@arrroberts Bike ride earlier ... same.

@jholbo1 @WillAdamsWriter @arrroberts Definitely a thing. I assumed it was a new search algorithm promoting blue ticks or whatever their business model is aiming at. And obviously annoying.

@SFRuminations Doctor Rat was one of the greats of my 1970s teenage sci-fi reading. And a great cover too. Hopefully it reads as well all these years later.

@AlasdairGold I hear Conte is available ...

@arrroberts Ahh, John, he tells it like he sees it.

@jholbo1 Credit where it's due.

@IanDunt Plus, "You've been added to the Post Beta waitlist" ... and the wait continues ...

@Doctor_Hutch Hah! It's the roads most places that necessitate a gravel bike. Plough straight over them pot-holes.

@VictimOfMaths Interesting. Is that using the ONS definition/list of ~15 alcohol-specific deaths or something broader?

@markfendley @sainsburys Mark, Morrisons Canterbury the same. Try gaffer taping a pound coin to your Apple watch for emergencies.

Staggering new chart from the IMF. We all know that increasing energy costs hit low income households hardest, but in the UK that impact will be the second biggest in the world, and the differential with the best off will also be the biggest. What is the gov’t going to do?

@markfendley "yet" is such a weasel word here. Just say not recyclable. As if I could wait until tomorrow and it would be. Grrr.
