@SpannersReady How are you doing?
“Not too bad” = doing very well
“Still alive” = immensely happy
“Can’t complain” = just won the lottery

@theJeremyVine @RSPCA_official @UK_CAA @theroyalparks @insta360 Hard to believe anyone would fall for it but gosh there’s so many of them. Strange how so few of them delete or reply admitting their silliness. Sorry is the hardest word.

Because I've now apparently been reported to the Met, @RSPCA_official, the @UK_CAA & @theroyalparks, I should clarify that I was NOT flying a drone and no wildlife was involved. It was just an @insta360 camera. I wasn't ready for the level of flag-related anger.

WHAT THE HELL — using a drone for today's early cycle ride, and it got taken out by a hawk or red kite in HYDE PARK FFS. Smashed to bits, £400 gone in a second 🤬🤬🤬

@mehdirhasan People who use add the suffix “phobe” to something are invariably trying to close down debate, to censor freedom of speech. They’ve lost an argument or fear engaging.
“You’re something-phobic!”
That’s not a rebuttal. It’s cowardly.

For years I had to put up with inane Dawkins cultish fans insisting to me that Dawkins wasn’t an Islamophobe because he hated all religions equally.
Nope. He’s an Islamophobe. I was right.

"If I had to choose between Christianity and Islam, I'd choose Christianity every single time." Self-proclaimed 'cultural Christian', ＠RichardDawkins, tells @RachelSJohnson he's 'slightly horrified' to hear Ramadan lights were hung on Oxford Street rather than Easter lights.

@itsme_urstruly @AMAZlNGNATURE Cats are amazing. Baffling but amazing.

The average cat’s reaction time is approximately 20-70 milliseconds, which is faster than the average snake’s reaction time, 44-70 milliseconds.

@JohnAlanWilkin @eraiwo Good luck with pronouncing the nearby Trottiscliffe. 😉

@eraiwo Do you know where Gillingham is, and how to pronounce it? 😀

@ClarkAboveAll @mehdirhasan They’re both bad but Dawkins is talking about tea and crumpets Anglicanism which is objectively benign in 2024.
One can surely dislike the doctrine without disliking the adherents.
English
@jay_snowdon @mehdirhasan You really think fundamentalist Islam is worse than fundamentalist Christianity?
It wasn't Muslims who did the Holocaust

@GuffyNicola It’s just another way of getting pleasure from guilt. Not a healthy attitude to sex or anything really.
English
I think the ludicrous parallel being drawn here is between falling off a tight rope, - and accidentally ejaculating before you could withdraw and impregnating your wife.
McGuffin@GuffyNicola
@PacMaori @MitchBenn @o_guest Anyone who says having sex without contraception demonstrates the admirable self discipline and skills of a circus tight rope walker without safety equipment shouldn’t be saying anything about sex.

@ClarkAboveAll @GuffyNicola If he spoke and looked like Citizen Smith he wouldn’t have been so popular in the US. His brilliance with language gave him a lot of leeway.

@jay_snowdon @GuffyNicola Oh yeah and he was pro-Palestine even towards the end of his life.
He was still very left wing in ways that would make neocons squeamish LOL

@F1Imi @GuffyNicola All this having to be the best Christmas ever. Some of my best were because the people I was with were special. Can’t remember the gifts, decorations food or anything else.
English
@GuffyNicola @jay_snowdon Or people need to stop living up to the jones and just spend time with family with a modest meal. Isn’t Christmas about faith (for some) and family. When did it become so much about indulgence and gifts.

@jay_snowdon @GuffyNicola You celebrate Christmas for a month? Man you are hardcore! One day does it for me 😜🤣
English
@F1Imi @GuffyNicola 👍
Christmas, every day for a month, would definitely be the end of me.
English
@jay_snowdon @GuffyNicola In-laws and or stress of making it a perfect Christmas. More like over indulgence I guess 🤷🏽♀️

@ClarkAboveAll Yes, Giáp, of course. Looks uncannily like a young Mao who must also go down as a military genius for all his latter faults.
English
These are crimes against humanity and war crimes for multiple reasons.
Both because it's murdering civilians who pose no military threat of any kind.
And because it's enabling a forced displacement of millions of people.

According to @haaretzcom, the Israeli Army is saying 9,000 of the 32,000 killed in Gaza are terrorists. This is already noteworthy as the 9,000 is thousands lower than previous Israeli gov estimates. It gets worse: The Haaretz article indicates that, in classifying a dead Palestinian as a terrorist or civilian, "the question is not what he did but where he was killed." In other words, Israel appears to be practicing one of the major war crimes America engaged in during the Vietnam War: establishing 'free fire zones.' This tallies with other testimonial evidence and would explain all of the (bizarre) white flag shootings and other seemingly deliberate shootings of civilians. Thus, even the 9,000 terrorists figure is likely an exaggeration. The IDF is an utterly criminal enterprise, and its civilians to combatants ratio in this "war" is in all probability worse than that of the siege of Aleppo, which was 3:1.

@jay_snowdon I think Rommel and Guderian were both better generals than anything we had on the allies side
English
@ClarkAboveAll True but they hired and fired (often literally) much more speedily than we did. They ended up with what they needed.
Talking about our bad ones. Lloyd Fredendall was comically awful. 🫢
English
@jay_snowdon Hard to say. Zhukov was clearly their best general.
Soviet Union was pretty wasteful with lives though
English
@ClarkAboveAll Yes the more I study it I think I agree. Not as bad as WW1 maybe but not much better. Which makes sense as they were the product of the same structures. By necessity and circumstances could we say the Soviet Union had overall better generals than western allies?
English
@jay_snowdon My hot take is I think the allies didn't have particularly good army generals in WWII.
It was shear resources that won it
