🧵Here's a thread about an obscure economic theory from a century and a half ago, which is about to become a MASSIVE deal. ⚡️It helps explains why tackling climate change is going to be v v hard. Some say impossible. The story begins with this building👇

@didlawkaren @legalhackette Agree 100% on 1, 3 & 4 so very much looking forward to trying 2!

@legalhackette 1. Tanqueray 0. It’s the best non gin gin IMO. Love the fake G&T. 2. Pentire Coastal Spritz also with tonic or soda. If you like Aperol or Campari. A sour cocktail. 3. Lucky Saint is the best of the 0 beers. Bavarian brewed. 4. Guinness 0. I’ve tasted loads & these ones win.

I’ve given up booze for Lent - any suggestions for drinkable non-alcoholic wines, champagnes or gins would be most welcome.

This is a thread of phrases similar to “a few sandwiches short of a picnic” from around the world, starting with this one… There’s a colourful old Swedish idiom that goes hjulet snurrar men hamstern är död. It means “the wheel is spinning but the hamster is dead”

@cruellacivil Recollection of *exactly* this exchange in con. Different case, same expert perhaps. Or maybe it's a trend.

Cross examination of accident reconstruction expert on his opinion of a car’s speed. Q: “So all we have is your word for it?” Expert: “Yes, it’s based on my experience” Q: “You say ‘I’m very experienced and this is my view’?” Expert: “Pretty much” Judge:🤦‍♀️ Barristers:🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

My better half's exciting new project: Book(ish), a newsletter & bookclub with reviews, recommendations and i/v's. 1st newsletter hot off the press: natashap.substack.com/p/the-thing-ab…

@P_Lorence Ouch. Good to see you back on the bike, though.

Developing a new level of empathy for my clients after this morning’s incident. Although this is perhaps taking client care skills development a step too far? Driver duly reported to the police - hugely efficient service by @NYorksPolice already.
