@VertigoWarrior @fasc1nate That's a well hung bat.

@Nick_Pettigrew Saw this on BBC New24 about 20 minutes ago. In the same interview he slipped up and said "...in the General Election, next year..."

Next year.

They're going to take it right down to the line. Squatters in Number 10.

@Rainmaker1973 I see your Asch conformity test and raise you the Milgram experiment.

@Mangosingh420 @Rainmaker1973 It broadsided the blue bus, so it's hard to see. It was a blue on blue!

@TrueBelieverOSG @MohitRs73 @PeterZeihan Nope

@Hush_Kit This one's for the Fortnite kids

@MARCHANTK @GaryLineker Also the ocean temperature. The "It's just summer" trolls don't understand that the North Atlantic is experiencing a marine heatwave which is killing sea life. Next time they go to the chippy they might notice how expensive their battered cod has become. Short supply ⬆️ prices.

@RichardJMurphy When your only tool is a hammer, every problem looks like a nail.

@CovertShores Ah, didn't realise that was a payload.

Would it be a realistic option for deep sea recovery of, say, missing submersibles? 👀

[Mike Ranson @ransonwrites]

@CovertShores What are the advantages? More volume without increasing overall length? Redundancy?

[Mike Ranson @ransonwrites]

@nicholadrummond Can't read that. Feel like I'm having a stroke.

@TonyJuniper @BBCNews Warm is good weather but hot is bad weather, just like storms and freezing and droughts. We misuse the word 'hot'. Ask anyone who has to live and work in +30° temperatures, like in Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Australia, Central and Eastern Africa... they'd love it just to be 'warm'

[Mike Ranson @ransonwrites]

@ptaipale @sarahrainsford Indeed. We don't need to give this the oxygen of publicity, because that's what Putin is hoping the West will do: he wants Europe to feel fear at the idea, and for a fearful public to demand its politicians step back from supporting Ukraine.
Won't work, but that's his idea.

@Hush_Kit Is it a runner?

@thinkdefence @rude_mechanic @JakOSpades @shashj @CrumbMontgomery Not much different to Skinner's pigeon guided anti ship missiles, in that respect, and we wouldn't consider them autonomous.

@harry_lye Clickbait. Intentionally reporting wrong information generates larger numbers of views/clicks/comments but algorithms don't distinguish between criticism and praise, so you still get boosted. Eg, you can find videos talking about T45 and showing pictures of Horizon: same reason.

@combat_boot @bealejonathan The only "cohering" I ever did involved duct tape or vaseline. Sometimes both at the same time.

"One of my biggest bugbears is people getting honeybees to help pollinators generally," she said.

"It's the equivalent of saying 'we need to save wild birds, so let's get some chickens'.

"Honeybees are a domesticated species".
