The TV station that we watch does a lot of sponsored segments about the UAE. Whenever they come on, my wife is in constant fear that I'll talk about having a party there because I'd love an Abu Dhabi do. Thanks @specutainment for introducing me to one of my favourite jokes.
An iOS Mastodon client that can reliably remember where I'm at in the timeline across devices, use absolute instead of relative time stamps, tell me how many unread posts I have, allow me to not animate any graphics by default, and open links in Safari. Is that too much to ask?
Time for my annual thanks to the @24hoursoflemans TV crew of @MartinHaven, @dsceditor, @antdavidson, @LouiseeB, @DuncV, @jazemanjaafar, @AhLovejoy, and everyone else involved in an entertaing, informative, and fun coverage. Made staying up for the whole 24 hours worth it.
Introducing our new puppy to @specutainment, @RSL_Studio, and endurance racing #N24hRSL . Looking forward to introducing her to #LM24.
Does anyone know where one can find old (preferably digital) maps of electorates from the 70s to today? I'm trying to map how an electorate has changed over time. @AntonyGreenElec
A big thanks to @dsceditor @addison1972 @MartinHaven @olivergavin @allanmcnish @DarrenTurner007 @LouiseeB @DuncV for a great @24hoursoflemans coverage. At times you’ve even entertained my wife who has no interest in the race!
I’d love for @MelbourneWater to run tours of the drainage system in a safe way - I love the idea of exploring infrastructure in a safe, and officially sanctioned way.
More than 20 people entered the city’s storm water system last night to explore Melbourne’s drainage tunnels. They entered the system at around 10pm last night and surfaced at an opening in the Yarra River, requiring assistance from Victoria Police to exit the water. #7NEWS

Factual error
When Dr. Kimble (Harrison Ford) claims he didn't kill his wife, Deputy U.S. Marshal Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) says he doesn't care. However, in reality law enforcement would never be so dismissive of seeking out truth and justice for a white man.
The best thing about Twitter is that it gives us access to celebreties.

I’m not sure if this is genius or lunacy. “We took this motor onto a dyno and we quickly realised this could be done.”
I think Australia is the worst time zone for the Le Mans 24 hour race. it starts at 11 pm, so you’ve been up for a full day already, then another 24 hours. (I think I slept for about 40 minutes)
Thanks to @dsceditor @MartinHaven @allanmcnish @AhLovejoy @JRollerLM24 @DuncV @jcampbellwalter and @LouiseeB for keeping me company during the Le Mans week, and for your amazing and insightful commentary.
