Rwanda
The Prime Minister must have bullish internal government legal advice saying that all appeals can be easily dealt with within 10-12 weeks, including to court of appeal and supreme court.
Or perhaps he does not.

An An Ancient Greek Philosopher Was Exiled for Claiming the Moon Was a Rock, Not a God
2,500 years ago, Anaxagoras correctly determined that the rocky moon reflects light from the sun, allowing him to explain lunar phases and eclipses

@carolynporco I've only got a bracelet showing support for UK hedgehogs and I'm not going. I'm sure you'll get other useless replies to add to this one.

Really big news, folks.
I will be going to see Taylor Swift give one of her last performances in the #TaylorSwift Eras Tour !! 
I have now become a ticket-holding #swiftie ! (And a lot poorer for it, too, but what's life for, anyway?)
Vancouver, British Columbia is the place; early December the time.
Next, I have to divine the whole Friendship Bracelet thing.
Any instructions would be greatly appreciated.
If you're going, maybe we can trade bracelets? ;-) 
@sciencebase Reeded Beardlings, yes but only at the Ritz.
@sciencebase So called after the actor Oliver Reed, who order them in the Cafe Royal along with his beer.
@sciencebase DYK it's called that after the joint in Kent, not cos it eats sarnies, nor cos the Earl ate them.
@sciencebase It was seen eating the remains of a cheese roll! (Yes, I'm sure it isn't a Sandwich Tern ;-))

Hugh Grant has been priced out of his ‘phone hacking’ lawsuit against The Sun, after learning it would cost him more money to win than it would cost Rupert Murdoch.

New from @STAT's Casey Ross and me:
#Microsoft has helped organize at least 4 efforts to set standards in #healthcare #AI. Is that problematic?
also: did I sneak a history of the EPA's TSCA into a story about AI?

@sciencebase There's a Black one at Far Ings. Looks just the same except it's black.
@Catlynn The female rejects a portion of what he brings, I understand.

News media yet again full of threats by governing party politicians to leave the ECHR.
And yet again nothing at all about how this would breach the Good Friday Agreement.
@freemo Another nice to know. The English told the French they could still "pluck yew" (draw their bow) and waved two fingers to illustrate it. The French misheard it. Tell it to the Marines, too....
@freemo Just in case you hear "J Arthur", it is indeed J Arthur Rank, but that one means 'tank'.
@freemo A 'Malcolm' is a razor.
(Malcolm Fraser, a stage comic).
But a razor means a 'blazer', usually at school.
