What is motivating him? Confirmed cases are no higher than in previous outbreaks. People are sharing graphs of "suspected cases" as if they were confirmed to hype the fear.

@levyuk @SamaHoole Yeah I'm sitting in just my pants most of the time 😂

@DavidRye3 @SamaHoole Crikey! I couldn't tolerate that. I struggle when it's that temperature outside

Things people did in 1965 without thinking about them. Skipping breakfast when they weren't hungry. Now: "intermittent fasting." Requires an app, a podcast, a wearable, and a £40 hardback explaining what your great-grandfather did for free on a Tuesday. Drinking water from the tap. Now: reverse-osmosis filtered, remineralised, sold in glass bottles at £4.50 a litre because the tap is, apparently, suspect. Going outside without sunscreen. Now: "irresponsible UV exposure." SPF 30 daily, year-round, including overcast February mornings in Glasgow, where the UV index is roughly that of a filing cabinet. Walking somewhere. Now: a logged step count, a target heart rate zone, carbon-plated trainers, and a recovery protocol for the walk to Sainsbury's. Cold houses in winter. Now: "thermal stress." Replaced with a smart thermostat holding 22°C year-round, then sold back at £3,200 as a cold plunge tub to deliberately recreate the conditions everyone hated in 1973. Eating three eggs for breakfast. Now: "dietary cholesterol risk." Triggers a lipid panel and a frank conversation about your "egg habit," conducted by a doctor who hasn't been told the 2015 retraction happened. Eating butter. Now: "saturated fat exposure." Triggers a leaflet for a plant spread containing fourteen ingredients, none of them dairy and none of them recent. Children playing outside until the streetlights came on. Now: "unsupervised outdoor risk." Requires a GPS tracker, a registered childminder, and a parental anxiety app, none of which existed when your mother was, at nine, climbing a tree two miles from home with a penknife in her pocket. Three meals a day at a table with the family. Now: a "structured eating window" and a "social connection intervention," delivered by a £140-an-hour behavioural psychologist suggesting you eat dinner with your wife. A 55-year-old man lifting his own shopping into the boot. Now: a "functional fitness goal," six-week programme, personal trainer named Jason. The default conditions of 1965 produced a population that was, on every available measure, leaner, fitter, more fertile, better slept, and considerably less anxious than the population of 2026. The cure isn't a product. The cure is the protocol they were already running. Tap water. Real butter. Three eggs. Sunlight on skin. Walking because you needed to be somewhere. Cold houses in winter and open windows in summer. Dinner at a table. A child outdoors until dark. None of it was branded. None of it was monetised. All of it worked. Take it back. It costs nothing. It was yours the whole time.

@levyuk @SamaHoole My wife has a medical issue so she can't tolerate anything below about 23c😂

@SamaHoole My house in winter is 13c. I think most people would die at that level but you get used to it. Interestingly the kids haven't been ill since we moved in

@AnnaClarke_____ This is a ridiculous take......

Attempting to grow all our own food would be the fastest way to food insecurity - a drought or bad harvest one year, and people would starve.

@btcjvs I just switch off and ride it out.....

Seeing people give up all over this timeline. Third bear market and nothing changes with human greed and fear.

@UKHSA A nation of snowflakes 😂

🟠⚠ Amber heat-health alerts have been issued to the health systems across central England until Wednesday 27 May, with yellow alerts covering the rest of the country. You can check the latest alerts and guidance through the early warning system here: 🔗 ukhsa-dashboard.data.gov.uk/weather-health…

@BladeoftheS Is this a joke?! Sure sounds like it......

33C in May in the UK. It's going to hit 50C before 2050 in the UK. Imagine how hot it will be in Europe. Then think about what it will be like in the Middle East, Africa and India. I think not being burned alive is a good reason to flee your country. The world needs to act.

@freddienew @CoinCornerDanny @bitcoinhodlco Excellent news 👍

This is a huge day for @bitcoinhodlco, and the culmination of months of work. First thing is to congratulate and say thank you to my incredible team who have been working flat out to pull this off - thanks and well done. On a company and also a personal level, this is hugely meaningful for us. It marks the launch of our second business line as trailed in our Admission Document; starting with our Lightning routing business, we're now entering the Lighting Service Provider market, offering inbound liquidity channels to enterprise, retail, human and machine customers. It's a huge step for us on our mission to compound our Bitcoin holdings and both to normalise and to simplify the use of Bitcoin as money. Couldn't be happier to have hit the Pizza Day release date as well! Thanks to everyone who made this happen - and on to the next challenge.

@BBCr4today 😂

"Heat is the most deadly of the risks that climate change is bringing." Baroness Brown, from the Climate Change Committee, argues the UK must bring in measures like more air conditioning and a new legal maximum workplace temperatures in response to climate change.

@GBNEWS Trying to keep the dumb plebs happy, eh?

'I am launching the Great British Summer Saving scheme to support families and support our hospitality sector.' Amongst a range of measures to east the cost of living, Chancellor Rachel Reeves announces a temporary cut in VAT rates on ticket prices for 'summer attractions'.

@GBNEWS Not at all. Net migration has fallen because so many good productive people are leaving in despair.

@BigMoLoyal1872 It wasn't the rain here, it was the fact that it's been so cold. We've been lighting the wood burner until recently 🥶

Can we stop with the dumb fuckery about this big heatwave coming and just say we're going to be getting some summer weather, considering we've had rain pretty much every day for about the last 4 months

@defencewithac @CelestialFlea No they're not. It explicitly states this in the Highway Code

@CelestialFlea The cyclist is allowed to do that.

This is the driver's fault, but I think we have reached the point where the law needs to be amended. The idea that a cyclist can just ride up the inside of a turning car and expect it to give way is stupid and inconsistent with how other road users work.

@levyuk 🤞😂

The UK appears to be going downhill fast. Maybe that next election won't be 3 years away

@benonwine Definitely not

Would you VOTE to REJOIN the EU? 🇪🇺 YES OR NO

4/1 now for Restore Britain to win Makerfield. It's getting closer and closer... It would be the biggest shock in British political history.

@BobFromAccounts Highway Code Rule 74 (UK): "Do not ride on the inside of vehicles signalling or slowing down to turn left." This is direct advice for cyclists.

Drivers turning left must yield to cyclists going straight ahead. See the Highway Code before you get back in your cab

@TomK_Brit1993 @johndmtb Definitely not

Would you support Britain rejoining the EU?

@NadineDorries Wasn't this outcome obvious?!

The Online Safety Act should be repealed. The principle at its core, to protect children and young people has been abused and used for political advantage. Read my column here ✍️⬇️ mol.im/a/15828899

@KyleMau You obviously don't know the unpredictable climate in the UK 😂

I have never understood the Eastern and Northern European mindset of going on vacation during summer. When your city is 75 degrees and beautiful and everything is available, you go to Greece and pay $300 a day to turn yourself into a lobster. Instead of just... going in November. You know, when your city is 40 and dreary and grey with 4 hours of "sun "a day. And Greece is 75 and you get a private beach. Make it make sense.
