Metronomes started randomly synchronize after a short period of time as they influence each other through the side-to-side motion of their shared base, a mechanical realization of the mathematical "Kuramoto model".

@fantasticdrfox After a long day's travel we once absolutely nailed a very difficult Bach cantata with a little more energy than Gustav Leonhardt wanted. He later apologised if we'd misunderstood when he publicly accused the trumpets of purposely wrecking his concert

A French teacher dies upholding the values of the Republic, shared through education. What are those of the UK? A lying mask of 'you can be anything' barely concealing 'know your place'.

@MarinaHyde They conspire with the local squire and the BNP rump from the pub to have Mendax elected as mayor, to avoid the council asking tricky questions. But then the trouble starts … Week after week of amusing episodes, especially the one where all the pets start dying.

@MarinaHyde Jizzmark, Halfcock, Petal and Grave - perfect extras in Shakespeare or a new sitcom: a bunch of provincial estate agents at a Churchill karaoke party band together to flog a dodgy aspirational development off-plan. They elect as their leader the one with GCSE Latin (Max Mendax).

Did I just hear tory MP Tom Tugendhat object to regimes that put party survival above national interest? #toryhypocrisy #bbcwoto

@sarahkhg But contributing to viral behaviour is uncool. I bet Klopp respects radical running styles

This, @JonathanImpett will amuse you and give you something to discuss with Tom. Etiquette says you have to like this, my tweet to you in case I look like a loser.

If I ever met Jurgen Klopp I’d say “omg if we have a baby we should call it Klipp” just so he’d raise an eyebrow at me and tell me I’m a moron and I’d be so naked by the time he’d finished doing that.

@Conservatives @BorisJohnson If conservatives are happiest with the language of war - surrender, collaboration - perhaps they would care to find some uninhabited island and fight themselves there. War is the condition the EU was set up to avoid. #Conservatives are now #theenemywithin.

@lewis_goodall This isn't the first democracy, it's the last feudal country, owned largely by people who inherited it for no good reason. Most kept in relative poverty with restricted access to education, health or truth. Any semblance of social democracy sold off. theguardian.com/money/2019/apr…

Today the world watched as, in secret, with no warning, members of a secretive body travelled to see the Queen to suspend parliament at a time of deep political controversy, largely because it suits the government.
This was all within the rules. That’s probably worth pondering.

@guardian I thought the tory argument for mps having multiple jobs is their independence - no need to slavishly follow the leader for their professional advancement. We'll see

@BBCJonSopel An opportunity. Sell the 'great' in GB to Trump. We'd be better off without it - it leads to much misconception. He'd pay enough that we could no longer deny being able to afford social democracy.

Damn! I was thinking by now, and after all this time, he couldn't make my jaw go slack in amazement. So meeting called off with Danish PM because she won't sell him Greenland. Of course....
Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump
Denmark is a very special country with incredible people, but based on Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen’s comments, that she would have no interest in discussing the purchase of Greenland, I will be postponing our meeting scheduled in two weeks for another time....

Roots in a feudal system,sense of god-given entitlement.From 2010 willful destruction of a once-modernising society, promoting base values, shortening thousands of lives.Spawned a delusional messianic leader surrounded by dangerous extremists.#BanEton as a terrorist organisation?

Trump may soon be able to refer to the leader of the UK as #lyin'boris. In our fine new world he'll mean it as a compliment
