@vivamjm You forgot Xi and Kim

Imagine a world without Trump, Netanyahu & Putin... Go!

@Bigqadi I once calculated that the very top marathon runners go at pretty much exactly the same speed as I can do 100m (about 17 seconds)

Absolutely outrageous from Gout Gout. 10.04 at the age of 16. Speechless.

@TuckyVersionOne That lorry chase is beyond brilliant

Franz Sanchez is a top 5 Bond villain and I will not hear otherwise.

@BristOliver Ooh you bitch

She seems to be looking at the wrong month in her Giant Book Of Tedious Midwit Talking Points

@skdh Ha, I always knew dark matter was utter bollocks

Researchers from the University of Bonn in Germany have re-analysed observations of galaxy clusters and argue that much of the clusters’ “missing” mass may not be exotic dark matter but ordinary matter in the form of faint stellar remnants. Galaxy clusters have long required about five times more mass than what is visible to explain the observed galaxy motions, an observation that is usually attributed to dark matter. But the authors combined gravitational lensing, X-ray, and optical data with models of star formation and found that the total mass in stars and their remnants could be almost twice as high as previously estimated. This matters because Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND), an alternative to dark matter, seems to not work well for galaxy clusters. The discrepancy between the MOND predictions and the observations from galaxy clusters almost goes away with the new estimate, while dark matter no longer works all that well.

@MbarkCherguia Because they didn't understand adverbs

Why is that?

@CarlBovisNature So is mine

Spring has arrived and the cat is chilling... 😎

@SandyofSuffolk Tinned soups are liquid salt mines...avoid

Heinz soups are a rip off. Their oxtail soup is very orange. Because it contains mostly carrot. Their chicken soup has no pieces of chicken in. It's just watery slush. Aldi's oxtail soup is a third of the price and is brown and their chicken soup has small bits of chicken in. Ditch the big names people.

@hameedshuja When are you going to blow yourself up duckie?

Left: Me and my goats in Afghanistan. Right: Me after my PhD from one of the UK's top universities. Conclusion: Farage is an ignorant coward who thrives on hate mongering and racial stereotypes.

@notsosexintheci Yup, 1992

I remember when they added an extra number to landlines.

@AaronAmarok Well after 40 years driving a manual I got an EV and baby it's better, ooh yeah

I always found it so funny how more and more people think manuals are this unforgiving task that suits only the strongest most talented drivers when in reality its the easiest thing ever

@dave24144975 Hope you reported him and he got sacked

Well done, Royal Mail—parcel received. And please, by all means, pop back for the rest of my garden ornaments whenever you fancy, you twat.

@gaughen I use two of them for grunt work in a programming job I'm doing. They contradict each other all the time.

I didn't realize how hilariously bad artificial intelligence was until tonight, when I asked it about something I'm an expert on. I asked it about zoning laws in Pennsylvania and the AI hallucinated case law that doesn't exist. Silicon Valley wants us to rely on this slop? 😬

@investedmemes Is this actually real, I mean not the house but people paying this money for literally nothing?

Never forget

@paul_jkrause Sirens of Titan

What is the best sci-fi novel you've read? There are many good ones. Great ones. Not just because he recently passed away, but Hyperion by Dan Simmons has to be up there for everyone who has read it...

@FergusCraig Reckless fool

Just walked to the APOCALYPTIC HELLHOLE that is Brixton for a pint.

@PhilipProudfoot Forcing transition to renewables doesn't sound too bad

Trump is going to crash the entire global economy, end US hegemony, end the petrodollar, force an emergency transition to renewable energy, and tank Israel’s global reputation to an irrecoverable level. Is this MAGA?

@GreggHurwitz Do all your novels feature mayonnaise?

Twenty-seven novels in, I still spell check "mayonnaise" every time. And get it wrong every time.

@RogierBrussee Beyond a certain level of abstruseness and vast number of preconditions it gets a bit silly.

This is rather a beautiful example of modern math with very precise and profound statements (not to mention the great use Litt made of it for proving that certain Taylor expansions have rational coefficients) that look like total gibberish to those outside (and many inside) math.

@benryanwriter Why do I keep reading that paperbacks are drifting towards non-existence? I mean, why do people think it's true?

RIP mass market paperbacks. Here’s my shelf of them:
