I think it's wrong that you have to scroll past FIFTY items on the BBC News front page before you get to the local election results https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-65503082

How times have changed…

On 3 September 1189, Richard I was crowned King in Westminster Abbey. Jews were barred from attending, but in a spirit of heartfelt goodwill, some Jewish leaders arrived bearing gifts for the new king. They were informed that Jews were not welcome,… https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1654480822659952641

A (I promise fairly short) thread on the local elections results

When you spin you could lose 1,000 seats (because you privately think it will be a bit better than that), and then you actually lose more than that, there's no getting round the fact it was a bad night 1/9

This is a pretty insane (& extremely disappointing) message to receive for posting a sarcastic response to a tweet of an actual photo someone took of me.

In case it wasn’t clear, the v6 comment was a joke. And I’m not sure what false info tweets they’re talking about?

Possibly lost in all the excitement about the local election results is this poll showing that Labour's current Brexit stance has never been more wrong. https://twitter.com/omnisis/status/1654487082801283077

Someone used the line “we all have the same 24 hours” today on me when we were talking about exercising and meal prep. I asked him how he managed to get in his 2 hours at the gym after work with his disabled child who needs 24/7 supervision. He said “oh”.

Make me a business bank that

  • makes KYC for complex businesses not a total nightmare, therefore makes switching possible
  • allows basic business controls of two people signing off payments
  • pays some interest on money held
  • obviously allows multiple access as well as account holder
    ...and I will be there like a shot.
    But for all the 'innovation' in the sector, I rate the chances of this about the same as the chances of a whelk in a supernova...

The reaction to this tragedy here in Serbia is fascinating. Two days of public mourning (no music, weddings, celebrations), and plans to change the law (Serbia may have a lot of guns but they're tightly controlled and I've never, ever seen one).

That’s a huge proportion. This is voter suppression in action. https://www.itv.com/news/2023-05-04/widespread-reports-of-people-without-id-being-denied-vote

@ollybenson well, we'll see - I suspect there was a significant increase. Large numbers of course is relative - for me, the benchmark is if it was more than the estimated number (7?) of personations nationally previously.

How much does the eye tell the brain? Not much.

1000:1 🗜️ from eye to optic nerve
25000:1 🗜️from optic nerve to brain

For every 1Gb collected by the eye, 1Mb is sent to the brain thru optic nerve & <100bits used

And how fast? ~875Kbps about the same as broadband internet speed

@lucyweirphd yes indeed - the challenge of course is that to operate you must have some form of 'variety attenuation' - and choosing the socially normal framing (like 'purpose') is easier for pack animals like humans...
