Wow. Just fucking wow. Yea, let's use more AI in Formula 1. Just ugly chaos. #F1 #BahrainGP #MalaysianGP

We're at the part of the race where the commentary descends into waxing lyrical about Max Verstappen. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

It's really sweet of Bottas to keep Alonso company all the way at the back there. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

Extrapolating from the calm 2016 Baku GP to the chaos of the 2017 Baku GP, the 2027 Madring #SpanishGP will be a safety car red flag montage. And Kimi Raikkonen will somehow still get a drive through penalty. #F1

Lawson's having a good quali. Was he given some bad news before he needs to excise? #F1 #SpanishGP

Beautiful question to a fan at the #SpanishGP: TV host: "Is it your first time here?" Fan: "It's everyone's first time here..." #F1

So... will the Ferrari mechanics find themselves singing along to the Italian anthem this time? #F1 #ItalianGP

Is Lando now in the championship hunt? This is the guy who refused to admit defeat even in 2023, the year of Maximum Verstappen, until it was mathematically impossible for him to win. So, yes. #DutchGP #F1 #LandoNorris

Sad face for Lawson. But it looks like enough people have left RBR since Liam was last there to have a decent go this time. #F1 #dutchgp

hmm Alan Wake 2... Can I choose Watery? Apart from the eternal gloom it doesn't seem that bad and I could learn Finnish. As long as I don't leave the main street the Taken can't attack me!

Petty reason for disliking flatpak: any update shows as a security update. Specifically, the update icon shows with a red dot, not a blue dot as for regular updates. It makes me think of flatpak as being overdramatic. #flatpak #linux

Unrelated, but I love Arvid Lindblad's aggressive "I'm only here coz they're paying me" vibe; Lance Stroll looks hyped in comparison. Meanwhile, Esteban is in model mode and Alonso is radiating ✨Hero✨

It seems it isn't just the broadcast system that is borked. #F1 #HungarianGP

The driver tracker on F1TV is borked atm, it looks like someone is juggling with the driver dots. At least the commentary is working. #F1 #HungarianGP #F1TV

Expectations being set high already; Alex Jacques declaring a "guaranteed box office first lap.." *sigh* We can't always get what we want. #F1 #F1TV #BelgianGP

If a team makes a game that gets great reviews and doesn't sell, that's a biz failing but the silver lining is you caught lighting in a bottle -- protect that team! It's worth its weight in gold. If you jettison the team but keep the biz people, I don't know what to tell you

That's not to say climate change is over and we can declare victory but the path to zero carbon is now extremely obvious and achievable and its mostly a matter of time (and how much damage we inflict along the way) rather than an existential danger we might not solve.

I'm not a Max Verstappen fan, but I do enjoy his absolute refusal to engage in discussion of rumours during press conferences and interviews. #f1 #BelgianGP #RedBull

What if every MP had to go through a process more rigorous than claimants do to justify every single £ they spent and earned as well as justifying all their decisions to avoid going directly to prison.

I like Guenther, but wtf? Under his leadership Haas manufactured as little as possible to save money, buying everything they possibly could from Ferrari. Be a grown up... #F1 #McLaren

The great thing about Britain is you're free to think whatever you want to think and say whatever J. K. Rowling's lawyers permit you to say.

The giveaway here is using a Tolkien name for a grand project. Teh Tech Bros didn't get what LoTR was about and just keep telling us they want to be Sauron (the big big bad). (There's more of us than there are of them)

In summary: as the UK govt is not a healthcare practitioner, it is enacting conversion therapy on trans folks and should be held accountable with prison time. #transrights #humanrights

I think it would be a good idea if all MPs wore uniforms, like F1 drivers, we can see who is sponsoring them.

So, the BritishGP has come and gone, we had umbrellas trying to race, Max Verstappen saving George Russell from his own curse, and an underrated Alonso victory, but this all happened in the Realm of the British GP; a magical place with ancient wind generators and propaganda. #F1 #BritishGP

Did you know Silverstone is windy because it used to be an airfield? That is, it was a place where wind was harvested, and the ancient wind gods still haven't caught up that it's now a race track and their services aren't required. #F1 #BritishGP #Silverstone
