@edrybicki Nor will they, unless a hologram of the (deceased) Richard Wright counts. But yes, 3/4 wrong. @gussilber about 6 hours ago via TweetDeck in reply to edrybicki
@GavinSilber @gussilber @edrybicki 02, yes. My t-shirt says CT and JHB. yfrog.com/ntorfmxj about 6 hours ago via TweetDeck in reply to GavinSilber
@biobot certainly top 5 for me, though Amused to Death pushes it close... about 6 hours ago via TweetDeck in reply to biobot

@Jonathan_Witt They'd have a bias towards a topic, sure, but how they address that topic wouldn't necessarily involve bias. @ivovegter about 11 hours ago via TweetDeck in reply to Jonathan_Witt
@ivovegter share a name with some sort of disaster-watch group (displacement, murders, rape etc. reported & mapped): sungusungu.com about 12 hours ago via TweetDeck in reply to ivovegter

@tauriqmoosa Misleading headline. Argument is for *permissibility*, not *obligation* (the latter is merely asserted). @bigthink @WayneDV 12:35 AM May 30th via TweetDeck in reply to tauriqmoosa
@ibanzi Am happy for it to be legislated. Sensibly, though. @ivovegter @dailymaverick 12:21 AM May 30th via TweetDeck in reply to ibanzi
