After a bogus trial, Amal was just convicted to death by stoning for adultery. With a massive global outcry we can help save her life, and help halt the rollback of women’s rights in Sudan. Sign & RT: fb.avaaz.org/campaign/en/sud…
Can artificial intelligence really help us talk to the animals? theguardian.com/science/2022…

I've just read "Slave Ship" by @FrederikPohl, published in 1957 in which he explores the drive to gain an understanding of animal language. Maybe #AI can eventually attain the communication skills of @DrDoolittle so that we can speak to our fellow inhabitants of #PlanetEarth.
Thanks to @WillIng9 for writing up our Astely Estate project for @lb_southwark in the @ArchitectsJrnal this week. I caught up with the Residents Project Group on site yesterday, who are as excited about the positive impact of the scheme as we are! architectsjournal.co.uk/news…

Update on my ⁦@SpaceXStarlink⁩. Pretty good most of the time and saving me a lot of hassle on my photo project retrieving pictures from iCloud.
My StarLink youtu.be/DYDTfn_mLNI via @YouTube @OpenReach so far refuse to connect our house to fibre, so I have been delighted to get the @SpaceXStarlink system to see whether it will save me from going nuts waiting for photo downloads or #Netflix freezes. Check my YouTube.
Amazing to see an #Osprey at @CowdrayGolf. I guess it finds fish in the ponds. Very early #Migrant !

I’m sad that my #LeCreuset handle rusted through and came off. Can ⁦@LeCreusetUK⁩ help repair my lovely pan?

Exciting #Brexit News! At last; cheaper roses, corks and pistachios (in shells). Pity that half our trade will be subject to #WTO tariffs. No preferential fiddling with tariffs under #WTO rules. Ease one for EU imports and it’s eased for the whole world! #Revolt to #Remain!
Much better #CovidVaccine #strategy to #inoculate #teachers so that students at #school and #University can carry on without sending everyone home receptions someone in the class test positive!
Great News! Just watched #BBCNews to hear that, although most prices will go up dramatically after #Brexit, the government will reduce #taxes on #dishwashers. At last! It’s all been worth it!

#WhatIsThat?! Strange boat seen on the Fal River in #Cornwall.
#bbcyourquestions the government fails to compare the COVID trends with the normal winter flu onset. We need to judge the Covid figures in the context of our normal rates of death from influenza. It could be that we should let people under 60 crack on with life as normal.
