That's a photo of fireflies.
Bewildered AI/Programmer.
I follow people I like and the others to know what's going on.

I think I've become alergic to Boris Johnson in any form, most noticeably grinning photos.
As my TL includes lots of UK accounts, which RT his every disingenuous gaslighting croak, it is with regret that I must step away from Twitter until UK sanity returns or hell freezes over.

Huge thanks to everyone who joined my #sunspots on a budget masterclass for Sky at Night magazine last night. If you missed it don't worry; you can still buy a ticket and watch the recording up to ten times. https://t.co/c724brJVSr

Modi's Trump like OTT reaction to the sad terrorist incident is exactly what I was worried about when Trump took office and began to throw his weight about.
Trump's behaviour has ramifications worldwide. We can't afford 3 more years of this, a BIG mistake will be made somewhere.

The extra money paid by households and individuals to meet excessively high electricity bills also has VAT applied to it. How sneaky is that?
The Government has no real incentive to change this huge hidden tax take. 3/3 ☹️

[Tubsturtle. Gentleman Adventurer. @tubsturtle]

A hidden tax is being paid by people in the UK.
Electricity provided domestically by any source is charged at the high cost Gas Generators rate.
This means that low cost generators, Wind farms and others make artificially high profit margins. 1/3

[Tubsturtle. Gentleman Adventurer. @tubsturtle]

These excessive profits by low cost providers are subject to a special tax by the government.
The extra money paid by households and individuals to meet excessively high electricity bills also has VAT applied to it. How sneaky is that? 2/3

@Enezator Tracy the Tapir?

I suspect they will try to revert to norm and vote in
an insider to restore the gravy train.
Promising perks should see off enough Africans methinks. 2/2

As powerful rich old men in frocks goPapa Frank seems to have been a nice guy.
He tried to reject the Vatican norms of privilege
and luxury, which went down badly with the Vatican
establishment of course. 1/2

@ustayready What do you mean by beefy, any suggestion please...

@TakeThatClouds Some people enjoy Sophistry, it's not new Mike:
Plato argues that the teachings of a sophist reproach any true learning because it does not accept or recognize any concept or principle as true or real if it were created by a person

Since we're talking Dictators at the moment;
I lived in Berlin for a while and can confirm
a lot of Germans hate Hitler.
(But not always for the same reasons we do)

I'm saying 8% because I'm not scared.

[Justin Wolfers @JustinWolfers]

Something has happened in the last three months that has led basically every economic forecaster to predict that inflation will be substantially higher than they previously thought.

Now here's a thing.
People playing the US Stock Market winners returns
Average Joes3%
Sharp Hedge Fund Stars 7%
US Senators 12%

Weird isn't it?

[Tubsturtle. Gentleman Adventurer. @tubsturtle]

Sorry to put the cat among the pigeons but:
The UK Supreme Court ruling clarifying the term Women
refers to biological females only does not ban trans
people for participating in anything. It just removes
the annexed equal right.
It's still a choice.

I’m just glad that our secretary of education has no idea what AI is and called it “A One” multiple times at the largest education conference in the US:
