The lyrics of Lou Reed’s song Sick of You (from New York, 1989) floated into my mind. Quite an uncanny set of scenarios.

An elderly Bond gets a young female assistant from Eastern Europe for a mission. He falls for her, they discover (just in time, phew!) she is his daughter from an affair in Czechoslovakia back in the day, she becomes the next Bond. Jana Bond. Pronounced properly.

I saw this photo of Chris Froome's wheel from the aftermath of his crash. The spokes of a bicycle wheel should not detach from the hub like this in an accident. This is due to a known design flaw in this design of hub which I'm going to highlight in this thread 🧵.

Indeed. It is an institution that nobody really understands - even though all Europeans have a lot to thank it for - that has the misfortune to have 'European' as part of its name. The important part is 'Human Rights'.

So acc to a very agitated Malcolm Rifkind on Today we are in a national crisis re Immigration and the only solution is to leave the EHCR. - This won’t solve anything. It’s just Brexit 2.0. The absolute hysteria that has engulfed some politicians and the U.K. media is astonishing. To put it mildly.

The driver got an eight year sentence, served half, got out and re-offended despite a 10-year driving ban. Surely there needs to be some sort of car offenders’ register to stop this?

Tony Blair has a complicated legacy. On the one hand, he plunged Britian into decades of war, scarring a generation, destabilising the middle-east and slaughtering countless innocent people. On the other hand, centrist bald men say he was great, actually. It's impossible to say who is correct.

all of this makes total sense when you recognize that “freedom” here means the freedom to dominate those you view as your subordinates and “tyranny” is when someone threatens that “freedom” or worse, when those subordinates try to claim power as political equals

I love stained glass, which is made up of coloured glass, so I guess that’s a quality. And you can *cough* blow glass, so that is also cool. Yeah, maybe I am being too hard on it. Glass glasses for drinks were introduced in Versailles so you could tell what was in them. So that is also good.
