The Stepping-Feet Illusion. The two rectangles appear to be moving alternately, like a pair of stepping feet – but they’re not; they're moving together at the same constant speed. Don't believe me? Watch how the illusion disappears when the stripes fade to grey… pic.twitter.com/L9NqSq7vus
Rachel: “Samuel, this iPad is disgusting.” Sam (3): “That’s because I blessed it.” Rachel: Sam: Rachel: “Do you mean you sneezed on it?” Sam: “Yes. I bless you.”
Thanks to #StormCaira BA flight BA112 travelled from New York to London overnight in just 4hrs 56mins. I believe this is a new subsonic transatlantic flight record. 👀 pic.twitter.com/b0niRbpMcT
Unexpected result of #StormCiaًra – our front door has developed a farting problem. You could say its a bit…. windy. (I'll see myself out) pic.twitter.com/1KAj56yPuf
Another show, another collapsed audience member, another heroic group of medics, nurses & paramedics saving the day. Patient now well. My shows are officially the safest place to have an emergency (though, that said, if it could please stop happening…) https://t.co/HT55Z6DIDo
In Budapest there's a fountain that looks like a book: every few seconds a sheet of water blasts forth from the book's spine, arcing from one side to the other, creating the illusion that an invisible force is turning the pages of this marble tome [gif: https://t.co/FToSO30KQq] pic.twitter.com/a0oUQrKXYt
As Boris Johnson proposes spending £20 billion on a bridge between Scotland and Northern Ireland, British voters wonder if they could perhaps have those 40 hospitals instead.
I’ve just realised I know someone who is on WhatsApp who has made their permanent status “typing” in italics and I think it’s the most solid proof of sadism I’ve ever seen.
FYI @AmazonUK to turn off the children’s smart watches that I sent to senior management this morning whack the SIM card out. We bought them on your site and hacked them (very easily, worryingly) which is why I can track them and could sing to your bosses through them lol!!!🎤🤓
I'll reiterate what I said at DMU last night. I'm told daily on twitter that I'm not nice enough, not vegan enough, not trans enough, not good enough. I never asked to be a role model. I represent nobody but myself. I do my best every single day with what I have. And I AM ENOUGH.
Gender identity years ago was just called personality. We didn’t, luckily have such narrow stereotypes. We are regressing. And if gender is a spectrum so be it but sex is not! Its not changeable & it’s binary. We identify bodies 2000yrs old by DNA & bone structure. Nature. https://t.co/viDgrKAOVG
When I was in middle school I sat my parents down to tell them I have cancer bc I had mysterious bruises all over my body. When they finally stopped laughing at me they explained that I sleep walk into a table every night.
I thought I had diabetes one time. Every time I peed it would smell sweet. Excess sugar in the urine! Turns out my wife put an air freshener in our toilet…
If a celebrity dies by suicide after a massive media onslaught this is manslaughter via the press. The media love ticking boxes and doing their mental health campaigns but fail to take any accountability when they impact people’s health.
I hope every troll – whether they troll for their own Twitter feed or for the Daily Mail or a gossip mag or whatever – takes pause and realise that when you repeatedly bully and abuse someone you are very likely to be impacting their health.
We need a massive cultural change. We need a revolution of kindness. We need a bit more bloody humanity. Fewer glass houses, fewer stones. Less judgement. More heart. We need an end to bullying and trolling and titillating gossip-mothering. It’s a bloody disgrace.
Might be an idea to ignore every inch of tabloid coverage of this horrible news. They profited from her life, they certainly don’t deserve to profit from her death. #Caroline
