It's a miserable Blue Monday. We're months from another holiday, it's freezing outside, and Trump's gurning mug's all over the news. Need cheering up? Look no further. Happy #BlueMonday, Bluesky! youtu.be/chdNRTxeotU 🟦 Help beat the blues - please share! #bluemonday2025 #comedy #humour #neworder

It's that time of the month folks for your dose of #OffGridPod #trivia … at offgrid.tlmb.net/2026/10/25/b...

Advertising and marketing people: STOP calling everything "iconic"; unless there's an icon involved, it's not fucking iconic!

Didn't know Keir Starmer was Russell Brand's defence lawyer.

Chester has confirmed that if a"Tom Thumb"-sized man ever climbed into his box unannounced, he too would maul him to death.

Dismayed to learn of plans to screen Stonehenge so it can't be seen from the A303 (apparently to stop people hanging out of car windows to take pictures). Getting a glimpse of the monument is always a highlight of a drive down to the SW. We shouldn't let a few idiots spoil that for the rest of us.

Always a great listen. About to check out the latest ep...

We went to have a gander at one of the two posh French hotels where they've been filming the new series of The White Lotus, The Martinez in Cannes. Didn't spot any stars, apart from this pigeon poser.

I came first in the Clacton by-election! Of the candidates who bothered to turn up for the results. Here is my victory speech!

Too bad we are all blind now because it's the Perseids later tonight

Charlie #cat doing a bit of light reading

I thought the pictures of the Thetford anti-asylum protesters must have been AI generated, but no - they really do have extra fingers.

Spent many a night in the 90s chilling out to William Orbit, especially Strange Cargo III. RIP. youtu.be/PneAIfv30jA?...

There now follows a party election broadcast by the Count Binface Party, And if I do say so myself, it's a banger. #VoteBinface #Clacton

Well, that's clearly going to end well isn't it? 🙄 Artificial Intelligence used to design brand new viruses - BBC News share.google/BAjABDnCGv1z...

Westminster council wants to clamp down on 'vertical drinking' in Soho (they mean standing up in and outside pubs)... I say these po-faced, boozercidal, killjoy cunts should fuck right off. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

Well done Spain and L.Yamal.

All the major parties are pulling out of the race for Clacton, so it could be a straight Farage/Binface runoff. Go on, people of Clacton, you know it makes sense. #binfaceforclacton

This is THE single most annoying thing about Android. Randomly turns volume to inaudible, meaning you have to get phone out of pocket and rewind whatever you're listening to. If I didn't need it at that level I wouldn't have it at that level! Impossible to turn off, even with developer options.

Close match between Joint and Serena

**Yards Short, Taylor – Ep.75** For our 5th (not 9th) anniversary we find ourselves yards short, Taylor, as we pass through New Albany, only hanging around a brief while to swiftly make a few puns. === If that sounds like the sort of thing you wouldn’t […] [Original post on offgrid.tlmb.net]

Just reading @doctorow.pluralistic.net's latest, which - as usual - is the most pithy, witty, accurate, fair, essential and impeccably-argued piece of tech industry criticism you're likely to read this year. So do.

He's bloody good that Messy...

Jeez. This road's full of fucking speed bumps.

Was going to post a mashup I'd done until I read this. Seems a bit harsh to treat this guy like a profiteering copyright pirate and give him a sentence (harsher than that handed to a lot of rapists) if he was just a DJ making and flogging his own unofficial remixes... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Don't believe, and never have done, that you can solve social problems by just banning stuff. #crass #ineffective #posturing

The scriptwriters of Disclosure Day need to be abducted by aliens and whisked off to the far reaches of the known universe for the rest of their existence. Not seen such a pile of utterly nonsensical drivel for many a long year. 👽

Right then, off you fuck now, Keir Tarmac, you soporific, sinusoidal waste of space.

**Parrot Blabs Smile Recipe – Ep. 73** In which the lass on the bus may have been pondering ‘Mars (anag.)’, solving a maze, anticipating a dessert at the Fat Duck or worrying about the Bill(y/ie). === If that sounds like your sort of prescription for […] [Original post on offgrid.tlmb.net]

New album from @boardsofcanada.bsky.social is absolutely amazing and well worth the 13-year wait! Absolutely f'kin outrageous that Trump nicked one of the tracks for a promo video yesterday though. Hope they sue him for a shitload: pitchfork.com/news/boards-...

Just spinning Robert Görl (+DJ Sylvie Marks)'s latest, "Dark Silver Moon Light". If you like classic D.A.F., it won't disappoint. Excellent stuff.
