@Arfness Agreed.

[Simone Haysom @simonehaysom]

@Arfness I’m not defending the belief - I think the concerns about surveillance are anachronistic and the benefits of central registries for administration outweigh the risk - I’m just saying there is a cultural resistance to it, not just right wing scheming

I wrote about Africa's Cinderella pachyderm, the Common Hippopotamus, and why listing it under the U.S. Endangered Species Act might not solve its problems:

@joshbudlender It is, again, not so easy - the ICC did investigate the US for war crimes in Afghanistan. In retaliation Trump sanctioned the then lead prosecutor - eg the same treatment they give terrorists and drug kingpins. & Biden didn’t take her off that list *that* quickly.

@AdamWelz Awful

@the_next_corner I wonder this all the time: Is SA experiencing an impressively fast *unintentional* decarbonisation ? @nickhedley any guess?

@kimondegreef "it is troubling that an inmate serving a life sentence ... was able to run such an elaborate business from behind bars. It is astounding that a convicted violent sex offender should have free access to the internet. It is weird that he had access to a suit."

American urban myth: When the soul leaves the body, it loses 21 grams of weight

DCS urban myth: When the soul leaves the body, it loses 30cm of height.

[Simone Haysom @simonehaysom]

To be fair to DCS, Bester was obviously a criminal mastermind. The only clues to his escape - despite the dead, burnt body in his cell - were:
- the body was 30cm shorter than Bester
- the mother’s dna didn’t match
- the coroner determined the man was dead when he was set alight

Unfortunately, he makes some valid points: "Iseman delights in the controversy his project has stirred up. He sees it as a way to garner attention for his views: that the “responsible adults” don’t have the climate situation under control..."

This @TIME feature on Make Sunset's grimcrack geoengineering prank of a (VC-funded) start-up has some choice anecdotes https://t.co/iPEbYzpWiT

A tidbit for the folks in 🇬🇧 : "Iseman, who is an American, spends some of his time in London living on a houseboat, which doesn’t have a toilet, so Iseman buries the waste in public parks."
