Dear @edfenergy, I hear good things about your tariffs, but I'm not going to ring up like it's the 1970's. Do try and get this stuff sorted, it's 2026!

@sircoynie @teslemetry I concur. I'm having to press buttons like some kind of caveman. 😂

Looks like it's back online. The panic that the internet wasn't working for 20 minutes is over. 🤣

Who do you report that DownDetector is down to? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Looks like Cloudflare are having some issues today and that will break a LOT of things.

I can now reveal that an earlier draft of the @Great_Run medal had it as Newcastle-Under-Lyme and the river was actually the M6 motorway. 🤣🤣🤣 It was still a magnificent event and the medal is awesome! See you next year for my lucky number 13! #GreatNorthRun

I see there is a bright red Tesla for sale in the Washington DC area. Only has delivery milage on it but the buyer must arrange to have it towed as it has never been driven and the battery is now flat. Also, someone has taken a dump in the glovebox.

@robmen It is confusing as f00k. Everytime I explain it to someone they look at me like I've gone mad.

In summary, Canada would be a new California style left-leaning mega-state (not MAGA) with huge electoral votes, but big though Canada is, its population is too low to have changed the 2024 result, but it would give Democrats a huge advantage in future elections (7/7)

This would leave the House with 247 Democrat votes to 247 Republicans. Therefore the 40% guess would be highly significant. But, on these figures we would not be seeing Trump impeached or for any real change in the super-explosive nature of US politics. (6/7)

So, what would have happened if Canada were to become the 51st State of the US? What impact would this have had on the November 2024 election? My assumption would be that Trump would not have become president, but the maths shows otherwise (1/7)🧵

I'm continuing my migration from Twitter for all the obvious reasons. The plan is to do it gradually: 1) Find existing people I follow on Bluesky. 2) If they are actively post there then I unfollow them in twitter. 3) Encourage posters to dual-post or move. 4) Use both apps but remove duplicates.

I'm experimenting with using Buffer to post across Twitter, Threads and BlueSky all at the same time. Here's a random AI video to help with the test.

@parkrunhelen We had scaffolding up for a week for installing solar panels. It blocked the path from the satellite to our satellite dish, so no telly. That was long enough to have scaffolding for a lifetime, couldn't do 6 weeks.
