🧵 As front-page headlines go, this has to be one of the most misleading I've seen in a long time It's an out-and-out lie But notice the trick they use to get away with it...👀 *They're* not lying - they're just quoting someone else who is👍🏻 In this case, the leader of the opposition🙄 1/33

"More Freedoms Handed to New Arrivals than British Citizens"

They are 72 hours from acceptance! All it took was graduated exposure! Shame humans can't habituate like animals can.

absolutely spot on re Nigel Farage’s speech - from Tom Peck
He was angry, mainly, at all the attention that has been given to the highly unusual sources of his now-considerable wealth. But don't worry, hes definitely earned it.
"Going back to the Nineties, I was in the commodity markets and I had a very, very good, high-earning career," he explained. "I gave that up at a huge cost. Being a member of the European parliament for 20 years cost me a huge amount of money." Being a member of the European parliament for 20 years earned Nigel Farage about two or three million euros. He also, as luck would have it, will be 63 next year and so eligible for a nice little £80,000 a year pension for his dedicated service to Brussels.
Since then, he has, he explained,
"had the equivalent of a lottery win".
This lottery win is the f5m that appeared in his bank one morning, shortly betore he became an MP, and which he didn't think it would be necessary to declare to anyone.
The standards commissioner is investigating this matter so we don't wish to pre-empt his findings, but if he does conclude it was the
"equivalent of a lottery win", then the matter will surely be declared over. Until now, it hadn't been known that millions of other people had bought tickets from the Thai-based crypto billionaire Christopher Harborne and one lucky man, called Nigel Farage, had been randomly chosen as the winner.

Building citizens: Why philosophy is compulsory in French schools
In France, anyone looking to graduate with a secondary school diploma must pass an hours-long philosophy exam, in addition to more prosaic subjects like maths and languages.

If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.

How many of us feel in a cold rage today? Mine is directed at Farage & this comment on yesterday's Guardian piece by John Crace is spot on. The writer uses a pseudonym or I would credit them but, to whomever he or she is, I say bravo.

I looked at a menu for a fancy restaurant and they want me to pay twenty bucks for ricotta toast and fig jam. It's possible that I'm entering the "restaurants are not a treat, I'd rather make my own food" phase of my existence.

Handwriting isn’t just “slower typing.” EEG studies show writing by hand recruits broader sensorimotor, visual, memory, and attentional networks than typing the same words. The brain learns through movement too, not only through information. 🧠✍️ #neuroskyence #neuroscience #brain #EEG #words

France is mandating solar panels on every large commercial car park in the country — turning millions of square metres of idle asphalt into one of Europe's most productive clean energy assets. I have been mentioning this for months - they are shooting up on all the supermarket car parks.
