At time of writing, two RNLI lifeboats (orange) appear to be shadowing the Nave Andromeda (red). They appear to have started following at around 19:30 UTC. #maritime #maritimesecurity The Guardian The Independent The Telegraph The Sun The Times and The Sunday Times

So today we watched The Lodge, and then Blended...basically the same story from two different angles. How to handle introducing a potential new parent to your kids. Hmm...which approach worked best? 😂

Fun with graphs! Used MariTrace's Commercial Fleet Analyser to look at the bulkers, containers, and tankers not moving in Egyptian waters (sum of DWT). Bit of a spike at the moment #shipping #maritime #ports #logistics #freight #transportation #transport #cargo #freightforwarding

Not that I imagine anybody noticed, but I got banned from Twitter yesterday for "threatening harm to people"....because I posted a funny gif of Eric Cartman, with a quotation from him (no swearing). I appealed, explaining it was a quote/joke, but was forced to remove it. Wow!

So when is Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez going to criticise Fauci for saying (about Americans who are not vaccinated) ‘Those people are putting the US at risk of a surge’? They are NOT insurgents 😂

Congratulations to Italy 🇮🇹. Was a great game and it’s no shame to lose on penalties to such a good team! Well done England and there’s always the World Cup next year!

I just saw there is a study out at the Lancet saying that vaccine passports can lead to an increase in the number of people getting vaccinated. Interesting. I wonder what it does to a governments chances of getting re-elected.

If the government decided to make the booster mandatory, but with the option of instead being injected directly with the Omicron variant, what would you do?

Agreeing with a point someone makes doesn't mean you are ideologically aligned with them, it means they make a good point that is worth sharing. On the flip side if you are strongly aligned with a person, you can still politely disagree with them on an subject without falling out
