My thoughts on my internship with geotenerife, by far the best experience of my life!! https://t.co/zEOJfXzifu

Lets hope we get north of 20mill for hackney, accept the 12mil coming for morris after the world cup and the 9mil for whittaker, 4mil for strelec and 6 mill for riley we can completely rebuild the front 6 and 4 solid championship players as backup.

@JennyAThatcher The apps shouldnt be mutually exclusive. If twitter is seen as right wing dominated, and bluesky is perceived as being predominantly left, then its a self fulfilling prophecy, and their worldviews are just being reinforced. You cant see the other side if you close your eyes.

Across northern #Gaza, there is no way of telling where the destruction starts or ends.

No matter from what direction you enter #Gaza City, homes, hospitals, schools, health clinics, mosques, apartments, restaurants - all completely flattened.

An entire society now a graveyard.

Someone has just called up Absolute Radio and requested a song for someone called ‘Ellen Droad’ and then requested this song…

“Leeds are falling apart again”

Nearly 10 minutes of video from multiple significant tornadoes via multiple supercells today in Nebraska and Iowa. Unreal tornado outbreak. #kswx #newx

Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.

[Scott Alexander @zandersson12]

Shouldve used the words
"Award Goal"

Saying "thats fine, perfect. Check complete" does not tell the referee what to do.

Failure of protocol or VAR going off script? Either way this is a failure of communication on a basic level.

The VAR footage from the Luis Diaz ‘offside’ has been released: https://t.co/GxBVJzr42v

I find it very strange that Paqueta is 8/11 to be booked today

A player with only 3 yellow cards this season is ODDS ON to be booked for West Ham today.

Surely there is something going on there?

How can @PennyMordaunt use the phrase "exciting news" when opening a tory spun food bank.

This isn't exciting this is a disgrace and a failure of government!

[Penny Mordaunt @PennyMordaunt]

Thank you to everyone who helped get these community pantries set up, especially in Paulsgrove and Baffins wards. Whether you’ve helped get the word out, volunteered, shopped, donated or grown fruit and veg. We’ve enough funds for a further one and will have exciting news soon.

'This is the only programme in Britain where you get the news before it has actually happened!'

＠mrjamesob predicted that Boris Johnson would claim he couldn't give his WhatsApps to the COVID Inquiry as he forgot the phone's passcode - 35 minutes later it happened.

[Tax Justice UK @TaxJusticeUK]

Wealth taxes are genuinely popular. 78% of people in the UK support higher taxes on the very wealthy.

But there’s huge opposition from some parts of the media and some politicians.

A short 🧵debunking of arguments against wealth taxes.

The UK Mortgage Apocalypse Just Started.

Anyone with a mortgage coming up for renewal in the next 12-24 months is in for a lot of pain.

Don’t worry though. Jeremy Hunt says you can extend the term and pay your mortgage for an extra 5 years. 👍

So kind.

Remarkable. 😧 AccuWeather's @TonyLaubach captured this incredible video of side-by-side tornadoes forming in Washington County, Colorado, this afternoon. #COwx

[Scott Alexander @zandersson12]

Havent been home in 3 weeks, take a few days off to sort garden and torrential rain. Brilliant!
