It’s just dismaying to see our education sector being crushed like this, to satisfy xenophobic immigration policy that doesn’t make sense even on its own terms.

Went to do a job in Baildon this morning, and turned into one truly emotional roller coaster

Pulls up, bloke about 70 greets us, I look and think I recognise you, he speaks and I know the voice, but just can't place it at all

He wants observatory he is building waterproofed 1/?

PROOF of the Birthday Paradox

The probability that all 23 individuals have different birthdays is:
P_diff = (365/365)*(364/365)*(363/365)*...*(343/365)

Thus the probability that at least 2 of them share a birthday is:
P_shared = 1 - P_diff ≈ 0.5

During the cold, dry Siberian winter, one can occasionally spot stones perched on impossibly thin pedestals of ice ❄️

This week's paper explains the formation of these mysterious Zen stones: https://t.co/IwCwERxAlR

@Simpsons_tweets Bart Sells his Soul purely on the basis of 'wait a minute..... this sounds like rock and / or roll!'

Even though I know this is basically an old person thing, the term Slaw instead of Coleslaw is a fucking disgrace.

⚠️Far right hate speech from MP's
⚠️A budget for the 1%
⚠️The biggest decline in living standards since ww2

13 years of Tory chaos

There's a phenomenon I actually see extremely commonly when literature is used to teach history to middle school and high school students. Let's call it "pajamafication."

[Nathaniel Tapley @Natt]

Probably wise of the police to just leave them to it until they do something really dangerous like holding a candlelight vigil for a woman murdered by a police officer.

@dailysimpsons @markk1914 @SkydMarxx @thatbilloakley @Joshstrangehill @joecip In my top 5 episodes ever - absolute classic in every way @dkoblintz read the thread x

Let’s not pretend this is a good day for women. I hope my neighbour Nazanin, in court alone without British Embassy support, will be treated more gently and respectfully by the Iranian authorities than the mourners at Clapham Common were treated by ours.
Happy mothers’ day. 💐

It took just under 6 years and 13,000 workers to build the Channel Tunnel. The total cost came at an eye-watering £4.65 billion which would be the equivalent of £12 billion in today's money.

Track & Trace cost taxpayers 3 times that number.

Let that sink in.

If there are schools in East Sussex who have been offered laptops directly from donors that they can't deal with, @TechResort will be happy to deal with them for you if you can deliver to Eastbourne.

Why y’all keep asking where the police at? Y’all ask where Miley’s at when Hannah’s on stage?

[Prof. Devi Sridhar @devisridhar]

Creation of complex rules (with # of people, households, exceptions) varying by tiers has created a perverse system where people look for loopholes. Instead, focus on why this virus is risky, what we can all do to avoid getting it & passing it on & the underlying science.
