Etymology of the day is 'on tenterhooks' (not 'tenderhooks'): tenters, once a common sight, are wooden frames on which freshly milled cloth is stretched so that it dries without shrinking. To be on tenterhooks is to be as tense and taut as the cloth itself.

Get Daft Punk to make a comeback for the finale then they fly up the Eiffel Tower and one of them takes their helmet off and it’s Celine Dion and the other one takes their helmet off and it’s also Celine Dion

Beautiful alternative to the periodic table created in 1975 by James Franklin Hyde.

Are you a Victorian ghost? Embarrassed by your faded vestments?

Why not check out the hot new range at H&M?

15. KISS Principle:
The design of everything is gradually being stripped down, because simple is easy & safe; the less there is, the less there is to offend or justify. But such rampant minimalism comes at a cost; our cultures are losing their uniqueness and identity.

[Gurwinder @G_S_Bhogal]

14. Rothbard’s Law:
If a talent comes naturally to someone, they assume it’s nothing special, and instead try to improve at what seems difficult to them. As a result, people often specialize in things they're bad at.

[Gurwinder @G_S_Bhogal]

13. Benford's Law of Controversy:
We tend to fill gaps in information with emotion. We fear what we don’t understand, love what we naively romanticize, etc. As such, the things that fire people up most are usually the things they understand least.

[Gurwinder @G_S_Bhogal]

7. Golden Mean:
Good character is not about maximizing virtues but moderating them: to be sensitive without being fragile, confident without being cocky, steadfast without being stubborn, driven without being reckless, focused without being obsessed.

[Gurwinder @G_S_Bhogal]

6. Dartmouth Scar:
In 1991, psychologist Robert Kleck pretended to paint a scar on people's faces, then sent them into job interviews. They reported discrimination due to the scar—even though they had no scar.

Few things victimize us more than the belief that we’re a victim.

[Gurwinder @G_S_Bhogal]

4. Viewpoint Flattening:
From one angle, the shape is a circle. From another, it’s a square. People on either side argue over the true shape, each convinced that the other is wrong, because social media rewards us for arguing in 2D about 3D issues.

Left: how humans see starlings.
Right: how starlings may see each other - with bolder markings and more colour.

The amazing world of UV vision, seen through the eyes of…. birds.

@garrettmullan Laughing and crying. What more can you ask for?

[Gareth Noble @GarNob]

That final 30 seconds of the @RTELateLateShow show just how good Patrick Kielty is. Reflects the horror of what’s happening in the Middle East and the hope that peace is always possible.

@SuperGr04651812 @ryano @logical_conor Think the original point here was about a specific tax for a specific cohort being branded in the name of "solidarity", when in fact all of us who obey laws and pay taxes and behave as good citizens act in solidarity with one another. Together, not divided.
