#OnThisDay 899 Death of Alfred the Great who became king of the Anglo-Saxons on the death of his brother Æthelred (no, not that one). He defeated repeated Viking invasions (yes, those bastards again) & laid the foundations of modern England.

RIP to an incredible actor, Alfred Bester is one of my all time favorite Lawful Evil villains

Vampires are inherently Catholic. Werewolves are inherently Protestant. Zombies are inherently Atheist. Thank you for coming to my presentation.

The 1950s were such a fabulous time for healthy living in Great Britain. Especially for young folk.

Kitty Jay, thank you @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social Tom Cox for reminding me of this. youtu.be/ZLrOR6swYPI?...

THIS KING I saw on the way home tho. Awesome commitment - DO NOT CROSS THE STREAMS

This is a beautiful, beautiful thing

It's built on the theft of other people's stuff and won't stop telling everyone how great it is despite all evidence to the contrary. It's already about as British as it could be.

Ryvita, founded in 1925, and holder of a Royal Warrant to King Char... wait, hang on.

I’m on a train Were in a field Thankfully we are getting updates This is the sort of only in England experience that makes me lovehate this place “We don’t know why we are stopping here” “We don’t usually stop here” “I hope things are ok”

And with that- my part of - this journey ends as others continue onwards, with the support of the regular announcements I’m assured. Why drive if you could have such experiences? #chooseTrains

If robins were lads on a night out they’d be the kind who wore short sleeve shirts without a coat in minus two degree temperatures and stole supermarket trolleys for a laugh.

Maybe the BBC should get someone who actually knows what he is talking about then.

The George deserves your custom, lovely people…

I advise every tech manager to learn the phrase: "that's a tomorrow question. ask me then." for use in interactions with project managers when necessary.

because Tesla is fucked.

I'm loving the replies to this. Give yourself a laugh and have a read.

being a woman is crazy because you'll be minding your own business slightly hungover at the cafe and the whole time a man is writing a substack article in his head about what your frail, waif-like body indicates about society

Go to your camera and search ‘boat’ and post one that you like. #photography

He’s so good at this

Thread.

American journalists: please tell us about the wonderful things you've done. British journaliats: why is this lying bastard lying to me?

using the 49-day measurement for a Truss, a Zacharia would be 0.143 Trusses

Dear followers, please RT if you can!

A reminder of how our music/age perceptions need updating -- a London council is offering a "day disco for over 55s" featuring music from 1950s, 60s and 70s But if you're 56 years old, most of that is your parents' music, not yours.

2 Days to go until the Mûr de Ned Hill Climb with @xobikes.bsky.social .... ...If you are planning on coming, we need a handful of volunteers to help Gazza, the results and timings boss, and maybe Ollie on sausages, and me on bunting.... Interested in helping out? perhaps you could arrive by 10?

Well, Bread Week certainly proved a bit of a challenge for our bakers on this week’s #GBBO. But in baking, as in life, making mistakes is how we learn. Onwards and upwards!

The BBC can do a documentary about JKR’s “views on trans rights” as long as they blur her completely throughout, like a t-shirt.

because is/ought posting is in fine form on bluesky today, a pop quiz: as someone who works in software and had what seemed to be ironclad job security only a couple of years ago, do you think I want anything in this thread to be true

This seems like IMMENSE fun.

UK Reform as well..

Respect for all Retirees (a fear of all TGO Challengers).

A thread in 20 photographs, telling the story of the long and fraught road of a novel that came back from the dead...

A Grin and Share it article I think @quietriotpod.bsky.social ? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I watched Strictly for the first time. Josh Widdecombe standing there like a third wheel, I was embarrassed for him. Don’t think I’ll bother again.

Huge respect for Caroline Lucas this week, repeatedly standing up to antisemitic entryism while remaining staunchly critical of Israel and the government's failures on that front. You can see why she used to be leader

I really enjoyed Paris Police 1900 on the BBC. The Commissioner was refreshingly honest when his wife shot his arch-enemy. In a British version he might’ve been horrified and disowned her but being French he didn’t… Or maybe it would have been less Ripper Street and more SAS Rogue Heroes?

Dave sounds like an absolute cunt.

rip to one of the coolest software engineers who ever lived
