This seems like a good idea - a set of rules to improve online discussion from @school4thought. I'm going to attempt to put these principles into action in my tweets and suggest anyone I end up in discussion with does too. I may not always succeed, but at least I'll try.

If true this is awful, pure prejudice and spite.

Today is the 60 year anniversary of the first episode of Tomorrow's World which I'm proud to have worked on. Such a shame the @BBC isn't doing anything to mark the event. Even more shameful there's no regular science show on mainstream UK television.

The patience shown by @jessesingal in the face of some of the most bizarre mental gymnastics is truly extraordinary. That @theserfstv could post this thinking it makes them look good is and him look bad is bizarre. JS comes out looking like a saint!.

Saw this last night and loved it. Clever, moving and funny. A fabulous celebration of the joy of singing in a choir. Go see it!!!.

I solved the 7/2/2025 New York Times Mini Crossword in 0:30!.

RT @zaelefty: My book, Binary, has been banned on the eBook platform Kobo for “promoting hate and threatening violence.”. I pressed them to….

Brilliant idea in #Copenhagen. You can borrow a kayak for free in return for picking up rubbish. We need this in London to clean up our canals! #greenkayak #paddleforcleaneroceans

I'm singing with my nerdy choir at the @TheClaphamGrand on sunday. It's going to be EPIC!

This is like saying that receiving a cancer diagnosis doesn't mean you have to take any action because the cancer was there before the diagnosis and the diagnosis itself hasn't changed the nature of the disease. Which is obviously insane.

WTF? Errrrr. yes I would like tradition to be optional thank you, rather than live in a fascist state that makes tradition mandatory.

I would love to see a shred of evidence that it's "cis men" rather than males who are the threat. Can @EmilyThornberry or anyone who agrees with her provide any?.

@AdrianRamsay Read more about what went on here:

Adrian refused to support it publicly and stood by whilst members were expelled and harassed for perfectly ordinary, legitimate views. @AdrianRamsay if you truly believe what you say, put forward a motion stating unequivocally that Gender Critical people are welcome in GPEW. .

Thank you @bbcnickrobinson for challenging @AdrianRamsay about the awful treatment of Green Party members bullied out for stating what we now know was the law all along. But his answer, though welcome, is dishonest. I put forward a motion calling for tolerance from both sides. .

Really enjoyed the Penguin Lessons. Brilliant and moving central performance. And Steve Coogan is good too. Best line, "When bad people do bad things you expect it. But when good people do nothing. "

RT @HadleyFreeman: Deal with it 🚬. 💪 @VictoriaPeckham . Let’s not downplay this triumph for women.

I've just noticed that the @RoyalSocBio have protected their tweets. That seems a bizarre thing for a Royal Society to do. Anyone know how long they've hidden their tweets? Is this anything to do with their bizarre refusal to accept the biological reality of sex?

Those who bullied and attacked women for the "crime" of saying what the UKSC has confirmed to be true should now hang their heads in shame. In particular those in all political parties who were part of the mob - and those who stood aside and let the bullying happen.

So after years of people being villified for saying that women were female, the highest court in the land has agreed. Trans women are not, in law, women. And it reached that judgement because adult female human is and always has been the common everyday meaning of the word woman.

On a serious note, that's the problem with the Ukraine situation. There's no need to be hostile. All that's needed is to politely but firmly say "no, you can't take over our country".
