It's just so important to see things from a different angle.

So here is how an IT helpdesk experienced the #Crowdstrike outage. 🧵

Please, read this even if you no interest in IT or know nothing about it. It doesn't matter. It's about appreciation for those who keep us going.

@Ed_of_O @jburnmurdoch @Moreincommon_ I guess the question was asking why they lost. The people answering the question might have thought they would get more votes if they were more right wing. Even if they personally prefer a left wing party.

@TheRedHexagon @CrikeyItsDan @KayMandy172853 @SWmoff @RadioTimes When did that happen during the classic era? Was it 1->2?

The lack of impact of evidence is fascinating for me - on this, on immigration... The list goes on. And I don't claim I'd be immune to ignoring evidence that a conservative policy works if I don't fancy it.

Reassuring mundanity is a Good Thing, frankly.

Political earthquakes shake parliament, governments come and go, parties rise and fall, but come what may, The King will be making small talk over canapés with recipients of the King’s Award for Enterprise next week.
The reassuring mundanity of monarchy rolls on.

@dcsprior @thomasforth Different employees often attract different employer costs for various reasons, so this surprises me. Is there any case law for it?

@TwototheHour @dasvee @tompeck This view is too depressing. So many local councillors do huge amounts of work for their local communities.

[Simon Virr 🔶 @simonvirr]

@dasvee @tompeck I'm pretty sure that almost every part of that is an unfair assessment of the majority of politicians.

If you want the economic policies of Liz Truss and the pro-Putin policies of Jeremy Corbyn, vote Reform.

The top two things trending on twitter for me right now. One is a malevolent entity who will stop at nothing to destroy all life and the other... oh, never mind.

@disappoptimism @ariehkovler @JohnRentoul @LordAshcroft I don't think you *can* disclaim a life peerage. Resigning from the HoL is as close as you can get.

I'm on my spare account again as it looks like someone hacked my main one again. I can't access it. Though it doesn't seem to be spewing garbage about bitcoin yet.
