[Daniel Hannan @DanielJHannan]

When he addresses Zelensky, he is brutal and demanding. When he talks to Putin, he is meek and wheedling. Why?

[Mike Martin MP 🔸 @ThreshedThought]

There is a lot going on in the news at the moment, but there is a story that is consistently being underreported: Russia.

Every 3.6 seconds today someone has applied for a Veteran’s ID card 🤯

It’s been a tough ride getting there. But veterans do matter in this country. There’s a lot of them, and I hope their lives are beginning to get better.

I don't know who needs to hear this but in 39 days the sun will set at 7pm.

[Anne Applebaum @anneapplebaum]

I see people are already posting the video, out of context, as if this were happening on a normal day, and not on the day when the parliament will vote for a prime minister who used his first speech to denounce xenophobia and support Ukraine

[Joel Grundy @joelgrundy]

Stunning clarity.

[Ed Conway @EdConwaySky]

It’s officially Total Recall time. Johnnycab, anyone?

[The Associated Press @AP]

San Francisco has launched an autonomous shuttle service — after California regulators approved the expansion of robotaxis despite traffic and safety concerns.

The free shuttle will run daily, making seven stops in a fixed route called "The Loop" around Treasure Island.

This is excellent.

Call me old fashioned, but think 'not an arsehole to people' is quite a good criteria for people in big leadership jobs.

[Joel Grundy @joelgrundy]

😳😬😬 not exactly the ‘whole body’ approach that’s really going to be required in the clash of civilisations…

[Samuel Bickett @SamuelBickett]

.@Microsoft’s Bing Chat AI really doesn’t want to talk about the Uyghurs.

[Joel Grundy @joelgrundy]

And people say Twitter doesn’t add value 👏👏👏

[Meldrew Point @MeldrewPoint]

Happy Meldrew Point Day, Jennifer Lopez! Today she's reached 19,537 days old, matching Richard Wilson's age when episode 1 of One Foot In The Grave was aired on Jan 4, 1990. I don't believe it!
