CW: #Mastodon 😁 I moved. Things I'm still checking Twitter for.@BVG_Tram updates. Irl friends who haven't decamped (yet?) But I can now waste as much time reading Toots as I used to reading Tweets. And I am presented with less rage-inducing content. And no ads.

@atrupar Aa. A

Mike Lawler on Trump possibly running for a third time: "As a Republican, I and many would not be open to the idea of Barack Obama running for a third term. So I think folks have to be careful here."

I don't know, does retweeting an official Twitter support tweet count as advertising platforms like FB, insta, mastodon? Which are all excellent and terrible platforms.

Just a test to see if I can still post my @Ed_Rial@universeodon.com handle.

The commentators I cared about have mostly moved. The bots I follow for timeline cleansing are moving. Would like to see a few more journalists move over, but the @BylineTimes stable is there. Plenty of Physics/science people there. Will workplace/institutional accounts move?

@seis_matters I mean, I actually ran more during lunch breaks when I was at the office than at home. (It's lost its appeal since they turned the hot water off in the office showers here) 🥶

@tomhfh Probably because they also need to eat. Do you ever wonder why American doctors who have taken the Hippocratic Oath refuse to see patients without insurance?

I just don’t understand how anyone who has taken their Hippocratic oath could walk out on their own patients over the matter of money.

@dgurdasani1 Amazing news and all the best for you and your family! You haven't let anybody down, you have to look after yourself and your family first and foremost. Thank you for all your work.

I'm continuing to follow the situation in the UK (and now in Australia as well), and the more I see, the more I feel like we made the right decision - however painful it might have been.

I know lots of people have been asking why I haven't been on social media much. I've been meaning to explain for a while, but wanted a few weeks to myself, before sharing this to brace against the inevitable attacks & harassment that will likely follow from this thread.🧵

@cascais26 @20PercentBerlin @mauricetfrank @WIRED @tazgezwitscher @rbb24 You wait until the school Ccs all parents into an email... 🤣

@20PercentBerlin @mauricetfrank @WIRED @tazgezwitscher @rbb24 Living here for 5 years and still don't understand how germans are super worried about data privacy and then we all have our names at the door, so that everyone knows who lives where 🙄

Rules discriminate against foreign 🇪🇺EU nationals at Berlin bureaucracies and 🚗Tesla can't find enough workers. Today's 20 Percent from @mauricetfrank ! Link in comments! News from: ➡️ @WIRED ➡️ @tazgezwitscher ➡️ @rbb24

@davidchscott @JolyonMaugham @Kit_Yates_Maths In Germany having photo identification is mandatory from 16, and, crucially, only costs 20 ish quid. There would be much less of an issue if this was the situation in the UK, but it isn't.

@JolyonMaugham @Kit_Yates_Maths Agree with that but in Germany you can’t vote without ID.

@professor_dave Welcome back! You've been missed!

Just to let you know that after 21 days and endless difficulty getting any sort of response from Twitter, I now have my account back, which was hacked and hijacked. Thanks to all who reported, and for all the supportive emails. Not sure how much I'll use this now, but it *is* me

@drheaddamage Glad to hear it 😊

@drheaddamage Third one wiped me out the following day this time round. Don't plan on being too productive tomorrow! But yes, remarkable hire empty the centres are now

@drheaddamage I mean, it *sounds* like a pythonpath issue... But I'm guessing you've been round that loop a few times?

@drheaddamage I honestly wish more scientists cared about workflow.

@etta_collier @AdamRutherford I came here to say this. It's a beautiful game. It's also fine single player!

@AdamRutherford Unravel Two (great co-op two player) & Untitled Goose Game

Non-obvious recommendations for Switch games for an 8 year old (girl) please. (i.e. not Zelda, Dance 22, Animal Crossing).

@nils_schuth I'll bring these the next time you're in town for a coffee break 🤣

I now know all the names of the Paw Patrol dogs. Is this a transferable skill? #AltAc #ParentalSkills

@DrHorrell Wiggler

A... Wiggler?

@WyndhamWallace @BestForBritain Yes. It's very annoying

@BestForBritain It's the same in Germany, I'm afraid.

Without immigration, the trains wouldn’t run, businesses wouldn’t function and the NHS wouldn’t exist. We will not end cheap labour by dividing workers and belittling migrants’ contribution. We introduce a £15 min wage, end zero-hours contracts & back striking workers instead.

@i_jayas @BVG_Tram Pile-ondex?
