Early one this morning, thought I’d get a little maccies by way of sustenance. Imagine my joy, upon joining the M58 and setting off upon my way, to find that instead of a Double Sausage and Egg McMuffin I had instead been furnished with a bag of salt. What a treat @McDonalds

Yiss

All of the dumbest people I know believe shit they read on social media.

@elonmusk ‘when I tweeted’ says it all

Long day at Twitter HQ with eng team Two significant problems mostly addressed: 1. Fanout service for Following feed was getting overloaded when I tweeted, resulting in up to 95% of my tweets not getting delivered at all. Following is now pulling from search (aka Earlybird). When Fanout crashed, it would also destroy anyone else’s tweets in queue. 2. Recommendation algorithm was using absolute block count, rather than percentile block count, causing accounts with many followers to be dumped, even if blocks were only 0.1% of followers. Also, it’s trivial to bot spam accounts with blocks.

@Otto_English Don’t you mean ‘Popping.’

Breaking.

@brokenbottleboy Chinny reckon was big in Lincolnshire, wonder where else it was used

I’ve learned today that “chinny reckon” (and regional variants) seems to have died out as a playground thing sometime in the late-90s. Just me out here doing very important accidental ethnographic research.

@Rainmaker1973 Now imagine that is someone’s penis.

@GrumpyAgencyGuy The Beatles Wine Baths Wine whilst in a bath

What are things that are generally universally accepted as excellent and eulogised about by people and you just don’t *get*. I’ll start Land Rover Defenders Parquet flooring London

@That1teddygirl As a dad of a 6 year old, this isn’t something I’d dream of asking.

@jerrysaltz Aronofsky

Stanley Kubrick is - over the course of a lifetime of work - the greatest filmmaker. Hitchcock may be 2nd. Who else might be on this list? Tarantino? What one other director might go on this list.

Everything wrong with our politics, in one story: Hedge fund manager buys large estate on Dartmoor. Uses vast fortune to challenge the right to camp there. Wins. Local people call on their MP to amend the legislation. Discover he's been funded by the hedge fund manager.

@NoContextBrits Damp washing.

What do these taste like?

1. ABOUT LAST NIGHT I participated in a Twitter space hosted by @katienotopoulos w/a lot of journalists When I joined @jason, one of Musk's apparatchiks, was badgering @drewharwell, a suspended reporter, and Jack Sweeney, the guy behind the accounts that tracked jets 🧵

@Pandamoanimum @anthony_ward It’s like rubbish cake and/or rubbish bread.

@anthony_ward I know I’ll probably get a lot of hate for this, but I don’t really like Panettone. It’s just like really rubbish cake.

Just seen a thread about what people have for breakfast on Christmas Day and am a bit perplexed. You’re going to have an enormous lunch so why the big fancy breakfast? For breakfast you just eat your Selection Box, some Quality Street and maybe a bit of Chocolate Orange.

@HistoryInPics Such a brutal fight. The bike guy RIP

First ever recorded snowball fight (1897)

@maxter1976 @theJeremyVine Ok bot

No. No. Nooooooo— [From this morning's ride to work]

"WHO" "WHERE" "HOW" and now "WHY".

@leolzibub @brcguy @__femb0t You know for a fact, Elon declared he could design in better, and this is what they ended up with.

@brcguy @__femb0t Yeah it is. Goes to show you their design team was like “kinda like a ford fusion but since it doesn’t need a grill let’s add some extra bondo to the front”. Innovation at its finest.

Heartbreaking: The worst car you know made a great point 💔
