During Wednesday’s coronavirus update, Health and Social Care Secretary Matt Hancock said that people who work in care would be given a badge like the NHS, one worn by their partner workers in hospitals etc, which simply says “CARE”.

He described it as “a badge of honour”.

But it was nothing compared to what he was wearing when he turned up to BBC Breakfast today. His slippers.

‘I forgot, I’m an idiot. It sounds mad. I did a signing in Bristol and I’ve got a signing tonight. I just stay in my slippers and I got in the car and I’m, ahhh, I ain’t got my trainers, so …’

A critic said Netflix’s The Witcher was unrealistic because women can’t sword fight and was cut to shreds

New Netflix fantasy drama The Witcher is proving popular with lots of viewers , especially those who are missing Game of Thrones .
Indeed , the eight-part series featuring a sorceress , a princess , and a medieval mutant monster hunter with supernatural abilities ( played by Henry Cavill ) , is so popular that its Netflix ’ s highest-rated original programme on IMDb .
But someone isn ’ t happy .
Specifically , US Conservative commentator Andrew Klavan – he ’ s got his own podcast on the right-wing website The Daily Wire and everything – isn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s a woman in it who fights with a sword ( he ’ s talking about the character of Queen Calanthe ) and women can ’ t fight with swords .
She ’ s not even ladylike , for goodness sake !
This is what he had to say ( feel free to skip straight to the takedowns , because it ’ s worth it ) .
‘ Immediately I was put off by the fact that there ’ s a queen in this who fights like a man .
There ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with swords .
‘ And I just hate these scenes , because no women can fight with swords .
Zero women can fight with a sword .
‘ What I mean by that is in a situation where you are fighting men who are used to fighting with swords , you are going to get killed if you are a woman fighting with a sword 100 percent of the time .
‘ A woman with a sword could kill somebody who doesn ’ t know how to fight with a sword .
But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ are swinging this five to ten pound sword again and again and again , against much , much , much stronger men , they are going to kill you .
‘ They should have made the character a man .

‘ It was a feminist statement and I was like ‘ please , give me a break.
’ I don ’ t if @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is not the way that any woman behaves.

We all have a person in our lives who needs the occasional (constant) reminder every now and again (all of the time). Indeed, maybe that person is you.
For us this text exchange shared on Imgur was relatable. Far too relatable.
A happy ending, then. Of sorts.

Self-own of the day goes to this chap, a guy called Mike Smith who styles himself as @USWeatherExpert on Twitter.
We only mention this because he got into a Twitter row with two women over the Australian fires and the role global warming had to play in them.
It all began when someone called Kate Marvel said this and, well, have a read for yourself.
The number of people yelling "it's arson!" at me like that somehow changes the molecular structure of carbon dioxide is truly wild https://t.co/OpWyckyxvM — Kate Marvel (@DrKateMarvel) January 6, 2020
I research wildfire. Fire is controlled by two things: ignition, and fuel. Climate change impacts both by increasing flammability (the likelihood something will burn) and the availability of dead, dry stuff on the landscape to burn. Folks yelling “arson” don’t understand fire. — Dr. Jacquelyn Gill (@JacquelynGill) January 6, 2020
Cue Mike!
That is just nonsense. Theoretically, one might be able to blame lightning-related fire on global warming. Arson has nothing to do climate.
We don’t understand Australia’s drought/heat anymore than we understand what caused America’s Dust Bowl (in the pre-global warming era). — Mike Smith (@USWeatherExpert) January 6, 2020
Just because you don’t understand doesn’t mean the rest of us don’t. I’ve already explained this; update your understanding, please. — Dr. Jacquelyn Gill (@JacquelynGill) January 7, 2020
I understand just fine. I recommend you spend some time in meteorology and climatology classrooms. — Mike Smith (@USWeatherExpert) January 7, 2020
I do. As the professor. Maybe you should take one of my classes sometime; I’ll teach you all about the Dust Bowl, fire/vegetation/drought relationships, and how CSIRO predicted increased bushfire risk in Australia due to anthropogenic warming over a decade ago. — Dr. Jacquelyn Gill (@JacquelynGill) January 7, 2020
Oof! And because once wasn’t enough.
I do. As the instructor. https://t.co/8yXtrPeBza — Dr. Jacquelyn Gill (@JacquelynGill) January 7, 2020
Boom!
And just in case you were wondering, Dr. Jacquelyn Gill is Associate Professor at the University of Maine’s Climate Change Institute while Dr Marvel is a climate scientist with a PhD in theoretical particle physics.
Mike, in the interests of balance and all that, is a ‘Husband, father, grandfather, scientist, entrepreneur and author. Management consultant and professional speaker that makes his topics come alive.’

To be fair, weather isn’t climate. pic.twitter.com/mMSkDPI2k6 — Dr. Jacquelyn Gill (@JacquelynGill) January 7, 2020
This is awesome. Mr. @USWeatherExpert simultaneously mansplains AND sciencesplains incoherent #climate science to two of the smartest women climate scientists in the world. pic.twitter.com/2H1JvUgpSB — Peter Gleick (@PeterGleick) January 7, 2020
That is the most egregious self-own I’ve ever seen on Twitter. And that’s saying something. — Dr. Genevieve Guenther (@DoctorVive) January 7, 2020
Hello, police? There's been a murder. Yes, the deceased is a mansplainer. https://t.co/0DAQVuoA6T — Kate Bevan (@katebevan) January 7, 2020
Last word to Mike.
I didn’t say she wasn’t smart (of course she is). I said she didn’t understand the atmosphere. She doesn’t. — Mike Smith (@USWeatherExpert) January 7, 2020
Well, kind of.

We’re no experts but by the look on this guy’s face he thought he was well ahead on points and, well, he really wasn’t holding back.

1.
Several years ago, while traveling the south Oregon coast, I stopped at a gas station/antique shop/dive diner for lunch. The owner was convinced I was @aaronpaul_8 from Breaking Bad.

I was riding bikes with my daughter on Fri The 13th, & a black cat scurried across the bike path in front of us.

I saw my neighbor lady who had recently been hospitalized walking in her backyard and told her I was glad she was home and feeling better. She smiled at me.

My house burned to the ground on Christmas morning when I was a child. However, our Christmas tree was directly beneath my parents king size waterbed on the top floor. It popped and soaked all the presents preventing them from Catching Fire… — Logi B 513 (@Logi513) January 7, 2020

Delivered $140+ pizza to NBA player house. Couldn’t change 2 $100 bills-told him I’d be back. At next stop I was held up at gunpoint. Ran for it & called cops.

I wrote a report about aardvarks in 2nd grade and got so into them that I wrote a letter to a stuffed-animal co. suggesting they add one to their lineup.

I got hit by a cop on Friday the 13th when I was in the 7th grade. Broke my arm. Worked out well – same cop pulled me over a couple times in high school. He’d see me and say “oh, it’s you,” then let me go. — (@glyphwizard) January 7, 2020

My girlfriend years ago wrote a quick thank you in a $10 bill for tip and months later that same bill ended up in my hands as change. I still have that bill because of the coincidence. — Harry Balczak (@lookmahvelous2) January 7, 2020
