@AdamHayNicholls Is that guy a midget?

Thoughts on the Ferrari Luce: It's 'brave'. It's 'interesting'. There are some lovely details. But it's a Ferrari for people who don't like Ferraris. Most controversial Ferrari ever, but also the most influential ever: Other manufacturers are going to pick over this like magpies.

@3c3p3d It's the bumper to bonnet profile that ruins it

How could several adults stand around this, and all nod in agreement and say “Yes, this is the final, the best we can do, we can do no more …. We shall make this

@DAaronovitch So it's not just a claim about perceived political drift of an individual then? How could he have phrased it without the slightly nasty sectarian reference?

The sectarian impulse runs strong in Sir Simon. Always a disaster

@first15 Is there a chapter that covers Aberfan?

It can be hard to understand who God is and how to connect with Him. First15 makes it simple—15 minutes a day with scripture, reflection, and prayer.

@JamieBonkiewicz Insight into his "mind"

Who gives a fuck?

@tomhfh Cleave!

Something that annoys me deeply is how the word "thrift" means being careful with money, but the word "spendthrift" means being irresponsible with money.

@vordea @Prominent_Bryan To let light and air in

@ArthurSteggles @Prominent_Bryan Why would you want a transparent window in a BATHROOM?

@afneil Don't think you mean prescient.

You know, I think that’s prescient. So much of what he bought made no sense for a low-key, undemonstrative, middle-class Scot. There was a lot of bling. Yet he is the antithesis of flash.

@Prominent_Bryan Perhaps they have windows. They're great, they open as well as being transparent... unbelievable

Is there a reason why most countries outside of North America don't have fans in the bathroom? Is NA the only place that figured out that getting the humidity/moisture out was important? I'm always baffled by this

@Ogilvie_CJ Don't you mean je ne sais quoi?

Would LNER/Avanti have popped open the doors & let passengers sit on the track in a power failure??? Got to admire the French "Je ne sais pas" sometimes!

@RealEmirHan Self centred deluded narcissistic cunt

Robert de Niro, 80, and his 10-month-old daughter in 2024.

@joeroganhq Yeah they should invent something really great like er let's see...the metaverse

Mark Zuckerberg on Apple: "They haven't really invented anything great in a while. Steve Jobs invented the iPhone, and now they're kind of sitting on it 20 years later."

@initjean Wasn't he in The Americans?

Half of all Claude Code subscriptions could be completely wiped out in the next 6-12 months, predicts Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei.

@NaziaKaziTweets yeah 10000 hours of practise and you can do anything - biggest load of bollocks I've heard

Any time I start to panic about the epidemic of systemic stupidity and illiteracy created by AI, I stop and remember that 20 years ago, people thought Malcolm Gladwell was thought provoking

@Scivf4 Somewhat fascinatingly you can also use the graphic/idea of a radius sweeping out area but one of the sweep points is stuck so you only get half....gap-filling exercise for reader

Area of circle

Well you see I think this might be because Bush was, how can I put this......normal

Trump and his MAGAts are weak little bitches.

@SJosephBurns I've heard it the other way round and both versions are bollocks

@daisyldixon You made it sound like your Mac was crying and throwing up, and I wondered whether that was why it had deleted your stuff

crying and throwing up, my Mac just seemingly deleted my draft paper which had all my thoughts in that I’ve been working on for weeks. This is the error message. I went to ‘save’ it and Word just said the file was missing. The file is not in my trash. Please someone help me recover it 😭

@Peter88902568 Mine keeps letting go of the bread and dropping it on my head. But if I get too stressed I just open a window or sit in the shade.

Erm, I think we know a ceiling toaster when we see one, thanks very much.

@saints_ranger @David__Osland Yeah I really like the 8 bells though haven't been there for yonks. The Golden Lion is in the rather less salubrious environs of Basingstoke in "the Viables"

@ArthurSteggles @David__Osland Oxford blue (international) or union (uk training) at Beaumont… the eight bells at Putney Bridge, I don’t recall the options at west gorton but the lion was that a reading08 thing?

Airline pilots, train drivers, teachers, firefighters and coppers aren't conducting open heart surgery either. But they still get sacked for being pissed at work.
