My contempt for this place's owner has finally outstripped my inherent laziness, so I'm set up over at the blue place. Will gradually find you all over there I guess.

Ppl on both sides saying you’ll never understand someone’s vote when you start from completely different worldview which I get, but hasn’t it always been like that? Weren’t we always in bubbles of community and work? So why does it seem so much worse rn? Just that we see it more?.

In a tutorial today I asked students to think how they’d model what would happen if a water company dumped a load of pollution into Derwent reservoir. Obvs highly unlikely example* but great to see them thinking how to apply maths to real world. * Actually very likely indeed

I’ve stat-attacked the postseason to predict World Series winners (teams scored by Elo rankings from season’s results, then simulated 25,000 postseasons). Sadly (as a Giants fan) Dodgers are favourites, but looking hopeful for Tigers @graham_northrup @MLBEurope @MLBUKCommunity

As did everyone, Liz, thanks to your hero, Thatcher.

Sucks that @MLBEurope @MLB isn’t making tonight’s last ever game in Oakland @Athletics the free game of the day. But then guess they’d have to face up to their leadership’s role in allowing this farcical move to go through. #RootedInOakland Oakland #SellTheTeam.

End of my 2nd full season of baseball. Big thanks to all @SheffBruins @BladerunnersBC and @MANCBASEBALL for setting up development league. Great bunch of ppl. A broken finger, weather and team numbers occasionally got in way, but happy to finish with a .200 average and .467 OBP.

I don’t want to take the credit for the result or anything but I did use vindaloo spice mix in our tea so….

Looks to me like you can now walk from Holy Island to Portland Island without setting foot in Conservative territory. If only one Borders constituency and one in Devon had also rejected Tories could have done Land's End to John O'Groats

But big congrats (and happy birthday!) to @JakeBenRichards We hope you'll be pushing from strong investment in public services and fairness to improve life for us in Rother Valley and the country.

Rother Valley returns to Labour but yeesh that was close. Lab 16,023.Con 15,025.Ref 7,679.Grn 1,706.LD 1,175. Context: Stafford (Con) was locally popular which is why it was still close. Reform vote came from nowhere though - we've had literally 0 campaign materials from them.

RT @DanielleAndrew8: Jake Richards elected for Labour for rother valley unseating conservative Alexander Stafford

To force myself out of my bubble I occasionally go and look what's happening on my Conservative MPs facebook page, but it's so mind-bendingly bonkers over there that I can't stay for long.

Appeal for help: anyone know about myopia control lenses? Been recommended them for daughter and - ever the scientist - I've been digging into the research. Found a couple of reviews implying it's effective but fairly small sample sizes. Anyone know more?.

Rather nicer view from my workplace than usual today
