@LukeUpchurch Who knows?! Is Jon Stewart still alive? Does America still exist?

Realising I now have zero knowledge of recent US political events, ever since More4 stopped showing @TheDailyShow.

@designswarm I don’t even know what the appropriate response to it is.

@designswarm At infant school we used to try using our thumbs to erase pencil. The absolute horror of pencils with thumbs on the end.

"The causes of climate change are hotly disputed…" Are they BBC World Service? Really?
