Oh neat! New (to me) programming language aimed at kids: https://t.co/cDLoqCO86J. Part of movement to provide CS access to all, including disabled kids. “Evidence-oriented programming.” https://t.co/md43mnqBBs ( @lynnlangit @lindamciver )


Any of my Sydney friends doing distance running? I have a Nike water belt and several of the little bottles that fit it. Happy to go to a good home!


@Malarkey @lottejackson I would be very happy to bequeath them! I pretty much Batmanned the belt into the ultimate distance running utility kit. 🙂


@Malarkey @lottejackson …except somebody on FB just said they’ll take them. Sorry!


I made Ramen Crust Pizza! Now to watch the Royal Wedding… 🍕👑 https://t.co/4zCPEL0B6I https://t.co/AVzmAQxxZW


@JennaGuillaume Which one will insult my intelligence the least? I’ve been jumping between Nine and Seven.


@JennaGuillaume Trying it out. I like when they trot out some batty Pom to give context, like an American explaining the SuperBowl. 😂


Biggest social event of the century… and they have to sit on folding chairs?! 😂

Switched back to the ABC to see them doing a segment on Henry VIII. WHY. Stop with the historical context. I just want to see fashion and hats.


Commentator just asked if it was unusual she’s wearing a veil “because she’s a feminist,” and I confess I yelled “F*CK YOU” at the TV.


Debating which cocktail would be suitably British for the ceremony. We didn’t plan this well. “Gin? Gin.” That’ll do. 🍸


THIS feminist got walked down the aisle by Elvis. And I am very happy with my life choices. 👰 https://t.co/QCHyehdyIG


@Kat13v No, it was a dude on 7 I think… (I’ve been jumping around.)


@mootpointer Trying it out on your recommendation…


RT @tomandlorenzo: Enjoy Harry’s full head of hair. It’s not long for this world
#RoyalWedding


@kcarruthers It’s going down well. 👍


CAMILLA’S HAT. ❤️


@crankymate Booooooooo


I would 100% watch that. https://t.co/nvcnGHyrGs


I surprised myself by tearing up. Then again, I cry at commercials. https://t.co/0ygJcoCAvT


RT @Fifikins: #sexualunion drink!


@gilmae You mean how he has hair, right? 😂


RT @JamesCoyne: The boring religious bit


@DVDBits 😂👏


As a freckly American lass myself, I just think she is so pretty.


RT @bengoldacre: Apparently the queen wears outfits that are one single colour all over because she knows people want to see the queen, but…


The gin has gone. Have moved on to the cask port. Because I’m classy.


@Alegrya @nathanieloffer Pretty sure I heard them called by their full names first… and then their nicknames after.


Okay, who’s crying again?


Me: “Twitter has a conspiracy theory that this isn’t the real wedding because he keeps saying ‘Harry’.”

The Snook: “What’s his real name? Harold?”

Swear to god. 😂


@Mandy_Kerr Totes on board.


Oh right. This is the part where, every time I see someone play a cello, I wish I played the cello.


Most of the fun of this for me has been the Snook only marginally paying attention while he clicks away in Azeroth in the background. “Whoa, are they playing Luke Skywalker’s theme??” 😂


SIX. #idie https://t.co/Y3rFpIxuzN


@mattallen Doesn’t it though?


RT @chicagotribune: Northwestern graduate marrying British guy rn https://t.co/50UphKcJ2W https://t.co/WjRcYL3oxc


@simonraikallen Rodd said the same thing! 😂


Uh, did the SBS commentator just call her “Princess Harry”?!


@Mandy_Kerr @Malarkey That appears to be Aurora’s crown. Am I correct?


The SBS commentator just said “Queen Victoria’s bush,” and SOMEBODY in this house is pissing themself laughing.


@codepo8 @Malarkey @Mandy_Kerr I don’t have any crowns in the house. I only have a fez.


@Malarkey @codepo8 @Mandy_Kerr Does one wear the tassle on the left or the right? https://t.co/nPWdksFvaM


@brockleyboyo Damn. I don’t think we have any Lillet…


@brockleyboyo *I* know his real name. Everybody knows his real name. Except Rodd, evidently. 😂


@minxdragon @scalzi Nope? Had that one bookmarked for ages!
