@KassanoraL Using GDP to measure individual wealth is like using temperature to measure height. You can do it; but your results are meaningless

Hey @DublinAirport I’ve just been spending a lot of money on food in The Fallow in T2. I asked for a glass of tap water and was refused on the grounds that they are not allowed to give out tap water as it’s “too dirty” in the airport. Can you confirm that your water is unsafe?

A valuable flute went missing yesterday from the owner's bike on the way to a lunchtime session in Cassidy's in Camden St. It has huge sentimental value and a reward has been offered. If anyone sees it, please send a DM. RTs appreciated.

#MISSING | Can you help us find Kai, 13, from #Islington who was reported missing on 4 December? He was last seen leaving his home address, wearing a grey tracksuit with black trainers. If you have any info please call 999 or message @MetCC quoting CAD 5034/09DEC25.

We've been made aware of telephone calls purporting to be from Arthritis UK which offer to help with the completion of benefits forms in return for a fee. This is a scam and is not being carried out by Arthritis UK. For info on how to stay safe, visit: stopthinkfraud.campaign.gov.uk

I’m just about to host a session at ⁦@ASFFest⁩ but it always great to enjoy the beauty that is #York

Pumpkins: Halloween is one night. Tonight. If you have to waste a food item (and I strongly suggest you don't), please put it out for one night, then safely dispose of it. Please DO NOT put it out for the wildlife. Once you've handled it, cut it, left it out in the open, unrefrigerated, it will not be hygienic or safe for anyone to eat. Pumpkins are a low-acid vegetable, so once they are cut and left at room temperature, pathogens will rapidly grow on the flesh, producing mould spores. Our precious wildlife do not have any magical properties that protect them against food poisoning. Additionally, this time of year there are baby hedgehogs around, born too late to find natural food, desperate to eat anything to stop the pain of starvation. Pumpkin has a laxative affect so it would be particularly cruel to leave it out for starving wildlife to eat in desperation, causing them to lose precious fluids that may make the difference between life and death. So no matter what you read elsewhere, please DO NOT put your discarded decoration out for the birds or any other wildlife. Please DO NOT compost them either, as a composting pumpkin can produce highly toxic tremorgenic mycotoxins, which will be deadly if the compost bin is not properly secured and is accessible to wildlife (or pets). Many hedgehogs, seeking the warmth of a compost bin, die this way every year. Once you've used the pumpkin as decoration it's waste, fit only for the bin. Please help get this vital message spread far and wide, to save precious lives and prevent suffering.
