I plunge people into darkness, take them far from the familiar safety of home, make spots move before their eyes, and show them how utterly insignificant they are. They might feel like throwing up.

@ozalba It was hacked. I had to work to get access again and now I’m cleaning it up but it is taking time to go through every page.

@DrPhiltill don't know if you'll see this, but has your blog been hacked? I wanted to send a colleague to your thoughts about Pluto's planetary status, and saw this.

@STEcopywriting I was killed in a car wreck, on the way to a construction site, where I was also killed. Do I get twice the compensation? And can you look into insurance cover against being killed a third time?

@KevinAstrokev @elonmusk ...have to sign up for to be able to post there, and others are open to all. Have a look, and let me know if you have any questions. It's still a work in progress, but will be pretty familiar to any Twitter user. Here's the feeds I subscribe to. "Following" is the folk u follow.

I'm probably not alone here, but I've blocked around 100 bots similar to this over the last 2-3 days. Bloody annoying What's going on @elonmusk

@SpencerHowson It's thinking about things like only one more orbit of Saturn, or probably never seeing Uranus return to the starfield I observed it in, in my youth, or how many more solar sunspot cycles I'll have. Seeing Halley again is a long shot: I'll be 102 next time.

@toomanyspectra There's Alan Heavens at UCL. And Charlie Telesco, who I assume doesn't do PE... On the other hand, I knew of two different sets of Holmes and Watson that shared offices, but none was in the business of criminal detection.

@GraellsiaMoon I feel your pain. My wife shriek sneezes. Apparently, she gets no warning it's coming, whereas I'll usually have a fully orchestrated overture combined on occasion with interpretive dance.

Listen. I am one of the most happily married people you know. My husband is gorgeous. Brilliant. Funny. Kind. The whole package. Except he scream sneezes and I have to fight the urge for violence each time.

@carlyfindlay My sis-in-law reportedly had to confirm, at multiple NDIS reviews, that her daughter still had Down Syndrome.

@MarcDavenant I'd be thinking something like a wooden doorknob, drilled out to hold the pin loosely.

If you're 28+, you were born closer to the first moon landing than to the present day If you're 40+, you were born closer to the end of World War Two than to the present day If you're 53+, you were born closer to the end of World War One than to the present day

@ozalba It was 4pm and I was leaving a university building... even if I thought someone was drunk I'd ask if they were ok!

I just tripped over, just walking, in a very public place. Not one single person asked me if I was ok, the 20 odd witnesses completely ignored me, except one random woman who did a kind of disgusted “tut” said “oh god” and rolled her eyes like me falling wrecked her day.

@DrEmmaBeckett Presumably she suspected you of public inebriation. I tripped once, while jogging across a road. By pure good fortune I was able to turn it into a perfect rolling tumble, and continued my jog as if nothing had happened. A round of applause would have been nice 😄

@martintype That's odd: I've got a notification that someone else has joined with it. Maybe they saw it above, and just swiped it, which is shitty. You'd better follow me here, so I can DM another one, which I did donate to a list, but seems unused yet.

@ozalba Hi Duncan, I think I might've left it a bit too long as it isn't accepted. Don't suppose you have another? Cheers!
