Just our @donmcgowan.bsky.social of @noholdspod.bsky.social fame, casually being mentioned in The New European/The New World for being threatened by @gbnewscorporate.bsky.social disgrace Ben Leo.

Just a little PSA for Rylan & all in the not politics industries from @noholdspod.bsky.social

No matter how many name changes Reform pull on Companies House, We all know that Farage is the controlling factor. It will never change. Watch the full video on YouTube: youtu.be/Ryi9rO5E7CY @badassmutha.bsky.social | @donmcgowan.bsky.social

I did another Data Deep Dive. Shall I just go ahead and call them Don's Data Deep Dives? Seems likely to happen! Anyways, it's a long post about Rupert Lowe and his artificial engagement boosting. Link below, but image attached also. threadreaderapp.com/thread/18917...

A little article by me on the disproportionate media coverage of Reform across our social media news. Thanks to @bylinetimes.bsky.social for publishing. —• bylinetimes.com/2025/02/17/h...

So I did a bit of a data exercise on Twitter/X using X Pro. I wanted to see how our media outlets reported the various political parties, particularly, Reform. Data was run over a month 10th Jan - 10th Feb. It's ... interesting. PDF is available on request. threadreaderapp.com/thread/18896...

Lovely day on Twitter when you call out a sitting MP for posting a picture of a noose and your account gets mass reported and then locked. Obviously the original post is still up due to the army of Reform bots opposing the community note.

I want to post this here to garner some reaction and feedback. Apologies to anyone who has to go there to read it but I find the twitter article features useful. One of the few things left there. x.com/donmcgowan/s...

Cracking headache since before dawn today. Tonight’s activity: bowling with the Scouts. Fml. 🤦‍♂️

Remember when nobody knew who Alex Burghart was? Tomorrow.

Well I see it didn’t take long for the pornbots to find the nice place. Inevitable I guess but not great.

Thought for the day: Musk's life goal was to own X Corp; a dominating single lettered behemoth of a company. He spent $44B on his dream, and bought Twitter, a thriving social media platform. Now he's killed X stone dead, lost his money ... and everyone still calls it Twitter. Happy Wednesday. 😀

Coming to any photo opportunity at any time you’ll have ‘em The new Tory B*llox Band From left to right Close my Companies while they owe HMRC Philps Claim Anything I Can McVey How Did I End Up As A Minister Atkins And band leader … KemiKaze BadEnough

Right. Let's get out ahead of this story [Pearson style]. There is no snow in Gloucestershire, and if anyone dares to suggest there is ... you're going on a list.

👋🏻 HELLO! Welcome to our Blue Sky profile. If you could be a love and share our profile to your followers, please, we would be much obliged. Thanks. babe x bsky.app/profile/larr...

One of my, all time, favourite gigs last night. They Might Be Giants are incredible live. What a treat, but our band photobomb selfie didn't quite work out! @tmbg.bsky.social

To celebrate the exodus from Twitter, here’s a positive one (from 2019) xxxx

I'm up in the dark as usual and sorting through some of my photos. Anyone want to play a game of: Name That Castle? Of course you do[n't]. Anyway, here's some castles.

I keep forgetting to come here and start posting but here's another recommendation of a beautiful place to visit; this time in the West Country/Cotswolds. Cotswold Sculpture Park is a hidden gem and stunning to walk around. Great food and coffee too. cotswoldsculpturepark.co.uk

So, if I've judged the Blue Place correctly, we can post about nice things again and not have them ripped to pieces? I'd like to start with a recommendation of a beautiful place in north Wales. Once of the most picturesque campsites I've been to in the UK. Photos from this week. gwynant.com

<Enters Bluesky, pops head over the wall and sniffs the air> Hmmm, no whiff of nazis. This might be a good place to be.
