My Picks for Top Tweets: 8 September 2017
Despite how it may seem from these daily posts, I don't spend that much time looking at tweets, or on Twitter. There was a time when I did spend a lot of time there engaging with other users, but that's not the case anymore. Mostly, I got sick of all the nastiness...
My Picks for Top Tweets: 7 September 2017
Well, I've got even less time than yesterday to look for tweets. I won't bore you with another tale of the woes of my life. Suffice to say, things aren't ideal right now. However, I'm very, very lucky that I was born in this country, especially as a woman. Despite all...
My Picks for Top Tweets: 6 September 2017
I don't have time to do many tweets today. Here's the story. At 2 am this morning I was woken by extremely loud thunder that went on for ages. I was very tired, but I didn't get back to sleep for several hours. Then this morning I got a phone call. For the third time...
Simon’s Cat: Two New Videos
I'm still getting used to doing posts every day, and things are very behind. As a result Simon's Cat hasn't been making it onto the website as quickly as it should. In fact, I'm not quite sure how or why, but there's also a Simon's Cat from June that didn't make it...
Our Planet: Atacama Desert
Once again, Martin Heck has done a great job in showcasing our planet on film. He's back in Chile again, this time in the Atacama Desert. It's been a while since we had a post in the Our Planet Series. In fact, the last one was back in January. However, this was worth...
My Picks for Top Tweets: 5 September 2017
I'm looking for a new name for this daily offering than "Top Tweets". I want to reflect that there's a current events comment here too. If any of you can think of something, let me know. I said I'd write about the North Korea crisis today, but it's such a complex...
My Picks for Top Tweets: 4 September 2017
I should be writing about North Korea. I haven't even included any tweets about that. Maybe tomorrow. Today I'm going into homily mode. It'll probably piss some of you off. There's a tweet in today's Political Tweets section about the blow-back GOP politicians are...
My Picks for Top Tweets: 3 September 2017
I've used a lot of my own tweets again today. Every few days I go through the US political cartoons, most of which are together on one Facebook page. I then post the ones I like on Twitter, which can be up to thirty at a time. So, there are a lot more than those here,...
My Picks for Top Tweets: 2 September 2017
Reader Nicky asked me yesterday whether these daily tweets posts were going to be a regular thing. I haven't decided for sure yet. I've kept them going for almost a month now, but there are several things to think about. On the one hand they've been good for getting...
My Picks for Top Tweets: 1 September 2017
Australia is finally having a referendum on same-sex marriage. I haven't got any tweets on it, but I want to mention it all the same. Polls show that a majority of Australians favour marriage equality, but getting it into law has been difficult. Since New Zealand...
My Picks for Top Tweets: 31 August 2017
There are some tweets I've been leaving out of these posts over the last few days because I'm going to use them elsewhere. I want to mention them though. They're tweets I was expecting, but their appearance disgusts me nevertheless. They come from Donald Trump's...
My Picks for Top Tweets: 30 August 2017
Tweets of the ongoing crisis in Texas following Hurricane Harvey is still, of course, the main thing on Twitter today. The Washington Post is so far confirming sixteen deaths as a result of the storm. One is a police officer (see below). I suspect we haven't seen the...
