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.

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".

@Cambridge_Uni @LukeFlower1 @Assoc_Anaes I'm saddened and disappointed that Cambridge Uni would publish something as scientifically misleading as this. Are you trying to destroy your reputation?

@LifeInKilburn @NW6GoodBadUgly

@Hyperoptic my Internet is down and your website seems to be struggling too. Is something up?

@runthinkwrite The bizarre thing is I remember asking an activist in the early days (2021) what was wrong with what JKR said and they replied she was transphobic because she conflated sex and gender (which of course she doesn't). Now, the TRAs make no distinction themselves.

More evidence that the sex/gender issue has destroyed rational thinking - particularly in the US. The @FFRF have declared Coyne a heretic and his words blasphemy - despite the fact they he simply states basic scientific facts. No free thought allowed on their freethought blog.

@ODEONCinemas Why are you showing The Order at so few cinemas? Very odd decision. 90% rating, Jude Law stars. But not a single showings in any of your many London cinemas.

@EffinMaggie @FondOfBeetles @Parsleymael @eleonorasfalcon @JennaFights4You Anyone who says sex is bimodal doesn't know what bimodal means, doesn't know what sex is or (probably) both.

@Aibagawa I fully accept the government could have done it better. But that applies to almost everything. There are loads of gov policies that were poorly implemented or which negatively affect some people. But I don't hear calls for compensation. That's the bit I don't get.

@Aibagawa You didn't read about it in the papers or hear the many discussion about the change in the news? I paid almost no interest to discussions about pensions at the time and I was still aware of it

@Aibagawa But that's not what the compensation is for. It's not the fact of it changing but the supposed lack of communication. The change was widely reported years in advance. It's to hard to believe there were women money-savvy enough to make those adjustments who didn't know about it.

@dilanesper What's your evidence that plenty/lots of GC people are like this? I agree such people do exist and I think they're wrong. But I've encountered very few. They're the exception not the rule.

I unlocked £25.50 Rush tickets for The Lightning Thief: The Percy Jackson Musical on @TodayTixUK!

@MartinShkreli Fascinating. What % male/ female are you?

@waitbutwhy It's not real though. It's an animation based on real data. Still lovely just not real.

@GreenZoeHatch What kind of exercise?

@BevJacksonAuth @nocnsf @Scienceofsport @coachblade "The tradition of referring to the Earth as a globe is based mainly on beliefs and ideologies about the shape of the planet, not on scientifically peer-reviewed research"

@11streets @OurKilburnNPF Thanks - I won't. But can I ask who is running these accounts? Is the same person tweeting for Best and for the KilburnNPF? And are you expressing the views of those organisations or merely a personal view?
