Introduce yourself with 5 animals you've seen in the wild: Worm (garden) Hedgehog (flat as a pancake A470) Dog (loads of different ones) Seagull (nicked my chips) Welsh Dragon (ate some mushrooms a bloke who looked like Gandalf gave me)

Good summary And all aerospace companies have to test all computers for exactly their susceptibility in order tk qualify their equipment. usually by blasting them with radiography equipment trying to cover all SIU frequencies #CosmicRaysAreABastard

It takes a special kind of right-wing British political party to literally sell black shirts. Are you going to tell them? Or shall I?

Very Judean Peoples Front v Peoples Front of Judea stuff. Splitters.

To begin with today, happy 117th anniversary to this entirely reasonable cat

In Goodwin Curve news, @willhaycardiff.bsky.social's latest newsletter notes how the immediate aftermath of the Welsh 20 mph speed limits saw a petition raise 400,000 signatures. Today, a second petition has just 2387 signatures

So much of civilisation depends on people playing by the rules. Then people discover that, if they don't play by the rules, nothing happens! The sanctions most of us think are there actually aren't. A system based on people being good chaps has no response when they stop being good chaps.

Now you’re talking! 💥

The English name Friday comes from the Old English frīġedæġ, meaning the "day of Frig", a result of an old convention associating the Nordic goddess Frigg with the Roman goddess Venus after whom the planet was named. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friday

One of the reasons i love tolkien is the theme that despair is an enemy and it makes clear you don’t need to have constant hope, you can get by with grim determination or spite but never despair

Today we’ll get latest net immigration figures - They’ll show immigration for work is plummeting. Why is this not part of the discussion on Rachel Reeves balancing her books & stalled growth? For every 100,000 drop in net immigration, the OBR adds £7bn to the deficit. #r4today

I still have my house in the UK, as never intended to permanently leave. It’s been rented out for over 10yrs now. I’ve always tried to see everythng from my tenant’s pov. New tenants protection coming next year. Means the management agency can’t force contract renewals every year 1/3

I’m intrigued to know why this started trending… I first came across the term on the Mary Whitehouse Experience circa 1990, sat listening illicitly under the bedcovers www.radioechoes.com?page=series&...

Bruce Lee was born 85 years ago tomorrow (27th Nov). Bruce's last film before his untimely death in 1973 was the hugely popular Enter The Dragon. The film inspired Lee Perry to create this unique tribute... youtu.be/cKt2lVkonmE?... #reggae #reggaesky #vinylsky #vinyl #musicsky #leeperry

Hopefully we can stop discussing fiscal policy and the economy soon and get back to surging immigration. (Editor: please check).

Madagascan food for lunch The lady put a much bigger dollop of chilli than normal in the box, which is very firey. I didn’t notice and mixed it all in. Was tasty but a bit too warm! 😬 Think i’ll be suffering tomorrow morning…

A la surprise générale (non!!!), le meme message sur X revient plus ou moins à ceci 👇

My mum ordered a new freezer from AO and when the delivery van came, it did not have a tail lift - apparently the company won't pay for them The two guys were expected to lift freezers, washing machines etc off the back of the van themselves...which does not seem safe This guy can GTFO

It’s Budget Day! The OBR publishes its latest outlook once the Chancellor has completed her statement in Parliament. My all-time favourite cartoon on the subject, by @mooseallain.bsky.social:

Imagine TV News covering this farmer protest - banned, but turned up anyway, grinding capital to a halt - if it were about Palestine or climate change, not inheritance tax. Would they present protesters as heroes? Or showing "I need to get to work" and "me auld mam missed her hip operation" voxpops?

You know that GB Plc’s education system is broken when universities are referred to as “higher education providers” and the university system is called “the market”

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

Is this seat that looks like it has a Derry accent conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person, perhaps one of your da's mates saying "Did ye aye mucker, right enough?". Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

I’m a past winner of the Orwell Prize & won partly because I exposed Vote Leave’s unlawful activities. Michael Gove was its co-convener & refused to answer a single q. He’s now a judge of the prize & our world is truly one that Orwell would recognise bylinetimes.com/2025/11/25/m...

As a commuter you can't argue with that.

My attendance record in the European Parliament was the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs, yet I managed to turn up to vote AGAINST plans to tackle Russian misinformation. Thankfully this is of no interest to the media.

Ffs, plying The Harder They Come tonight and my left speaker has given up the ghost. Some good but small missions from about 25yrs ago. Will have a fiddle at the weekend but i think i will finally bite the bullet on some old Cabasse speakers i’ve had my eye on

I hope that pie is up there for you Jimmy #RIPJimmyCliff

I've been thinking a lot about my book Eat Sleep Cycle lately. It's the reason I met @timcyclesthecoast.bsky.social. It's about my 10-week odyssey around the coast of Britain, which Tim read, then did the journey himself. We became firm friends after that unique and life-changing shared experience.

Some “AI” bot popped up on my work computer. I think my job is safe
