In terms of traditional folk music, Scotland has the best songs, Ireland the best tunes, and England the best dances. I have researched this extensively.

You're only 29,

@cryptosocdem @johnandi @FeyeraBender That is what my diagram says ;)

@mikefloorstand @johnandi @FeyeraBender But in this election I think the columns should be identical. Given that a Labour government will continue all of the horrible trends, surely an accelerationist wanting to totally destroy the credibility of elections ought to help them win by as big a landslide as possible.

@cldm_ish Dirty Ari.

@yung_lacanian Tremelo sex drive.

@johnandi @FeyeraBender I don't think I can make it any clearer!

@mikefloorstand @FeyeraBender Bring on the accelerant, and get the bastards out.

@Sorrowscopes Same as every other week then.

@SnoozeInBrief I think 29 might be the error code. Does pressing the reset button to the left of the pressure dial do anything?

Anyone have any idea how to get this boiler working again? The pressure dial had dropped and I've topped it up again, but taps and radiators still cold. Button on left that looks like power does nothing

@FeyeraBender And while some things may conceivably get worse for workers under Labour, one might think even more things would, under a continuation of the current Tories, get even worser.

@FeyeraBender The opportunity cost of voting is minimal though - it will take you 10 mins to vote. That 10 mins will not be critical to the success of organising yourself into a communist party.

@AlanLevinovitz Isn't biodiversity generally "good" regardless of whether it's "natural" though? At least, I don't think you can argue that an example of biodiversity is "bad" simply because it was created "unnaturally".

I think there’s a very interesting relationship between the terms/metaphors we associate with “good” natural systems: diverse, stable, healthy, etc. They vary from culture to culture, depending on the values people hold. (“Safe,” for example, or “accessible.”)

Biodiversity is a very common but flawed measure of a “healthy” or “natural” ecosystem. Classic example is Antarctica: Biodiversity there is largely due to humans bringing in other species. We could inflate biodiversity artificially (and in other areas as well, like deserts).

Apprentic candidates should form a union so they can take industrial action if anyone gets fired unfairly.

@philosophybites @Humanists_UK No representation without episcopation!

It’s an absurd anachronism that we have 26 bishops in the House of Lords. Definitely time things changed! ⁦@Humanists_UK⁩ humanists.uk/2024/02/01/wou…

@lastpositivist Maybe Nth-generation descendants of black Caribbeans, who no longer self-id with that ethnicity?

In U.K. national statistics re ethnicity for black peoples you are asked if you are black African, black Caribbean, or any other black background. There is a separate section for mixed ethnicity. Question: who ticks other for that? Is it mixed African/Caribbean parentage?

@katebevan @DrSdeG Should have a hollow sound if you tap it underneath?

This is an absolutely perfect loaf

They should train AI to identify valid arguments and then have an option so I can choose not to see tweets containing logical fallacies.
