Great to see NYT Games app supporting diversity today. Having a Strands puzzle in a language other than English was well overdue. Congrats to them for such a bold move.

Major downside of living in France, apart from the absolutely catastrophic fires this year 😩, is the scarcity of English books without paying a fortune or using the tax dodger site. Recent trip to the UK gave up this great haul including a signed @brookmyre.bsky.social from Pz What to read next?

Weird how really big accounts will take your art and plaster it all over every one of their socials but never think about crediting you. Maybe it's just me that finds that strange.🤷‍♂️

Neither Spain nor Argentina will be likely to play anywhere like that tomorrow. Both teams must be so pissed off that they weren’t playing tomorrow night. But then again stakes wouldn’t be the same.

Might just wait until after tomorrows game before I ring the office during my holiday

Been on the go since 6am this morning. Now made it to Paddington and now this beauty will keep me sustained for the next 5 hours until Penzance #thingsiyearnfor

Tickets booked for The Odyssey at BFI IMAX! 👍 And it seems it’s on a 24 hour loop - can’t imagine the crowd at the 4:20am showing 🤔

Doing a bit of family visiting next week and mightily chuffed to discover that both @brookmyre.bsky.social and @ambroseparry.bsky.social are in conversation at the Acorn Penzance. Tickets booked straight away!

Exactly this. And to think we were all worried teenagers over “home taping is killing music”.

Second extreme heat wave of the year and it’s going to be hell. Kids need to go to school, I need to go to work and we all need to sleep. But global warming is just a myth Nigel

Good riddance! But not quite brave enough to put his own balls on the line. Now get Palantir and all his private healthcare chums out of the NHS.

Hey there billionaires, how’s it going ? Just a thought, but if you can find 45M$ in spare change to try and block a wealth tax, then maybe you could actually afford to share a little of your obscene wealth and do some good in the world. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Morrissey. On a tractor. Playing bongos to a herd of cows. #totp #wtf

Watching this from afar, but can’t help wondering what’s the difference between this and Truss’s spectacular crashing of the UK economy? Only it will have an extra zero on the cost to the US population. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

Who can blame him ?

The scandal is only a scandal because some naughty people told you about it. Not because I leaked classified info from my personal phone to my wife and others, using a potentially insecure platform and avoiding official channels that ensure accountability. Oh no www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Well good evening Planet Earth. Log on today and discovered I’ve gained 200+ followers! What is going on? Bots ? Do I share a name with someone currently in the news? Or is it US Immigration checking me out before my next trip ? Whatever, thanks everyone. Hope I don’t disappoint you all

It seems some taxes are more important to collect than others. Or perhaps, as @privateeyenews.bsky.social have argued for many years, there’s a 2 tier system where the little folk pay and the rich get special treatment. Time for serious reform of HMRC, not more cuts to vulnerable groups.

Wow! It’s @markradcliffe.bsky.social and @marcrileydj.bsky.social from about 50 million years ago.

Can only be humbled by Madame Pelicot. And yet I’m astonished, angry and ashamed that so many were willing, and obviously looking for an opportunity, to do what they did. Whilst an ocean away, a rapist takes power in January. I fear even more for the females of this world.

If you’ve already heard Richard Dawson you’ll be very excited by this. If you haven’t, then you are missing out on a very, very special artist.

What is this with people following me who already follow 30k+ others? It’s not like I’m a prolific skeeter or in any way famous. Do we all think “bot” when we see this and block instantly?

Just a question…what’s happens if Trump gets sentenced to time in prison before January? Asking for the world.

Just, just….never mind. A reminder that leaving Twitter was crucial to my sanity

Just seen the half time report in the #ENGvGRE game. Think I’ll go and watch #Threads to cheer myself up.

My 2024 Christmas cards are here! gailmyerscough.co.uk/christmas-cards

An impressive piece of work, chapeau well deserved here! I can only imagine there wasn’t a piece of material large enough for the full roster 😮

They can’t help themselves. Seriously how do people like this get paid from the public purse?

A real chef’s kiss there from @mrjamesob.bsky.social Chapeau!

Is it just me, or does everyone sing the #DoctorWho theme along to the opening sequence of #OMITB ?

T’internet has been won again today. Absolute chef’s kiss

Please, send your thoughts and prayers. Not sure we’ll make it through the weekend

And this, my friends, is exactly the way the world should be. I’m still recovering from 3 years working for a company where 60 hour weeks, 1am meetings and 10 hours a day in meetings were “normal”. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Blimey! Not what we expect to see in Ennui-sur-Blasé!
