Live in Edinburgh, like dressmaking, knitting, active travel and coffee. Scottish Government researcher working on children and families. 🇩🇪 passport, from 🇱🇺 I still write an occasional personal blog like it's 2005: www.applefranca.com
The stuff towards the end reminds me a bit of Jack Monroe coming out with increasingly easily disprovable claims before she disappeared. Except these wild claims are being made in interviews rather than on twitter

I used to listen to Maintenance Phase regularly until one time they talked about Adverse Childhood Experiences (part of my job at the time) and it was SO wrong, like no relation to reality wrong, and I never listened to an episode again, and unfollowed and muted MH.
Alyssa LongAnyway all his other videos I’d seen up until then seemed like, fine? But they were stuff I didn’t know a lot about, so when he got the thing I DO know a lot about super wrong I was like “wellllllll now I’m worried about all the other stuff” and here we are.
I am intrigued by what this means. A podcast for him to get it him up to speed on what he's meant to know? Or a podcast to listen to with the children? These are both awful, but in very different ways.
Veerender Singh JubbalDid a little detour on my errand to have a look at this. Chances of anyone working out what to do from the road markings are slim to none, I would say
Andy Arthur💃🏰⚓🦌 Threadinburgh 🧵I'm a firm believer that if your "straightforward", "simple" street layout requires a 1 minute instructional video to try and explain what the ambiguous signs and all that paint on the road wants you to do, it's not nearly as straightforward and simple as you imagine it is.
This is like the bike lane turn right at the bottom of Leith walk which took me asking in here to get right because I still didn't know what I was meant to do after cycling through it 5 times
The City of Edinburgh CouncilTwo stage right turns for cyclists have been introduced on Summerhall. This will make it safer and easier for cyclists to turn right onto Hope Park Terrace and from the opposite direction on Summerhall, right onto Melville Drive.
My kids who are 11 and 13 have been saying this for as long as they've understood the concept of googling. Not sure where they got the phrase from, certainly not us. But it is not new
Mark HarrisI'm actually fine with sounding old.
Very serious thread I'm not making fun of but: 158F?!? When Americans try to justify their temperature system they are always doing on about how it's easier to count in tens (0 is cold, 100 is warm) and Celsius is too complicated! But now you're supposed to heat things up to something so specific?
Dr. Lucky Tranavoid bagged greens, buy whole fruits and vegetables, buy local produce or frozen produce, trim away outer layers of produce and wash thoroughly, and when you can, heat or reheat your food to 158 degrees F which kills the parasite.
We were in the car for seven hours and I've no complaints about the actual music played but so many adverts for their new 'indie forever' aka 'are you in your 40s this is for you' stream it was hugely irritating. Also constant smart speaking instructions!
Brian McRobertsTuned into 6 music. They are playing proper indie muszac. In the Morning by Razorlight. I feking loathed them and that song..
It was not selling the concept of the half time show was it
LizziebethIt's like a marketing workshopped to death fever dream, where no one could decide on one theme, so they decided to have all of them for 10 seconds each....
This photo shows the full ridiculousness of the trousers even better
