I think the people furthest away will be a close tie between a) folks on the ISS and b) those on planes flying along Baja California in the late afternoon on Monday the 6th. (Reasoning follows: 🧵)

bit suspicious of Nick Briggs's appearance in the Daleks' Master Plan episode 1 tbh.

someone came on the mud the other day and was like "huh, and when did you write this timeline?" 2001! "2026. Breakdown of the United Nations, NATO. Third World War [between the US & rest of world, UK and France remain neutral] [...] New more "theocratic" American constitution adopted."

So I was very confused that Bluesky was showing me lots of Italian posts and then I realised the venue name I had apparently typed into Bluesky search is an Italian word: the Abigail Brady story

I’ve got a spare afternoon/evening in Manchester tomorrow (I’ll be coming from Liverpool at some point in the day), anyone know anything going on/anyone I know want to meet up or something?

I was trying to describe a film to someone today and was like “the main guy is that guy who is in all the films.” it was Hugh Jackman.

Actually this is just sparkling global conflict. It’s not World War III unless there’s offensive military action in the Champagne region of France.

one of my longer-running, non succesful twitter threads was a bit I did where I would name television shows that could be named, according to topical things. here we go: You couldn't make Our Friends in the North today. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
