Bored of these interesting times.

If you don't know, keep it neutral: she/they.

HS2 is not about speed, it is about capacity. Local trains are very limited when they have to share a track with fast trains. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/hs2-logistics-financial-benefit-controversy-a8937936.html

HS2 is the only option for Britain’s railways | The Independent

The high-speed rail project comes with huge economic and practical benefits, but politicians have failed miserably at explaining them, Jon Stone argues

It works similarly for replies, all the @tags included in the original will be in the reply unless the replier removes any of them.

You can choose who sees any toot (reply or otherwise) by clicking the symbol to the left of CW EN. That gives you a bunch of options for the toot, and you can also choose the default setting (which is why I'm not naming the symbol because it will depend on your default setting).

@cavyherd

Only if you're included in the reply. Which by default, you would be.

@collinsworth

A lot of people would recognise the source but it's worth including for those who don't:

@tslumley

This is obviously correct. But please don't quote so few dp that meta-researchers cannot reliably reverse-engineer your data. An HR of, say, 0.6 (0.5, 0.8) is way too fuzzy if you need an effect estimate and an SD to pool with other studies.

Ideally report everything we might need, obv, but journals get in the way here. At least make sure you give us enough to work with. Thanks.

Please don't do this. My partner is an essential worker, masking (N95s/99s) since the beginning of March 2020 and still is. I WFH and did not step foot under another roof for 2.5 years, still masking when out and about.

We've had covid at least five times and it is not our fucking fault. This smug bullshit is so damaging and classist and please, just fucking stop.

Masks are important but pointing the finger at individuals while polishing your halo does not cut it.

@ollybenson

Any system which requires 'decent' people to be in charge will fail. We never see that discussed because the solution is redistribution of power and that does not suit those who currently wield the power (and own the platforms).

Patronising and paranoid is a shitty combination.
