This is why it’s so hard to have a conversation on here. No interest in actually finding out my views or sharing their own. Just assumption followed by condemnation followed by blocking. Sad state of affairs for internet discourse.

The coverage of the @Olympics on @BBCiPlayer is so thin! I can see there’s about 6 different events going on but there’s only ever coverage of 2 at the same time. Is that all you can handle BBC? Or just can’t be bothered?
Good to see @davidflatman on comms again. He was excellent last week. Come on England!

It’s time to hand in my body armour after 30+ years covering conflict for the BBC. How have our ways of surviving on the battlefield evolved? Here’s a bumper 🧵

Still nosing through last night’s images. I am guessing this was a passing plane that I caught.

Is this still the best on-screen depiction of skeleton warriors?

Went to Oxford yesterday, whoever is in charge of the roads clearly didn’t go to the university

I think you’re right+ I’m wrong. I’m going to stay on Twitter for now. But I have deep concerns about the algorithm-I think something has happened to stop people with progressive politics reaching wider audiences.
If you oppose NHS privatisation, RT this. Let’s see if I’m right!

I really don’t understand how a regressive, homophobic, racist bunch of murderers and rapists got to be poster boys for the progressive left.

Wow, a 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian paint box containing its original pigments!
(Looks similar to a modern-day set!)
The preserved cake pigments are red (red ochre), blue (Egyptian blue), green (a mixture of Egyptian blue, yellow ochre, and orpiment) and two of black (carbon black, from charcoal).
An inscription on the wooden paint box tells us it belonged to Amenemope, who was Vizier during the reign of king Amenhotep II. As a member of the elite, he would have used it for painting for leisure.

I’m worried about a narrative that has been developing and I want to put this out there:
1. You can be pro-Israel and still care about people dying in Palestine.
2. You can be pro-Palestine and care about the terror in Israel and releasing hostages.
Both can be true.

I've been conflicted about posting this so early, but it's not going to get anymore "done" so here it is. My #armiesonparade entry for this year, The Daughters of Change, corrupted Adeptus Sororitas.

Just because I only ever see criticism of refs @kdickson9 I think you did an incredible job today. Mental situation to be in, most people would have absolutely crumbled.
