Last time England were in the semis I was 9 and not at all interested in football (I was more a computer kid) but I realised something special was going on so stuck a hanger into the back of the old tv I had in my room for the computer and watched it in fuzz-o-vision
Can’t believe it’s happening again! My children are similarly disinterested but also showing a spark of intrigue now everyone is talking about it! My son (also more a computer kid) even asked me to explain offside to him earlier this week
BREAKING: Son and daughter both watched a few minutes of #RUSCRO with me on the bed and seemed to enjoy it. Son desperate to watch England on Wed (would be his first ever match)

Wait... the Imperial War Museum was storing the remains of six Holocaust victims? What possible justification would there be for that?
2/ I'm confused about Imperial War Museum's explanation for why it knowingly held the remains of 6 Holocaust victims for 21 years. Having received them in 1997, it just decided it was 'no longer appropriate' to hold them. Why was it ever appropriate? thejc.com/news/uk-news/u…
3/ It says it has "authority under Human Tissue Act 2004" to hold the remains. When I read s.1 of the Act I initially assumed you needed consent to hold the remains but in fact as an HTA report on the IWM says, donations before 2006 didn't require consent hta.gov.uk/sites/default/…

1/ We need to talk about Brexit and "protecting workers' rights" (thread) bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
2/ It is being reported (and the govt have basically confirmed) that the govt will offer to accept @JohnMannMP and others' amendment to the Brexit deal bill. This is via @PippaCrerar who broke the story (mirror.co.uk/news/politics/…)
3/ The amendment agrees with para 79 of the Political Declaration (the entirely non-legally binding 'wish list' document produced by the govt and EU to set the ... er... tone? parameters? hopes? of a future deal) - here is para 79 itself assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/upl…

Can someone point me to the workers rights amendment which it is being reported May might back to bring over Labour MPs?
The BBC says it's an amendment proposed by @JohnMannMP - does anyone have a copy of it? bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…
Thanks, found it

The state of the art of storytelling improves with time the same as any other technology, which is why Twilight is better written than Foundation.
Note that I mean "this is the thing that causes Twilight to be better written than Foundation". I'm not asserting quality as a function of time; I think an unbiased analysis of the writing of both books bears this out.
The problem is, how do you get an unbiased analysis? You'd need someone skilled in literary analysis who is unfamiliar with Foundation's status as a classic by one of The Greats or Twilight's status as modern pop fantasy trash for sighing girls.

A thread about my journey with computer animation & why I’m (re)doing computer animation with 80s tech.
33 years ago friend brought this magazine from school library, said “Now we can make animation with computer. Macintosh computer!”

The software featured in the article is VideoWorks, by MacroMind (predecessor of Macromedia). My eyes wide opened, a new dream shaped.
My brain whispered “I can make this with a computer?” I declared myself I want to be a computer graphic artist.

Okay, this needs to be said. The comics industry is unlike any other arts related industry out there. It’s not like book publishing, or fashion or advertising, it doesn’t have those solid walls separating management, artists and consumers.
The comics industry is small and as a result has become a very tight-knit community. We all know everyone by a couple of degrees. We talk to each other, we share creating tips, help on deadlines, give advice, suggest contacts, we mentor, we warn each other of bad apples.
The reason is because so much rides on our ability to produce quality work on a deadline, to be reliable... and to be easy to work with.

If you’re an asshole in this line of work it won’t take long for everyone one of us to hear about it.

Went to Azraq Refugee Camp in Jordan today. Official population at 53,967, according to @UNHCR as of February 2018. All Syrian #refugees.

In many ways it was not what I expected.
First thing you notice is how remote the location is — some 100 kms east of Amman; 20 kms from Azraq town; 75 kms to Saudi Arabia; 255 kms to Iraq; and 90 kms to the Syrian border — from which its inhabitants fled.
At the same time, the harshness of the setting — a hardscrabble, sprawling 15 square km patch, scratched, etched and stretched out of endless rolling desert.

The perimeter was equally formidable, with security fencing, official patrols, check points and razor wire.

Time for more #subtips! More on emotional engagement and emotional dimension! To review here's my thread from last time:
Your character can go through hell but if the reader isn't impacted emotionally, none of it matters. Breakout books move the reader. #subtips
I am specifically talking about mainstream fiction straddling the literary-commercial divide, and how to boost that breakout potential. Though these tools apply to a lot of books! #subtips
