  1. "How much information is actually contained in a sentence, a paragraph or even a whole language? "

  2. @kityates, louder! For the people in the back!

    It is horrible that parents are more than willing to put the life, health and safety of children (not only their own children) on the line.

    In Germany a reduction of vaccination rates (especially the second dose) is noted.

    Can’t believe our “civilisation” moves back to the dark times with increasing numbers of polio, pertussis, measles aso. because people don’t trust science.

  3. @kityates Even way smaller, but thank you also from my side. The deafening silence is hard to bear in the face of what #ElonMask is doing to science and its position in society. As the code of conduct is pretty concise and doesn't leave a lot of room for negotiations, I was more optimistic, to be honest 😭

  4. @kityates My assumption was always, that members of Royal Society are scientists. Well, obviously not. I can't see at all, how #musk could be seen as "scientist".

    Well, I don't know, if his role as #Sperminator could be seen as "science", but I doubt that very much.

  5. @kityates Tragic. If they aren't vaccinating for measles, one wonders what else is being left out? Hep B,, diptheria, tetanus, polio. HPV too. Giant stop back for public health.

    not only was #lovelace the world's first #programmer, she was also the first #AI detractor

    and i know that because the first non-#sciencefiction proponent of AI, #alanturing, cited her in his defense of/ argument for AI

    #turing framed the foundational thoughts of the entire field of AI, as an argument against ada's thoughts

    and she lived many decades before turing!

    #adalovelace was an amazing woman

    she deserves her own hollywood movie

  7. @kityates exactly Kit, the UK is on a death spiral and unless we start to do something, beyond the current vaccines, we are going to damage our economy for generations, we may never recover.

  8. @kityates What poor judgment! Why would they give the man credence? #ToryMP

  9. @kityates Kit, please just ignore if no interest / no time, I really appreciate the invaluable commentary from you & #IndependentSage - but I have been intrigued to discover the resonances from 1796 when the 21-yr old #JaneAusten started writing #PrideAndPrejudice, & how her characters encapsulate perspectives dividing #UKpolitics then & now.

  14. @kityates Wondering when the volte-face will come as Barclay cannot win against the nurses.

    #nhs

    #supportthenurses

    I suspect this will be when Sunak rails in financial support for #ukraine saying, "My actions today releases funding for the Nurses."

    The 'charity-begins-at-home-parochialism Brigade will love him for doing that!

    It's a Tory win-win

    Am I being too cynical?

  15. @kityates
    Exactly - not in a million years would I have handed anything remotely personally or politically sensitive to Isabel #Oakeshott. #Hancock deserves what he got, but it is a bit rough on the people on What's App who thought they were talking to him in confidence...

  16. @kityates Thsnks for the information. Dilution of another of the few precautions the #forgotten500k were able to ask of family and friends 😷#Immunecompromised #evusheld

  17. @kityates How? The decision to give oxygen is based on an assessment of the patient's need. So do they expect paramedics to decide that some patients might be OK without it? Or some might die anyway so why waste it? Who decides? And if hospital staff dealing with that patient down the line think that their outcome was adversely affected by failure to give oxygen in the ambulance, who bears the guilt? #NHS #AmbulanceService

  21. @kityates I am #cycling to #Roundhay Park in #Leeds today and a good friend has told me that the crocuses are looking beautiful so that is something worth the pedalling

  22. @kityates Nazi Kwarteng & his S&M partner #ThickLizzy should rot in jail for the harm they've inflicted on millions of people.
