@KirstieMAllsopp It would probably cost more to implement a system to means test pensioners for free travel than the meagre savings it would bring.

A writer so successful that today is a day dedicated to him in schools all over the country thinks it is reasonable that he travels for free due to his age. People have to stop taking things they do not need, it is wrong and it is bankrupting our country.

I unlocked £20 Rush tickets for Marie Curie the Musical on @TodayTixUK! todaytix.com/london/shows/3…

@SpaceKate @KalteneggerLisa It was brilliant. Definitely some of the most exciting and fascinating papers I got to read at the time.

@SpaceKate @KalteneggerLisa Wow, I remember studying her work during my MSc. How we can look at evolution of life on earth, determine what planetary spectra may have been emitted in past times, and use those as a data library for when telescopes are powerful enough to observe extrasolar planetary spectra

Oh hello beautiful new space book! Love the cover @KalteneggerLisa!

@LeftBrexit @stellacreasy Why do you think migrants are a negative thing? They actually benefit countries economically and socially.

@stellacreasy You could argue a few people praying outside abortion clinics is rather less important to the country's security than tens of thousands of undocumented chancers rowing into the country uninvited. Where were you when they trampled over all our liberties during the pandemic?

The tories want it both ways - using European human rights law and courts to block abortion buffer zones but then trying to deny same court jurisdiction over their actions against refugees. Don’t let them get away with it. Ask your MP why they are so two faced hypocrite.

We shouldn’t put a price on finding love or force people to move abroad because they have found it. That’s not being ‘tough’ on immigration. It’s being tough on anyone who isn’t earning more than the majority of the public for having a heart in first place.

@RadioKate Sorry to hear Kate. Thinking of you. Sending hugs.

Just had some very shocking news that a friend has passed away. You couldn’t imagine a more vibrant, bubbly, chatty sort of person. I’ve got her laughter echoing in my head and memories of energetic idea-sharing and.. it is hard to comprehend that she’s gone.

@RadioKate Probably a bit late for these but... Apart from the obvious netflix ones (Umbrella Academy, The Good Place, Sandman, and Enola Holmes) I would say Shadow and Bone. Also the US version of Dirk Gently was surprisingly good.

Good engaging-but-easy thing to watch on iPlayer/Netflix/C4 after a very long brain-frazzling day?

Quick 🧵 on concerns around AST SpaceMobile's massive new satellite, BlueWalker 3, launching tomorrow. The experimental satellite will test if AST can directly beam 4G/5G from space to individual mobile phones. This requires a huge antenna, which could be extremely bright... 1/

@glorafin Whole number sides of right angled triangles , Pythagorean Triads .

If one of you has a clue about what the hell the last question was about, Let me hear it. It left me utterly baffled. Apart from that, a fair 19 for me and some mild rage at not knowing what the San Sebastián top prize looks like. #UniversityChallenge

Really excited to be back performing poetry with @Rhyming_orange at @themillerpub this Wednesday. It's our first show since lockdown and it's going to be so good facebook.com/events/s/rhyme…

"But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons." -Douglas Adams Hope you get to muck about and have a good time today.

Have a hitchikers quote. "... on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time..."

@RadioKate happy birthday, its always special to be at the one where you now know the meaning of Life the Universe and Everything.

@RadioKate @YunoJunoHQ Yes. It has been too long. What are the dates for twelfth night? I'm back from Monday

@athosfolk @YunoJunoHQ Thank you! Hope you’re well. It’s been too long! Outdoor Shakespeare at the end of the month? Twelfth Night this year

ZOMG! ZOMG! ZOMG! I’m a freelancer of the year! Thank you everyone who took the time to vote. I am grinning like an idiot! #FreelanceAwards Thanks @YunoJunoHQ

@SpaceKate Could be.

Ooh! Who’s in?

@MissDahlELama @bobpetesarah Saint Etienne's cover of Only Love Can Break Your Heart by @NeilYoung . Both beautiful songs. youtu.be/vZAajrxvDs4

Ok. I am slightly filled with rage at things that I don't have time to do a rage-y Twitter thread about right now because I have to work, but also struggling to work because I just want to SHOUT quite loudly (despite not generally liking to make a noise). Please send animal gifs.
