This is really excellent data journalism... Elon Musk has declared war on the British government, it just doesn't realise it.

Transferring my medical info from NHS England to NHS Wales makes me want to scream into the abyss on the regular.

Me playing my first run of Balatro: this is cool but I don't get why people are obsessing over it. Me playing my 20th run: oh no.

Happy tin foil pal and a pedal bin day

Liz Truss tried her best but, as with so many things, if you want something done properly, you need to get the Americans to do it.

This talk of generations reminds me of the historical blood-fraction laws and one-drop rule that were used in America to "racially classify" people. They contributed to the oppression of African Americans, and clearly any rule that allows you to say groups of people "don't belong" isn't a good idea

Here's a shocking finding, opinion columnists don't critically engage with the material they are writing about. A thread on why we shouldn't take the survey this article is based on at face value🧵

This is a decent exploration of working from home, but it's hugely disappointing that they didn't speak to anyone living with a disability or chronic illness (or even someone on a long NHS waiting list) www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m00276pd

My case for the defence of jokey names is my all-time favourite anecdote about a protein that was discovered in the Trypanosoma brucei parasite (causes sleeping sickness), which had a ring-like structure... so they named it BILBO1

Already seen food shop displays for Easter. The lads only just been born, it's not time for him to be resurrected yet

Tragically needing to work on a research paper resubmission on NYE. 0/10, wouldn't recommend

This is a great (and worrying) piece. I'm probably overly sensitive to this - as I love video games - but the headline and picture does have the whiff of video games=bad. Games aren't mentioned in the article, so we don't know if online game chat was one of the ways he was radicalised.

Now wondering if Starmer has set out the first steps and milestones for Christmas dinner. Is the boxing day turkey sandwich a key mission? We need to know

tired: fighting with people on twitter wired: fighting with people on bluesky

Richard Tice in 2018 on George Soros' donation to UK political groups: "He doesn't live here. He doesn't pay taxes here. What right has he got to interfere with our democracy?" Richard Tice in 2024 ahead of Elon Musk's donation to Reform UK: "If Mr Musk can legally donate... We'd be delighted."

Ominous Russell Brand vibes here: wellness grifting and bothsidesism as the gateway to conspiracy theories www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It's even worse than this now, because the last time I went to hospital I was asked by the two people who treated me why I was wearing a mask, as if I was in the wrong. I'm not doing it for fun lads, immunosuppression is serious business.

Brilliant article here. What fascinates me is the reality isn't that someone might gain an "advantage", but rather the ability to live as able-bodied people do - especially when we talk about PIP. They want equality, and that's too much

I don't often listen to Newscast, but when I do I'm always disappointed that Penny Mordaunt saying "the prime minister is not under a desk" isn't in the intro anymore

Whoever thought of Van Halen but make it big band... genius. Probably the only time I've wished #Strictly released an OST

someone at waterstones is trolling Boris Johnson 💀

This is far from the most important point, but he talks about a *British* bill of rights and then a Northern Ireland bill of rights, inadvertently implying that NI should have a different bill of rights. Of course all unionists would be completely fine with that...

This meme has made my day

Absolute bumper crop of talent on #Strictly this year, the competition is going to be really close

Crossing my fingers that the next American Smooth is normal, and not deeply weird like the offerings so far from Paul and Nick #Strictly

Everyone upstairs is so hyper already, BBC need to stop feeding them blue smarties #Strictly

Brace. BRACE. Paul is about to "dance" #Strictly

Claudia dressed like a chic Christmas tree, Tess dressed as a rejected Barbie movie extra #Strictly

Secret Panel HERE 🧙‍♂️ tapas.io/episode/3150022

I love #strictly but oh boy am I glad it's almost over. The initial shows are just. so. long.

That dance from Paul was absolutely unhinged #Strictly

Claudia cosplaying Princess Leia, Tess as a power ranger turned business woman #Strictly

I always think the first draft of a research paper is the hardest part of writing until I have to redraft it after receiving comments... and then I remember that this bit is much worse. Now doing everything I can to avoid working on it 😅
