@haveigotnews @RichardAyoade @TheRealJackDee @BBCiPlayer 4 men 1 woman.

Again.

50% of the population but lucky when they’re 40% of the show.

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

#HIGNFY 4 men, 1 woman - again.

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

@RlyehReviews @Adobe How many truths are lost in summaries? They should be listed alongside misinformation and false news.

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

#hignfy Female host, one female guest. So that’s 40% female. But the population’s 50% female.

So another opportunity missed. What happens if you have 3 woman on the show do they reach critical mass?

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

#HIGNFY Friday 16th May - 4 men, 1 woman.

Again.

Jut saying.

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

#hignfy 4 men 1 woman. Again.

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

#HIGNFY 4 men 1 woman.

How long is this going to on for?

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

Suggest they all followed my on bluesky for the good stuff.

Hey? If you had an account with nearly 10k followers, what would you do with it?

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

The WORLD needs school like Hogwarts because, in that world, magic wielding individuals are so numerous. It isn’t the only school by far.

Most fantasy worlds have less ubiquitous wizards and individual training is appropriate.

[memeslich 💀 dnd memes @memeslich]

Do wizards need schools like Hogwarts, or should training be more independent?

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

Goblins, Orge, skeletons or zombies. (Probably zombies.)

If you were running an AD&D game for a group of RPG Newbies, what three classic monsters would you include in that adventure?

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

4 men 1 woman.

it’s 2025.

[Have I Got News For You @haveigotnews]

In the hold with a bomb

[Robert @BearsPurgatory]

Pick your seat. #FridayVibes

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

100% agree. It’s a game called “d20” with the #DnD brand grafted on.

[RealmBuilderGuy⚔️ @RealmBuilderRPG]

Everything published by WotC post-2e isn’t actually D&D anymore.

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

Nah! Thatcher.

[Benonwine @benonwine]

This was the start of Britain’s downfall

Who else agrees with me?

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

Too many bells and whistles. Less would be more. https://t.co/obtxmegpBB

You only need to taught to “do Taxes” in a country with one of the stupidest tax systems in the world. Not in the UK.

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

In America they have this pioneer spirit you have to be blessed to do everything yourself lie they tell themselves.

I’ve taught these classes. I used to teach students to wire plugs. A completely unnecessary skill these days. Basic First Aid/Cooking/Finance may be useful.

[El Gallo 🇺🇸🇩🇴☘️ @vinquezada1]

Do you agree with this? I do!

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

You are “The Big Bang Theory”

As apparently I'm not supposed to as a functioning adult -

Yes - I build legos, have 3d printers (plural), play video games, rpgs, board games, and read non-self help books.

I guess I'm undatable according to many posts running around at the moment.

I also have a PhD in Physics, my own thriving company, 10+ years in Predictive Analytics (a portion of the A.I. world that isn't LLMs or image generations but really important to you and you may not realize it), multiple peer reviewed papers in respected academic journals including the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 23 issued US patents, and 7 books I have written.

Damn, guess I have to up my "adulting" game.

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

There is a VERY thin line between Satirising a Thing and Doing the Thing.

Sometimes in an attempt to satirise some people actually do the thing they purpose to hate.

[Josh @joshpearson180]

Come fly with me was brilliant but some bits were just outrageous

Not a chance we ever see anything like this again on tv 🤣

[Simon Burley @squadronuk]

Why RICH entitled young people are fleeing Britain.

Good riddance.
