@ParentPay hello. I have both of my children set up to pay their lunch via auto top up. For the last month it has been failing. Please fix this.

@GeniePointEV hi, I used one of your charging points and I can see two charges to my card for £35 and £30.98. I charged approximately 30kwh, is this the expected price?

@anon_opin They are cheap. I still don't use them because they are horrifyingly unreliable.

Buses should be free to use, or at least unreasonably cheap, and be paid for by people who insist on driving cars.

@SP1nightonly What a brilliant idea! I'd like them, for no other reason than the main thing I've enjoyed about all those series was their sublime script writing

My lovely #InsideNo9 script books have arrived and after a challenging week I want to donate one to a deserving fan. Tell me why it's you (or someone you love... or really dislike) and I'll choose a lucky recipient. Anyone undeserving can order their own bit.ly/IN9SCRIPTS

@anon_opin Simultaneously?

Learning to swim, cook and drive are the main fundamental life skills. If you can't do all three, without a very good reason, you've failed as an adult.

@agentselfNSA I mean, this is partially true. Given the volume of sales to America, some international suppliers might be willing to take a hit to their bottom line. They may absorb a portion of the tariff.

@SkylerforNY This is gonna be hilarious if America does this at the same time as applying huge tariffs to imported food.

@BRICSinfo Hahahaha, it's amazing how many people think ping is cowed by trump. He's not asking for peace, he's politely saying he's going to invade Taiwan and you had better not start any shit.

JUST IN: 🇨🇳🇺🇸 China says it hopes for a "peaceful coexistence" with the United States. "We respect the choice of the American people."

@jonburkeUK That smells like gone off milk

I firmly believe the rot set in this country when we started building municipal and public buildings like this. Grand architecture creates grand-minded people; mean architecture creates mean-minded people.

@SoozyStone @RussInCheshire

@ceilingfish @RussInCheshire Until he changes the law or does away with elections altogether and makes himself President for life.

@PaulbernalUK You do realise that if he's considered mentally unfit then JD Vance becomes president.... Is that better?

It's the economy, stupid.

@Cowpat_No_9 @anthfin I still think Brexit takes it, as it was such an explicit act of self harm. Trump will likely cause foreign wars, but America _might_ prosper 🤷

@anthfin Ok…fair comment…but the global impact of their stupidity is greater than the ‘relatively local’ impact of Brexit.

If Trump gets elected, does that make the US the most stupid country to have ever existed?

@_joebelcher Did £40,000,000,000 in tax not convince you of any socialist tendencies on their part?

Where are all the "Labour will move to the left once they're in government" people these days?

@1arm0cares Someone tried to schedule a call with me at 6:30am, at 2:09am

This morning someone tried to schedule a Zoom meeting at 9:00 by inviting me at 8:49. Girl, bye.

@Dcednz @agraybee There absolutely is.

You know what, I don't want the guy popping open my chest to have a well-rounded life, I want him to be a surgery obsessive who never thinks about anything else.

@JayneMoobs Took me over a month to get a refund for a four hour delay. Over a month.

I now carry a Northern Rail ‘delay repay’ QR code with me & work through the carriage getting people to scan it and apply for their refund. I’m sick of us all being ripped off by our expensive, unreliable, not fit for purpose train provider Not all heroes wear capes you know 🦹🏼‍♀️

@DanMedvedev6 @ThomasTalhelm How fascinating to see the huge disparity between Japan and china. I ignorantly assumed they would be quite similar based on their work ethics.

Wow, since a brief tweet by @ThomasTalhelm to promote our APS symposium gathered well over a million views in a day, I thought I’d respond to a few questions and comments about the task & the graph, both of which are a part of my PhD dissertation:

@Factsofw0rld What about if you eat it from the centre outward?

A pizza is a real time pie chart of how much pizza is left.
