Fascinating thread

The best summing up of Trump i've ever seen.

@bbc5live.bsky.social Exactly why you do not need to broadcast them in Adrian's show -

@statto.bsky.social FYI:

@scottygb.bsky.social Fraternities/sororities are no problem at US universities -- just something that goes on on the side, some people join, most don't -- it was all fascinating to observe. And I went to a few frat & sorority parties to add to the experience, and get the Animal House vibe :)

@aiannucci.bsky.social One for you ... beyond parody ...

@duncanweldon.bsky.social That'll exclude Trump then

@rickedwards1.bsky.social Your dry cakes are probably a good sign, good instinct -- not to load it up with too much saturated fat. TV chefs certainly don't care about such things.

@soozuk.bsky.social Where Vonn crashed is certainly the worst place to finish

@rickedwards1.bsky.social @rachelburden.bsky.social And my torn ACL was painless, no problem skiing -- only excrutiatingly painful at the time I did it (judo competition) -- and really painful when half-dislocating my knee on a regular basis

@rickedwards1.bsky.social @rachelburden.bsky.social I've skied with a torn ACL, weeks before repair surgery. It couldn't really have gotten any worse - risk of dislocation, but so there was when sitting down in a chair. Craziest Olympian is that GB woman in the Paris marathon with a broken leg!

My song of resistance for the people of Minneapolis - St Paul is now available to stream on these platforms bbragg.lnk.to/cityofheroes

@parkermolloy.com Yes, exactly he did say some very weird things about MH370!

Just seeing asbestos powder discussed on a historical TV show -- now waiting for/expecting Trump & RFK to re-legalize it Radium consumer products next

@rickedwards1.bsky.social Rachel interjected, stopped you getting a good answer to fun alternatives to weight training ... I'm bouldering these days, good upper body exercise for sure

@stuartmaconie.bsky.social Whole potato in crsip bag ... on the radio

@surlyamy.bsky.social I reckon you'll like these ...

@kermodemovie.bsky.social You'll love this - @simonmayo.bsky.social @kermodeandmayo.bsky.social

@rickedwards1.bsky.social @rachelburden.bsky.social Talking about the ending of a new movie - criminal - you'd make bad movie critics!! Him too, spoiling the ending of his own movie

@rickedwards1.bsky.social The Celtic management switch is a great little (rare) case study - Rodgers losing, O'Neill wins most, Nancy loses most - if O'Neill does it again ... all with the same players -- what is the simple magic that makes a team play well. And why couldn't Nancy keep continuity

@rachelburden.bsky.social @rickedwards1.bsky.social Rachel, you gave the answer away there - 200 and sss.... Instant DQ for that

@davidbflower.bsky.social I was surprised to see it wasn't your post :)

@rachelburden.bsky.social RE: PFAS - watch the movie Dark Waters with Mark Ruffalo - true story of a big case in the US

@paulfarmerceo.bsky.social Heard you on 5Live this morning -- if you'd like to hear about my father's care as a perfect case study for some of the failures you were talking about please let me know. :)

@rickedwards1.bsky.social And what are the rules if the first person gets it spot on - then there is no up or down? :)

@rickedwards1.bsky.social RE: 96 mins. Strategy for your tiebreaker - films are mostly 90-100 mins - what Mitch needed to do was find the best zone of doubt for his opponent, most uncertainty - and that's in the mind-90s. I picked 97; I didn't guess 97.

@rickedwards1.bsky.social Sumo, Nagoya 1996 - little guy beats big guy ('dump truck'), and i was there. Sad thing that big guy fell on little guy, injured him, put him out of the tournament.... youtu.be/rD8fCRYXkQM...

@rachelburden.bsky.social Well, best to learn to trust chia seeds - good in so many ways. They get slimy when wet because of their fibre

Nails it: 'New York University bioethicist Art Caplan said it was “the saddest display of a lack of evidence, rumors, recycling old myths, lousy advice, outright lies, and dangerous advice I have ever witnessed by anyone in authority.”'

@rickedwards1.bsky.social I'm wondering how many times you've said bullshit/liar/idiot/bastard under your breath today, thinking about Trump's medical advice. Countless, I'm sure. Trump & RFK jr, a pair of absolute fuckheads.

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social Tedious questioning - will you rule out coalitions etc. Boring & pointless - awful to watch - no wonder she doesn't want to answer that

@rickedwards1.bsky.social Sounds like you need a power bank for your phone - a back up external battery to charge from

@rickedwards1.bsky.social @rachelburden.bsky.social I don't like that doctor's advice - RE: healthy fats -- be aware of eating too much omega-6 fat. It takes some effort to avoid it - but extra cashew butter would be the wrong answer. And sunflower seeds are loaded with it too.

@rickedwards1.bsky.social @rachelburden.bsky.social Technical problem - the sports rights recording just started up - for no reason - so us listening online outside of the UK can no longer hear you. Please tell your tech guys. Thanks

@rickedwards1.bsky.social Sprinters don't actually have big calves -- I was also surprised to learn that listening to a physiology expert a while back. Huge quads maybe, with skinny calves.

@rickedwards1.bsky.social Trump is making the script of Idiocracy reality -- of course there will be UFC at The White House

@jimsciutto.bsky.social How come you can't say quorum correctly - you've invented your own version there 😉

@gregjenner.bsky.social Maybe you can do an ep on the history of arthroscopic surgery -- I'm happy I got my ACL fixed in the 90s not the 80s, when I tore it - www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

@rachelburden.bsky.social @rickedwards1.bsky.social BMI is perfect ... for identifying who really knows what they are talking about RE: health and fitness. And who can't figure out the difference between a jelly belly & rock hard muscle man! It's obviously an appalling equation but is a handy guide.

@rachelburden.bsky.social @rickedwards1.bsky.social Your quiz is a tiny bit daft - Vicky is a commentator, it's the end of the tournament - she knows the squads, part of her job ;)

@chemscrapes.bsky.social Chemscrapes in the wild, I mean the lab...

@rachelburden.bsky.social New in the science news - Vapes release more toxic heavy metals than tobacco cen.acs.org/business/con... via @cenmag

@rachelburden "Former Soviet Republic of Georgia" - Sounds like your news script was written in 1991 :) I guess it was to distinguish from the US Georgia. But #1 Georgia is the country, surely.

@statto.bsky.social FYI: news.mit.edu/2025/mit-eng...

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

@rickedwards1.bsky.social FYI:

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social All a bit annoying today with those 2 MPs - all the Liz Truss crap which is ages ago. Not a good watch. I don't blame the Tory if she feels a bit ambushed
