No electricity, no food, no fuel for 1 million children. Straight from the horse's mouth. That can't be the civilised world's answer, whatever differences we may have on who did what to whom first or last.

This is exactly what late stage empires do.

@jimstewartson Jim is wrong. This is not a documentary about "aliens". It's actually about #homonaledi - a close human relative with a tiny brain who showed evidence of cultural behaviours previously thought to be the domain of humans. It's good science - nytimes.com/2023/07/17/mov…

It’s not a small thing that Netflix is selling comically obvious made up trash to tickle the fancy of the cult-curious. We did not come from aliens. There are no aliens visiting us. Encouraging magical thinking is not helpful.

You know @netflix there are lots of real things to sell documentaries about which are not pseudoscience about how we’re descended from aliens actually. What about my viewing history made you think I wanted to listen to this idiot?

@KnightofNi1 @jimstewartson @netflix Leave it in the queue - Jim is wrong. It's got nothing to do with aliens. Really interesting discoveries - a close human relative with a tiny brain that seems to have developed some cultural behaviours previously thought to be human-only.

@jimstewartson @netflix Booooo... I watched part of the preview the other day and thought it looked interesting. Didn't know the thing tried to link us to aliens. Guess I need to take that out of the queue.

@jimstewartson @netflix I'm sure @LeeRberger (who uttered those words in the film) would be happy to tell you what he thinks of "ancient alien" conspiracies. #Homonaledi #CaveofBones

@jimstewartson @netflix Hang on, I see what happened - you watched the trailer and jumped to conclusions when they said "They're not human". They are not human, but you're the only one saying they're aliens. They are actually a close human relative with a brain about the size of a chimp - so not human

You can tell Twitter Blue is a good product because the only two ways to get it is to pay for it or make the owner of Twitter so mad he buys it for you to punish you

The list of “unfriendly” countries designated by russia is almost identical to the list of countries where there is drinking tap water. You can make your own conclusions, but I think that russians just don’t like tap water.

I'd go even further. No individual alive or dead has done more to condemn future generations to a dystopian climate change ravaged planet. Climate denial, racism, bigotry and warmongering. The damage Murdoch has done to our world is immeasurable.

I don’t know what is scarier, the fact that atmospheric CO2 just hit the highest level in human history, or that it has gone close to completely unnoticed…

@akgardner97 @gradecricketer Australia is the only country on the planet whose national day is a celebration of its colonisation.

"The hardest of all is the name Aoife... For those unsure, it is pronounced “ee-fa”, unhelpfully almost nothing like its spelling" Great news @thetimes Aoife IS pronounced *exactly* like it's spelt because of this crazy thing called OTHER LANGUAGES THAT AREN'T ENGLISH.

i never tire of this clip from 1999 .. he wasn’t wrong!

Remembering a time many years ago when a crow died and fell onto my driveway. Their family were gathered and calling. I moved the deceased to a peaceful place under a tree and laid a flower beside them. Several times over the next few weeks I found a flower on my doorstep.

Two drivers in Ireland settled a recent parking dispute with a friendly game of Rock, Paper, Scissors — and the losing motorist went right on their way. If only all traffic spats could be settled this peacefully!

Twitter will be the first website to leave a ghost, a massive specter entangling the globe, crackling like electric milk at the surface of every screen; but not the last
