Ava Louise Lovely was born last week. She had a tough start to life, but nothing the awesome staff at St Michael's hospital couldn't handle. Thanks to you Sarah x2, Amanda x2, Sophie, Jez, Lisa, Julie, Jess, Gus and all the others I forgot. #NHS @UHBristolNHS

@TUIUK The "SALE" 10% off code doesn't appear to work on any of the holidays I've tried it on. Even though it says to enter the code on the search results. Any ideas what is going on? Been trying to book for a couple of days.

@AlexandruCezar1 @unclebobmartin @YouTube Amazing how deep into the cult even presumably intelligent people get. Putin has won the cold war. Would be extremely impressive if it wasn't such a disaster for the world.

@bluedaze65 I've never seen him before, he's absolutely awful 😮 almost seems like he is enjoying this Putin stooge spreading absolutely bullsh*t

The President of the United States is not just a traitor to the people of the USA, but he's a traitor to every ally the USA has ever had.

Wow. This post from a Ukrainian soldier says it all.

[Rep. Don Bacon 🇺🇸✈️🏍️⭐️🎖️ @RepDonBacon]

Putin started this war. Putin committed war crimes. Putin is the dictator who murdered his opponents. The EU nations have contributed more to Ukraine. Zelensky polls over 50%. Ukraine wants to be part of the West, Putin hates the West. I don’t accept George Orwell’s doublethink.

BREAKING: None of this is true.
The father was 18 at the time of the Rwandan genocide, and living in Uganda.
He's also a Tutsi - the victims of the genocide, not its perpetrators.
And Keir Starmer didn't represent him.

Well..

@davidfowl @CaptainSpic @amtrac24 Remember to take some time off from thinking at Christmas too 😄

@amtrac24 @davidfowl I've been using https://t.co/1wvrtgIACJ recently - seems pretty great so far!

@rippo The "mass" were heard literally months ago.

@QuazarSamCoupe Ah, chaos was a good game (at the time at least!)

[Nadia Whittome MP @NadiaWhittomeMP]

Trump's win should act as a warning to the Labour government:

If we fail to address deep-rooted inequality and the cost of living crisis, we risk leaving a void that can be filled by the far-right.

When people feel ignored, they look for alternatives.

Here's a clip from 2016...

[The Secret Barrister 🦋 @BarristerSecret]

I’m not going to retweet Honest Bob Jenrick’s latest desperate grift.

Suffice to say that stoking conspiracy theories about live criminal cases is potentially a contempt of court.

And any politician who saw the summer’s violence and behaves like this is unfit for office.

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

It will be a sad day when we lose contact with the Voyagers - they’ve been communicating with us from deep space since I was 9 years old! I watched them launch, watched them arrive at Jupiter, Saturn and, in the case of Voyager 2, Uranus and Neptune. I remember when Voyager 1 returned the Pale Blue Dot photograph. They feel like old friends and I do occasionally think about them out there in the darkness. Contact with Voyager 1 was lost and then re-established earlier this week using the low power S-band transmitter on the spacecraft that had not been used since 1981! Astonishing. That’s before Duran Duran released the Rio album :-) !!

Genuinely no idea how so many don't think this is entirely reasonable

[Paul Graham @paulg]

If you haven't decided yet who to vote for, here's why I think you should vote for Harris.

[Dan Neidle @DanNeidle]

New polling paints an interesting picture of the public's tax-raising priorities, and a depressing picture of the public's understanding of tax and spending.

I have no easy answers, but I do have some rather alarming charts.

[Simon Lovely @simonlovely]

@jeremydmiller Absolutely! Learn the shortcuts and it's so much faster. Plus it works exactly the same on Linux too! Helps that I had 10 years of resharper muscle memory already though 😃
