Hi @PizzaExpress it’s been a while 😀 Olivia has a request, please can you pop the Bianca Pasta on the adult menu? She’s 13 now (and has moved on from the Piccolo menu) and is having a renaissance moment and fancies a pasta!

There are solos, and then there are the ones that stopped time on stage.

A thread🧵- for some of the best guitar solos of all times.

1. Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb, Pulse version in 1994 is unmatched.

@bbctms what’s started as a morning of toil for Ben Stokes and England has turned in to what could be called a good mornings work. Loving the insights from Mark Wood, I can wait for the Mark Wood / Aggers team up!

The Hunt for Red October is 35 years old today.
This Tom Clancy adaptation not only features one of the best ensemble casts of the 90s, headed by Sean Connery and Alec Baldwin, it also launched a franchise that, so far, has made almost $1 billion. This movie sailed into history.

Bugging the conversations of German airmen at Trent Park during WW2 meant British Intelligence discovered that Luftwaffe pilots truly admired the Spitfire.

The Germans also unknowingly leaked critical information about the Heinkel He 177 Greif bomber.

Here's the proof:

Moonlighting (1985 - '89) - A MEGA THREAD
Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd's 80s show was an exploration in Metafiction, referencing themselves as TV characters who only exist within the confounds of the show. They didn't break the rules, they shattered them.

Happy Birthday, Gromit
Wallace & Gromit are national treasures. This sequence from The Wrong Trousers (1993) is better than most multi-million dollar action movies, which is probably why it won an Oscar. Feathers McGraw is still terrifying. No-one's ever blinked with such menace.

Leslie Nielsen was born OTD in 1926.
Leslie began his career as a serious actor, but a phone call from the producers of Airplane! (1980) changed all that and transformed him into 'the Laurence Olivier of spoofs'. Frank Drebin from The Naked Gun and Police Squad was a gift.

Happy 70th Birthday Kevin Costner.
The Untouchables (1987) is a stone cold classic. This Battleship Potemkin inspired stair sequence is one of the greatest scenes ever committed to film. Incredibly, it's just one of many stunning moments in one of the best movies ever made.

Excited to see @CISAgov release the Microsoft Expanded Cloud Log Implementation Playbook to go along with our expanded default logging in Microsoft 365.

This 60-page playbook is designed to help cyber teams operationalize the new default logging in M365, and includes detailed audit record information, example hunting queries and much more.

I was fortunate enough to help contribute to the guide. There is a heap of valuable information in here, so make sure to check it out - https://t.co/dZ9EE0H36W

My photo kissing a nuclear waste cask went viral and people had… opinions about it.

There was outrage, with many claiming it was dangerous and that I was hurting my future children (lol).

Here’s why kissing a nuclear waste cask is actually fine🧵
