Here's to all the #arcraiders who #dontshoot and end up on the nice servers giving away gear and helping out strangers! You make the game!

So long #chrisrea off to the Great big auberge in the sky. A great songwriter and a hugely underrated blues guitarist.

Oculus, reclaimed tree logs and branches, metal, mirrored domes, The Morton Arboretum, Chicago, Illinois, by contemporary US land artists Olga Ziemska #WomensArt

The most beautiful Sunday album of all time. #whatsonmyturntable #hem #vinyl #nowspinning

www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n... I attended Rutger Bregman's #reithlecture in #edinburgh. Frankly I found him to be full of hot air. His calls for a new utopia were pie in the soy ideas. When pressed on his to make this a reality he couldn't present any plan. He was more interested in creating

If you want to know why people aren't engaged with the media, and what's wrong with modern Britain. It's article on staff recommended Christmas gifts is a list of middle class snobbish tat. 42 quid for an ice cream scoop.

While the @theguardian.com is generally a decent paper with good integrity, it really pisses me off that it's slowly becoming a marketing tool for middle class consumer products. Take Samuel Gibbs the technology reporter. In three years he's almost constantly given 4 or 5 star ratings to products.

Hi @benaaronovitch.bsky.social there's a lot of talk at the moment about the future of #drwho. As a previous Dr Who writer, What's your take? What would you do if they gave you creative control?

After all these years, & a politics degree, & decades trying to teach it, & about 3 million mistily-grasped texts, I’ve finally accepted that it’s a 10 word phrase from a superhero movie that most precisely expresses my political beliefs: “I don’t like bullies. I don’t care where they’re from.”

www.largsandmillportnews.com/news/2552201... I can't wait to see the remake of Whisky Galore ! I'm pretty sure this isn't what #travis had in mind when they sang #driftwood. #scotland #sextoy #whathefuck #dildo

what an absolute scam @musescore.bsky.social is. I go there to buy one piece of sheet music and it signs me up for a 69 quid subscription. Get bend you scam artists, I'll buy my sheet music from someone with a less predatory business model #musescore #scam

The next time you bump in to your local neighbo(ur)hood Reform/Maga supporter, just chill out and sing the @idlesband.bsky.social's to them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkF_...

I'm wondering whether Chris Morris (he who did #fourlions) has ever considered doing a sequel based on a group of roundabout painting Reform voters? The country could really do with being cheered up right now. And some people could do with a little forced introspection. #britain #fucked #uk #now

Cancelled my #disneyplus subscription. When they asked why I said: #jimmykimmel. You either stand against #facism or you're part of the problem. Shame on you. #antifacist #standtogether for #peace

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

www.theguardian.com/books/2025/s... Hey @teamlabouruk.bsky.social What's next? Will we burn her books? Either sort yourselves out or stop calling yourselves Labour because you're just a pale shadow of the Tories right now. I'm ashamed that I ever voted for you.

First they came for the immigrants, who only came to work. Next they came for the scientists, who came to study. Then they came for the comedians, because they exercised free speech. The USA stands at a crossroads right now. (con't).

I've just seen #weapons Fuuuuuuuuuuuuck

I can't wait to get home and see this one full screen! #birds #birdspotting #pjotography #wildlifephotography #twitcher #greywagtail

Hey @developers.google.com if you're going to fix the size of the #googledrive App on #windows11 At least make sure that all of your content fits in the window! PS The old app was way better, so far I've not managed to back up a single file with the new one! #softwarefailures

Hey @bsky.app is there any chance that you could make the trending ribbon regional? A whole ribbon of US politics is not too of our priority list when we have war in Europe. Ta. Ps a selectable list of topics would be great!

@spotify.com can you explain why artists that I have never listened to are appearing in my favourite artists list? Is this you injecting paid promotions? Because if it is, that's just shitbaggrery!

Rumours in #westminster that #starmer has selected someone for v the Ambasador role now that Mandleson has suitably embarrassed him...

www.theguardian.com/music/2025/s... "Radiohead condemn ‘exploitative’ touts and resale sites ahead of tour". It would be nice if they condemned genocide too...

Triangles are my favourite shape, the points where two lines meet.

#nowspinning #nowplaying hot off the press, delivered today! The new album from #suede or #thelondonsuede if you live on the other side of the pond. I liked the singles, let's see if the album can fulfill its promises. #vinyl #whatsonmyturntable #antidepressants Can't wait for the gig in Edinburgh

Last #birdspotting #photo for now. I finally managed to get a shot of the elusive, and oh so #cute #longtailedtit. Possibly the most #kawaii bird in existence. #birds #birdphotography And no this isn't AI, they really do look like that!

Sometimes you hope for a #closeup #photography shot and it just works! The #Robin always helps because they're just so courageous. #birds #birdspotting #birdphotography

I finally got a shot of a #lapwing in full glorious colour. #birds #birdphotography #birdspotting. I could sit and watch them fly and peewit all day! They're so beautiful! #photography

New rule. A parent may only propose removing a book from the school library only after reading it in its entirety and delivering a book report to the librarian. Until then no discussion shall be entered into.

Hey @theguardian.com if you wonder why I won't subscribe it's because you pay someone to write guff like this.

For one I wish the @theguardian.com would write an article about camping that extols the joys of the great outdoors without trying to sell you a ton of middle class stuff. www.theguardian.com/thefilter/20... If you really need all this shit to go camping then maybe it's not for you.

#nowplaying #vinyl #vinylsky with a fantastic #scottish #sunset like this, there's only one album that perfectly suits the mood. #boardsofcanada #tomorrowsharvest #whatsonmyturntable #edm #chillout

@robwords.bsky.social have you seen this article in the guardian about a failed attempt in British schools to use a new phenetic alphabet? www.theguardian.com/education/20...

Come on #bbc #6music why do you still have Huey Morgan on? I don't mind the music (in fact I like his tastes) but when he talks it's like listening to a wittering manchild. He's almost as grating as Chris Evans.

I wish someone would produce a weekly #music chart for sales of albums that are actually written and played by the artists. None of this 20 credited writers on a song bs. Songs written and played by the band, produced by a producer and a sound engineer. Is that realistic in this day and age?

#nowplaying: It was a friday trip to @thornerecords.bsky.social today. Went for the #littlebarrie I ordered (cheers guys), stayed for the #jjcale album I didn't have! #vinyl #vinylsky #whatsonmyturntable #guitar #recordshop #edinburgh #music

It's that great time again when you listen to a new #kinggizzard album for the first time and you have absolutely no idea where it's going to go. All you know is that it's going to be f'ing brilliant!

Another shot from yesterday's trip to Loch of Strathbeg. A very soggy female #yellowhammer after the thunderstorm washed us all out! Photographer was equally wet! #birds #bird #birdspotting #photography #wildlife #scotland #wildlifephotography #aberdeenshire

A #greatwhiteegret lauching out of the marshes at Loch of Stratchbeg. #birds #bird #birdspotting #wildlife #scotland #nature #wildlifephotography #pictureoftheday

Another fine day exploring the wilds of #fife Not too common round here, I spotted a very timid #jay. #birdspotting #bird #photography #twitching

Rare find of my recent wander around #scotland. A Slavonian #Grebe. With creepy laser eyes! #bird #birspotting #photography #nature

Another shot from my trip. #photography #bird #scotland

A successful camping trip into the wilds of Scotland complete! #birds #photography #wildlife

I mean I like the content in Rick Beato's videos, I just find the guy to be overly smug and narcisitic. The channel used to be about music. Now it feels like the videos are about him than the celebrities. And don't get me started on the beato book! #justmyopinion #britsDontLikeSmugYanks

I've come to the conclusion that all these fancy vinyl colours are just pointless now that everyone is doing it!

I see it. I have lived it. 83 years ago, the U.S. government turned upon a group of its own citizens and residents and sent them to internment camps without due process. I was there among them. American fascism is back. It is here. It is now.

Meet Anthony Schmidt, a 16-year-old with #autism who turns #miniature #cars into life-sized works of #art through his incredible #photography

#nowplaying: My learning journey into #jazz continues with a #recordstoreday purchase of #billevans gurther ahead. A nice double #vinyl and going on the production you would not guess that this was recorded in 64-69. It is crystal clear #vinylsky #whatsonmyturntable Cont.
