Likes train travel programmes, so far-right, apparently.

@Jenny_1884 @Keir_Starmer He's an accidental PM.

He took over to 'fix' the Labour party after the Corbin period, not really expected to win an election, but the Tories at that time were so uninspiring that they handed it to him on a plate.

@PositivFuturist Notable for being completely unfalsifiable, and so indistinguishable from mythology/BS.

@ClimateWarrior7 Strangers are always the best child carers.

@Rodrigo00852376 @PhysInHistory His work is certainly a cornerstone of modern scientific method. Perhaps the 'science crowd' and 'philosophy crowd' have different influence priorities, although there is noticeable overlap.

@PhysInHistory I'm a laggard, I've only managed 5!

@MilitaryCooI "WHAAAAT?"

@JohnAtGeorgia @RDPHistory I don't doubt he reckoned it was going nowhere, but he was given the job and he had to do it.

@militaryhistori @AndrewRawson11 What a trauma watching this as a child, but the counselling is helping!

@Donnymack666 @nickfshort In one episode, Abby wondered what Ducky looked like when he was younger. Gibbs nonchalantly replied, "Illya Kuryakin"!

[Jabble Wok @Jabblewox]

@nickfshort My UNCLE does!

@FarLife1 When one happens, be elsewhere!

@hmyoung40 @militaryhistori Perhaps similarly, he was younger than Edward Judd, his co-star in First Men on the Moon.

[Jabble Wok @Jabblewox]

@militaryhistori And who better to demonstrate that than the inimitable Lionel Jeffries!

@LeoBorealis @Tom_Rowsell Not really, as linguistic evolution can be tracked independently of location. However the available clues are usually linked to specific locations, so it allows us to tie the two together.

[Jabble Wok @Jabblewox]

@StpdMcStupidson @Tom_Rowsell @KarlRadl Also, because there are fewer/no written clues further back in time, extrapolation is used based on an understanding of linguistic drift. e.g. we have a certain understanding of a hypothetical proto-Indo European.

[Jabble Wok @Jabblewox]

@StpdMcStupidson @Tom_Rowsell @KarlRadl Grouped by 'evolutionary' linguistic stages, with an attempt to correlate to time/location. However that correlation can be difficult as clues sparse. Often useful to regard the stages as 'snapshots' to help determine branching, e.g. common origins of modern/historic languages.

Happy Easter, bunnies!

@lefineder Looks like pseudo-cash before cash where everything had a price in terms of 'standardised' bread/beer. Though I wonder how that was applied to everyday shopping, as perishable cash is of limited use.

@rlimitexceeded @claire88424030 What an idiot. Everyone knows that whales are flightless birds.
