Very cool animated #map shows how #religion spread around the world. A lot of #history displayed in under 3 minutes. No need to turn on sound. Link to video: https://t.co/pTdubzFf1B

The Easter Bunny is a ridiculous myth that completely detracts from the factual reality of the Son of God rising from the dead.

Wow. "37 out of the 53 member countries of the Commonwealth criminalise same-sex relations."

"At least nine of these 37 countries have a maximum sentence of life imprisonment for same-sex acts"

"This makes a mockery of Commonwealth values and the Commonwealth Charter 2013." https://t.co/MVrDTNbiGk

Guys, it was just a scuffle. A scuffle, do you hear? A scuffle. They scuffled. There was scuffling. Because if you say "scuffle" often enough it starts sounding meaningless and stops sounding like a politician with anger issues grabbing the throat of a journalist.

Exactly. Ive been saying for 5 yrs that all of this comes down to advertising business model. When the noise about Cambridge Analytica dies down, I hope we'll be ready for an honest conversation about dismantling the coupling btwn weaponized manipulation of attn/belief & profit. https://t.co/QqHqaxhUKW

Advertising is not coercive; people are smarter than that 5/8

Hey Twitter I'm on a mission:

The woman in this photo was an attendee at a 1971 International Conference on Biology of Whales.

She is the only woman, & the only one captioned "not identified" in the article I found the photo in. All the men are named.

Can you help me know her?

[Stephan Heunis @jsheunis]

@JacquesR “because from what I have seen they do need help from a civilised country like ours”. Wow.
