DalrympleWill Belgium is the real standout here and helps explain some of the other high figures.
If you consider that over 20% of a country can think their rabidly exploitative empire was positive then you can safely conclude that many of the other surveyed haven’t really thought about this.

@AndrewBrunskill @hannahrosewoods I think it may be the opposite.

Having a ‘classical’ education used to be a wealth signifier: having well educated poor people confuses the Telegraph’s writers.

By ensuring only Etonians can drop the appropriate Latin tag the Ancien Régime is restored.

@ScienceMagazine @NewsfromScience “the U.S. is ‘undermapped’ compared with most developed countries, including Australia, Canada, and even Ireland”

You might find America at an embarrassing point to “even Ireland” not just in mapping.

@Nameless_Weevil @krady I’m angry that I even have to spend time thinking about the article.
If it was in the WSJ it would be an obvious obnoxious piece of drivel. For it to be on RTÉ is unforgivable.

[Tim Hawkins @illmade]

Is this a joke ⁦@rtenews⁩?
You have a duty to your readers that this article clearly ignores.

You are shilling for a form of investment that is extremely dubious, environmentally, ethically, monetarily.
Remove the article. https://t.co/hZKgmiNvjI
