@HadrianMusic @MickWest @scienceisstupid "Lately"? I saw them as a young child in the early 1960s, from airliners over London. I asked my Dad, an RAF bomber navigator, and he explained them to me. During WW2, bomber raids routes were planned to avoid leaving the masses of persistent contrails otherwise seen.

@MickWest @scienceisstupid I know what we're talking about, the ease at which chentrails are brushed off as contrails when it's obvious what we are seeing in the sky above us of late is not that latter . I'm sorry but I've never seen an abundance of persistent 'contrails' like this in my lifetime

RFK Jr. is rumored as a possible replacement for J. D. Vance. RFK is well known for his vaccine conspiracy theories, but did you know he also thinks chemtrails are real because he once hung out with Woody Harrelson when there was high upper-air humidity?

@toryboypierce @RachelReevesMP You mean the crash that affected countries about the world, caused by rightwing "deregulators" removing any limits on their profit-seeking irresponsible friends in finance capitalism? Including people like Richi Sunak?

Chancellor @RachelReevesMP claims Tories left finances in worst state since second world war. Has she forgotten crash on Labour’s watch on 2008

@markjenk Oh dear! It looks as if common sense has broken out.

@kurkkio @MickWest @MRCinco96 I see why you ask that, but Carl Sagan was right; “But I try not to think with my gut. If I'm serious about understanding the world, thinking with anything besides my brain, as tempting as that might be, is likely to get me into trouble.”

@MickWest @MRCinco96 @MickWest , if you disregard being level headed and sceptic, and so on - what is your gut feeling about this and all other UFO stuff that is going around? 🙂

I look forward to Corbell's take on the analysis of the balloon-like Jellyfish. But in the meantime, for a level-headed and unedited interview with Michael Cincoski (@MRCinco96), check out this episode of The PiFi show from just three days ago: youtube.com/watch?v=uKkbw4…

@Pathfinder4545 @hemantmehta I really, really suggest that you read, first the Christian article cited, then the sympathetic atheist comment on it.

@hemantmehta Atheist: Wait till those racist Evangelicals find out that Jesus wasn't white, he was a brown skinned Middle Easterner. He was a JEW! Xtian: Yeah. We all know that. We're good with it. Atheist: Jesus was wasn't white! He was Asian! Xtian: He was a Jew. Atheist: RACISTS!

An article in a Christian publication said Jesus was Asian because he was born in Bethlehem. A bunch of conservatives are *very upset* about that. friendlyatheist.com/p/christians-a…

@CBNNews In what insane world are "Jewish" and "asian" mutually exclusive?

'Christianity Today' Draws Ire for Erasing Jesus' Jewish Origins Claiming He's 'Asian' www2.cbn.com/news/us/christ…

@DTheKingpin @mikerussellatl Cite me the Bible verses that state that Bethlehem was in Europe or Africa?

@mikerussellatl I mean is it too much to ask for a publication called Christianity Today to be biblically accurate? 😂

I’m sure this blatant attempt to erase Jesus Christ’s Jewish heritage has NOTHING to do with today’s geopolitical affairs. I’m SURE this is just innocent. 🙄 Jesus is a middle eastern Jew. We know where the Middle East is but you’re trying to be slick. biblegateway.com/passage/?searc…

@mikerussellatl @DTheKingpin I agree. People who believe that European extended through present day Turkey, Lebanon and Syria into Israel? And that saying that Jesus (or anyone) is not European is an insult? Unbelievable.

@DTheKingpin I am learning to ignore those who have lost touch with reality. Seems most are just seeking the attention they didn’t get from their mama. Also makes you wonder who raised them.

@RobSmith_Munich @DTheKingpin @mikerussellatl Are you crazy? We have to imagine that Jesus was European or we are anti Jewish? And anti white?

@DTheKingpin @mikerussellatl They were co-opted years ago. My dad was a missionary working with believers behind the Iron Curtain and they downplayed the plight of Christians and Jews back then. Sad.

@DTheKingpin Yes we do know where the middles east is. It is on the border of Asia (Lebanon, Syria, Turkey blending the edge of Europe/Asia) and North Africa. Europe not so far away, but not contiguous.

@CarmineSabia So. Which continent do you believe Bethlehem was in 2000 year ago. Europe, Asia or Africa? But Turkey, north and West of Bethlehem straddles the edge of Europe and Asia. Africa makes more sense, given that Eqypt borders it. But the obvious answer is Asia.

Ok in the past week I have seen Our Lord and Savior Jesus being referred to as Palestinian, which no one has ever said until recently, and now Asian?

@ClarkeMicah @CosmicSkeptic Given Hitchen's unjustified accusations, and declaration that he was going to attack Alex o'Connor on Twitter, he was right to publish the full discussion. Hitchens is bitter that "nobody listens" to him. He might watch his behaviour in this video and consider why that might be.

Having cup of tea to recover from attempted ‘interview’ with .@cosmicskeptic Alex O’ Connor, having slogged across London by bike to be bored for almost an hour by unoriginal questions about ….drugs. Nothing else. Just drugs. Walked out.

@ClarkeMicah @CosmicSkeptic I cannot remember the last time I saw a more measured, rational and courteously conducted interview on a controversial topic, online or elsewhere. Alex o'Connor treated Peter Hitchens with respect, even in the face of rudeness.

@ClarkeMicah @CosmicSkeptic Almost seems churlish to mention this, but while Hitchens complains about "an hour", it was actually 42 minutes when he stormed off camera. The interviewer suggested 60-90 minutes on 2 topics, where is the bad faith?

@PhysInHistory "... much earlier than expected by chance..." Which, ironically, is how truly random numbers are. When people fake random sequences, they make them too evenly distributed, and never use a string like 999999. I remember reading about a teacher who was caught faking exam results

The Feynman point is the name given to the position in the decimal expansion of π where a sequence of six consecutive nines first appears. It is named after the physicist Richard Feynman, who allegedly joked that he would like to memorize the digits of pi up to that point and then say “and so on” as if π. were rational. The Feynman point occurs at the 762nd digit after the decimal point, which is much earlier than expected by chance.

@jayne_heidi @PhilC273 Remember Brian Redhead presented "World at One" for years. Tory MPs etc often complained about his "leftwing bias". After his death, it was revealed that he was a card-carrying longtime member of his local Conservative Party branch.

@PhilC273 I believe the #BBC need to look at themselves in the mirror! They do nothing but support the left wing, they are not an impartial establishment.

Absolutely ridiculous. The BBC has completely lost the plot

@ejrosetta "1785   T. Jefferson Notes Virginia vi. 118   I only mean to suggest a doubt,..whether nature has enlisted herself as a Cis- or Trans-Atlantic partisan" Source: one example centuries in the OED. Derived from latin meaning "on this side of" So, only out by about 2000 years...

Many words have Trans in them. Transport, translate, transcribe etc But Cis? Before recently it was only used in one word before it was hailed as “How To Describe Not-Trans People” A cistern. Ya know, that thing in a toilet They’re comparing biological women to toilets. Lovely

@Kipsleyanne @MickWest The originator of the Simulation Hypothesis (which I reject) has written an excellent book on the AI threat; SUPERINTELLIGENCE Paths, Dangers, Strategies NICK BOSTROM Director, Future of Humanity Institute, University of Oxford

@MickWest This does apparently feed into the common "Are we living in a simulation?" theory. Many would agree that in around 100 years or so from now, the tech will exist where w could "live out our lives" online in our fav video game or alternate reality....

I tried to warn you! dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-ne…

@McDegenGrill @MickWest @travisstaylor1 @theblackvault "Twinkle twinkle, Little Star, How I wonder what you are.." Stars twinkle because of the scintillation effects of the atmosphere. Then we film them with cameras aperture shapes, and different frame rates. These interact to cause some interesting effects.

@MickWest @travisstaylor1 Here's how he described it on @theblackvault The object in the video blinks. So Capella strobes now? When did that start happening? youtu.be/cAhDY7biYxM?t=…

A triangular aperture in a night vision device will make an out-of-focus star take on the same triangular shape. Notice the curves of the iris blades match the official Navy video. They thought it was a flying triangle. It's Capella, and it's the bokeh effect @travisstaylor1

@FullFact I have often thought that false statements by ministers in their official capacity capacity should count as perjury, carrying the full penalties in law that lying to a court entails. An exception for genuine public safety/security, subject to in camera checking of exception.

Ipsos’ latest survey on trust makes for grim reading. When barely 1 in 10 of us trusts politicians to tell the truth, it’s obvious that something has to change. ✍️ Help us fight for change and stand up for honesty 👉 actions.fullfact.org/petitions/mps-…
