This is the COOLEST. A Google Earth-type representation of the planet. Every green dot is a radio station. Click any dot to listen in. It’s like cultural teleportation. You could spend hours with this thing… https://t.co/rdEHUUfgvk

1/ A thread with some thoughts on the DFID/FCO merger from someone who lived through and worked on the logistics of the Australian equivalent (@dfat merging with AusAid in 2014).

This is a complex area with lots of greys. I'll try to be maximally fair to pros and cons.

Calls to UK Domestic Abuse Helplines have more than doubled since the lockdown. Victims should know that if they are in danger, they can dial 999, then press 55 and remain silent. Police will know that the caller is in danger and cannot speak. Spread this wide.

Somebody has made a Train Guy soundboard. I don't see how this could possibly help https://t.co/S3ZPkMHx0P

@DmitryOpines Noted. Another Pro-tip for newbies - the main door opens itself when you push the handle down. Otherwise you end up fighting a 1 ton door, and you get some interesting looks.

The Great Syd Mead passed away.

Without him, the visual language of science fiction wouldn't have been the same. Here, his vision for the streets of Blade Runner.

@NewportBus Does the 8.43 30 bus from Cardiff (to Newport) still exist? It has been weeks since it actually showed up?

Interesting thread 👇

[Todd N. Tucker @toddntucker]

I have a piece up @monkeycageblog about how the WTO just blew up the REAL Trump-Russia collusion, which was the effort to keep the trade body from reviewing invocations of national security defenses.
