@Inevitablewest As everybody who knows anything about Germany knows, CDU (standing everywhere but not in Bavaria) and CSU (standing only in Bavaria) are always counted together. In case you need help: 22+7=29, that’s more than 23. Just in case this was actually posted in good faith.

@MartinDaubney The equivalent to a mosque is a church, not a Christmas market. Hard to believe I have to explain that.

TIME FOR A CRASH COURSE IN REALITY? The media & politicians continually obsess with the mythical "Far Right" So why are there no anti-terror crash barriers at mosques? Yet they are now a shameful part & parcel of every Christmas market in Europe?

@BritLad95 Would you also agree that you should be able to speak Welsh if you live in Wales?

@jongaunt @Keir_Starmer No. I’ve seen a petition to revoke article 50 and remain in the EU with >6 million signatures. It accomplished nothing.

This petition about a General Election is interesting. I normally take the view that these petitions are about as much use as a chocolate fireguard BUT....this feels a bit different to me. If the numbers get into millions then @Keir_Starmer has a problem. Do you agree?

@jimfinnis Do you have ambitions? I've heard that the term of the current HoD ends later this year, so there should be an opening in the not too distant future...

@douglasbulloch @thenickpepper @nationaltrust I would call it 'moderately sneaky', having 'you should be a member of the National Trust' followed by 'sign up at restoretrust'. There is a community note now which clarifies it, making it more clear.

@thenickpepper @nationaltrust It’s not a sneaky ad. It’s entirely clear. Restore Trust want people to join the NT in order to restore trust by voting in a new board. They have a lot of public support. But the Dir of Comms is clearly opposed to their campaign, and uses her position to denigrate them.

@BogdanFilipic People with editorial responsibilities for journals really should look out for this and make responsible decisions.

Sadly, all too many "novel" metaphor-based metaheuristics are still being published. Just some recent examples: doi.org/10.1016/j.knos… doi.org/10.1016/j.asoc… doi.org/10.1016/j.asoc… doi.org/10.1016/j.enga… doi.org/10.1016/j.enga… doi.org/10.1007/s42235… doi.org/10.1038/s41598…

To those who still invent metaphor-based heuristics (e.g. arxiv.org/abs/2310.04020): This time has passed and no serious journal will publish such works link.springer.com/article/10.100…

1) In 2015 Sorensen said that the tsunami of #metaheuristics threatens the rigour of research in this area. 2) & 3) Just a few of the algorithms (the tip of the iceberg). Not sure about you, but I feel that there are too many metaheuristic algorithms. buff.ly/44vawnQ
