@RoryStewartUK Once again, I'm reminded of that quote about dictators and demagogues.

Just in case anyone isn’t following the drift of this lovely threat to me here - “the sort of laws we used to have” - presumably means the death penalty….

@jk_rowling @TheEconomist What they would prefer is that funding is diverted to the women's team "in exile", ce Afghanistan receives funding for the women's team they refuse to have.

@jk_rowling There's a very good article in last week's @TheEconomist about this exact issue. The remnants of the Afghan Women's Team seem to support the men's team continuing to play.

It's so uplifting to see men like this bravely championing the right of girls to watch their menfolk having fun.

@BreachWizards Loved Tactical Breach Wizards, but the replayability of Heat Signature is amazing. Great game to spin up for five minutes during a build, too.

I'm not meant to tell you this, but for another 24 hours you can get: 🧙‍♂️ Tactical Breach Wizards at 20% off! store.steampowered.com/app/1043810/Ta… 🚀 Heat Signature at 60% off! store.steampowered.com/app/268130/Hea… 🕵️ Gunpoint at 60% off! store.steampowered.com/app/206190/Gun… .

@BreachWizards Well, I voted for you on Innovative gameplay, so...

Valve now let us beg for your Steam Awards vote in one category of our choice, a nice idea that I think is a bad thing overall! Here's a post about why, in which I still beg for your vote but complain the whole time I am doing it: store.steampowered.com/news/app/10438… .

@BreachWizards That'd be awesome if you can keep creative control.

We've had some interest in the TV & film rights to Tactical Breach Wizards, from some cool folks. Still in the exploring-options phase, so if you might be one of our options and haven't reached out yet, please do! biz@suspiciousdevelopments.com

@Joanna__Hardy I used to dread Christmas Eve. For years it was an evening of frantically assembling astonishingly complicated things for the kids late at night, trying not to wake anyone.

I’m trying to build a baby activity toy centre and - honestly - this is the most difficult thing I’ve ever done in my entire adult life

Simplify your security by bricking every device in your estate. Finally, truly unhackable protection.

Went to my first political rally last night. @CountBinface, greatest politician of the age, was in fine fettle. Highly recommend going - nobody left bored before the end.

@Nigel_Farage Isn't prison exactly that?

Sadiq Khan wants free housing for criminals and illegal migrants. And he wants you to pay for it all.

@MarinaPurkiss @UKLabour Well, changing the way energy is charged for would eliminate the excessive profit, lower our bills, and encourage UK generation. A fixed unit price for energy whether it's cheaply generated UK wind or exorbitant Russian gas causes both high bills and wild profits.

Here’s an idea @UKLabour… Wealth tax for the profiteering energy companies who have raked in billions Use that to keep the winter fuel allowance for our most vulnerable pensioners and help others struggling too Or… be prepared to have a very short time in office.

@BreachWizards Looking forward to the tweet with a director's commentary.

Special behind the scenes look at the making of this tweet, on my phone, last night.

You have 24 hours left to grab Tactical @BreachWizards if you want the mildly fancy launch week outfits and a 10% discount! store.steampowered.com/app/1043810/Ta… 2,200 reviews at 98% positive now - insane, thank you all so much.

@jamiesont Is this actually real? He tells advertisers to fuck off and then sues them when they do? Is this the ultimate in fuck about and find out?

Teenage Elon Musk sues Yr9 classmates, alleging a “massive birthday party boycott” depriving his party of any guests despite him promising everyone $100 for showing up

@JamesCridland @Telstra @wimia @Aussie_BB @VodafoneAU Now you have me worried. I've got several thousand public IP addresses.

A man from @telstra rings me, with worrying news - my IP address "is in public mode". He gets me to check @wimia which contains scary language about my "public" IP address. I wasted 15 minutes of this chap's time (I'm with @Aussie_BB and @VodafoneAU), but got bored.

@BarristerSecret Rob Rinder's first novel has a great line along these lines, about innocent until proven guilty being so important because otherwise, think what they'd do to the innocent.

If we only defended nice, popular, well-mannered people who’ve never put a foot wrong, an awful lot of defendants would be going unrepresented.

Easily. Because we don’t judge our clients. Like doctors, we just help the person in front of us, no matter what they might have done. That’s the job. That’s what keeps the rule of law alive. That’s what sets us apart from the politicians who denigrate us for cheap clicks.

@IanDunt @carlgardner I think it's more likely that the candidate does a Corbyn, and swings wildly toward the right, losing the party even more support before correcting.

@carlgardner Yep exactly. Most likely from tugendhat and cleverly. But even in their case, this will be complicated by Reform presence in the Commons.

The pity about Tugendhat's is that it deprives the Conservatives of any honest conversation about why they lost. They lost on competence. If even the moderate one is retreating to 'we lost coz we weren't Tory enough' they'll never to where they need to be.

@kellabyte @carltonupp I see your .NET and raise you AbstractJavaFactoryBuilder

@carltonupp You nailed this so hard 😂This was a subtweet of my observations seeing several .NET codebases the past 4 months LOL

Premature abstraction is WAY more prevalent and worse than premature optimization and really handcuffs code bases for years and years.

Vote Conservative for a dog's breakfast

@BladeoftheS That's not how averages work. Or rather, it is but you clearly want a different measure.

The average wage in the UK is supposedly £34,963. If you take off the top 1% it is £33,000. If you take off the top 10% it is £27,000 The real average wage is a pathetic £22,000 a year. Now you know why everyone is poor.
