@officialmelbrooks.bsky.social happy birthday Mr Brooks. I'd just like to thank you for the joy you've brought into my life.

Has anyone got an idea when the revolution is going to start? I'd hate to miss it.

I find it strange that in the culinary world the use of the name 'Ramen' has legitimised what is essentially a fucking Pot Noodle.

Do ICE know that they are Trump's Brownshirts? At least they had a uniform and would identify themselves.

Has he actually declared war or is he just kidnapping random South American heads of state?

Lovely colour in the sky this morning.

Here's a wee fact about #Scotland that many don't know.... shocking!🤐 #endlondonrule

Let me get this straight,Trump has threatened to sue the BBC for a billion dollars over a clip which he claims was edited to make it appear as though he directly incited the insurrection on January 6 2021 when all he was really doing was actually trying to directly incite an insurrection.

Why do so many incompetent and downright nasty people rise to the top in politics? Hitler Mussolini Thatcher Regan Truss Johnson Trump Farage Netanyahu Maduro The list is endless.

Keeping people in poverty is an expensive luxury. My column on the false economies of austerity, which costs us all a fortune. Despite the government's claims, austerity continues under Labour. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Yet another night where sleep evades me. It's like Hypnos and Morpheus are conspiring against me. They don't want me in their realm. I drifted off at one point and woke thinking I'd had a good night's sleep. Ten minutes had passed. Fuck. So here's one for the night owls youtu.be/9S9WSngT5R8?...

Wee visit from a ginger deer this morning.

Nice turnout for bikes, banter and bacon butties in our little village in Normandy.

Bike day today, here to Cancale, coast road to St Malo, lunch at Dol de Bretagne then a long meandering ride back via Sainte Hilaire. It wouldn't have been quite so meandering if I hadn't taken the wrong road.

A kestrel just outside my window.

First trip out on the bike this year! Donville les Bains and Carolle Plage.

Your country has never been leader of the free world except in it's own self declared ignorance. Did you 'lead' two world wars? No, you just joined in when it started to affect you. Looks like you might lead us into the third though.

Lovely big pheasant hanging about in my field.

Strange what you can find in Aldi France.

Toads in the garden last night.

Had a visit from a lovely wee woodpecker this morning.

Monet's garden at Giverny.

Clearing out my barn in Normandy that hasn't been disturbed for 80 yrs and I found this US paratroopers dagger.

I wish that winter would end. This one seems to have lasted 18 months.

Buzzard catching a mole in my field.

Skye.

A day in the country, many years ago.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT. If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

For those saying it wasn't a Nazi salute. Keep posting it. Keep sharing it.

Liz Truss tanked the British economy. I'll wait for my letter telling me to cease and desist.

It's nice to think that every individual is unique. Unless you believe in horoscopes. Roughly 640,000,000 people share your star sign.

AOC: “Oh, I don’t think we’re witnessing the START of an oligarchy. I think we are fully here.” 🇺🇸

If a monkey hoards more bananas than it can eat while all the other monkeys in their group starve, the monkeys would get together, attack the hoarder and eat his bananas.

You might think you are cool, but you're not Julie Andrews on her motorcycle cool.

I bought this in 2005, full police livery, lights and siren. I had to cover up the police signs but rode it for a while like that. Didn't half scare the shit out of BMW drivers on the M3.

Videos with subtitles are great for a person like me who is hard of hearing. What we don't need is the subtitles highlighted on each word, fancy effects or words appearing one at a time. It doesn’t help, it's just a distraction. We know how to read words in the right order.

America was given a choice between a lawless, amoral monster and a qualified, intelligent, joyful woman of color—and it chose the monster. We need to reckon with the reality of what that says about so many of us here. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/america-ch...

Child Poverty % (children living in households below the minimum wage) Denmark 2.4% Finland 3.2% Norway 3.6% Sweden 3.6% The UK 32.1% All four of those countries have child benefits, paid by taxing the rich, that make it almost impossible for a child to be in poverty.

Lovely horsie at our local Xmas Market.

Christmas is coming. Look out for Krampus.
