A most apt quote today, from “William Shakespeare’s The Phantom of Menace” by @iandoescher
I wonder how advertisers are feeling right now. Paying Twitter to show me their messages and I can’t see anything. And I can’t be bothered to “wait a few moments and try again.” I’ll just wander off. Another brilliant business lesson from #SpaceKaren 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #ratelimitexceeded

Well I finished my read through of @RobinJarvis1963 Deptford Mice/Histories/Mouselets/Almanac in timeline order and I thoroughly recommend trying it. It really emphasised:
- Just how LONG Jupiter has been around gathering power. His plan in TDP felt very grounded in his past 1/3
To anyone who still thinks the BBC represents some higher standard of news journalism, I present this:

Fascinating to be asked to present my driving licence in order to exercise my right to vote, in a country that now does more to safeguard against statistically negligible fraud by voters, than it does to assure the integrity of candidates for public office.

@altontowers there are a large number of people smoking and vaping in your queue lines today. Smiler is particularly bad.

@BritishGasHelp it looks like you’re ignoring me, and making it difficult for me to contact you to get back excess money on my account. If you’re not willing to help me I shall have to contact the Ombudsman.
Hey @BritishGasHelp I tried to speak to someone using your message service but there is never anyone available.
You recently took payment for my 6-month bill, there’s now a credit balance of £114 on my British Gas account. I would like this sending back to me please.

@BritishGasHelp I’ve tried to get in touch using the message service in your app but it constantly says there is no one available.
There is a credit balance on my account after my 6-month bill has been paid and I would like it returned to me please.

We’ve been inspired by #LEGOMastersAU in our house and we’re all building Lego today. This is the first #Lego set I’ve ever built by myself, from start to finish. I’m pretty pleased with it. By Emma, age 40.

Hi @RobinJarvis1963 I’d like to read the Deptford books in in-world timeline order. I’ve read them many many times since I was about 10 so spoilers aren’t an issue. I’m thinking of the following order (1/2)
1
175
@RobinJarvis1963
1. The Oaken Throne
2. The Alchymist’s Cat
3. Thomas (main story)
4. Fleabee’s Fortune
5. Whortle’s Hope
6. The Dark Portal
7. The Crystal Prison
8. The Final Reckoning
9. Thomas (prologue/epilogue)
10. The Deptford Mice Almanac
Does this look right?
According to the BBC, there is “context” to domestic abuse.
BBC statement on last night's @bbcquestiontime
ALT Following comments about an exchange referencing domestic abuse on Question Time, the BBC says Domestic abuse is abhorrent, and we would never wish to suggest otherwise. When serious allegations are made on air against people or organisations, it is the job of BBC presenters to ensure that the context of those allegations – and any right of reply from the person or organisation – is given to the audience, and this is what Fiona Bruce was doing last night. She was not expressing any personal opinion about the situation.”
@l_tabberer @PoppyfieldSch @PoppyfieldHead James loves his topic at school: he’s enjoyed learning about animals & their habitats. At home he’s been playing the #BoardGame #Cascadia, which is all about the wildlife and habitats of the Pacific Northwest. The Hawk is his favourite!
