And for the people fleeing wannabe space wanker and his racist hordes there is also this starter pack for women in history …

So... I've created a starter pack of UK government organisations currently on Bluesky: go.bsky.app/JHsY1Wz (Currently includes all those listed under ministerial and non-ministerial departments here www.gov.uk/government/o... - let me know any I've missed, or got wrong)

“Germany will propose setting up a joint NATO mission to protect the Arctic region, the Bloomberg report added, citing people familiar with the plans.”

Ah, that's lovely. #COYS

It's been, what, almost 18 months with Badenoch as leader of the Conservatives - and we still don't really know what she stands for, apart from taking the piss out of Rachel Reeves...

Want to watch an exciting, progressive Tottenham team? Well, Spurs Women take on Leicester City at 1200 as the WSL returns from the winter break. #COYS

You know what to do to make things magic again, Tottenham...

Although, the following summer we did hire a certain Mauricio Pochettino... #BringHimHome #COYS

Pawson didn't blow for that tackle until he saw Rogers rolling around waving. Bought the reaction. Absolutely awful officiating.

I like Shearer but him saying Tottenham's forward line of Tel, Odobert, Simons and Kolo Muani is more than 200 million pounds in transfer fees is bollocks. Tel - 30m Odobert - 25m Simons - 51m Kolo Muani - loan

The Norwegian Nobel Prize committee has been forced to make a statement, declaring that the prize cannot be transferred. It's hard even to comprehend how stupid this has become

Oh, goody, the Wrexham "fairytale" continues... 🤮🤮🤮

Blimey, I didn't know that a) Georges-Kevin Nkoudou was still playing and b) that he's somehow only 30. Seems like aeons ago he was at Spurs...

Articulated, as ever, with great eloquence and pinpoint clarity from @spursblogger.bsky.social. 'Frosty wind made moan(s)...' #COYS

Liam Rosenior said he was ready to embrace the pressure of managing Chelsea and unlock what he called the club's "limitless" potential as he prepares for his first game in charge of the West London side on Saturday. www.reuters.com/sports/socce...

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola said the club have had their eye on Antoine Semenyo for years after they signed the Ghana winger from Bournemouth on Friday. www.reuters.com/sports/socce...

Had almost forgotten just how good Das Rheingold is. I know was last on in 2023 at the Royal Opera but surely is time for an updated version soon...

Almost shaking with rage after seeing, once again, the faux outrage and sanctimony from JD Vance, all the while excusing a murder that is clear to see. He really is one of the most craven, despicable, cowardly and pathetic pieces of shit to ever hold office in Washington.

Thought it would be a day without some disappointing Spurs news, but just seen the confirmation of Ash Neville's transfer to Leicester City women. *sigh* Another club legend gone... #COYS

We're back! The Average Joes will be playing @ The Fiddler's Elbow in Camden on Saturday January 24 as part of the Blues Rock Bash II. Doors open at 7.45pm. COME ON DOWN! www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/the-blues-...

And also block a site that is creating illegal imagery...

Forensic analysis of objective video evidence. This is how you serve readers searching for clarity.

I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

That was an unfortunate loss last night as you could see the effort clearly from the players but an already threadbare squad was made weaker by the injuries to Bergvall and Bentancur. This is again 100% on the owners.

Yep. Was always going to happen.

These things don't go for you when you're playing badly. Just a shame it's been going on for months at Tottenham...

Estoy cansado, muy muy cansado... #COYS

I really do believe there is so much more to come from Tel. Glad he's getting more confidence, no matter how they go in. #COYS

Tottenham playing again, eh. Whoopee. #COYS

Most of the London-crime chat is just code for racism. They don't really mean that an area is dangerous. They mean that it contains black people/Muslims and want to insinuate that this entails danger.

No time in 2026 for people talking down London. Of course it has issues, like any city, but still get a thrill whenever on the train in and see the Thames stretch out in the distance. Lots to do, great food, historic pubs, views - and most of all, it is cleaner, safer & greener than for many years.

I know @fionasturges.bsky.social wrote about this recently, but aside from having 0 interest in "watching" a podcast, recent converts in my regular rotation have sacrificed a lot of audio quality to do so. Now I can hear levels peaking, extraneous noise, etc. I'm not sure why but it's very annoying.

Eurooppa toistaa virheen, jonka se teki Venäjän kanssa. Yhdysvalloissa pitää valtaa hallinto, joka vähät välittää sopimuksista tai kansainvälisestä oikeudesta. Periaatteisiin vetoamisen sijaan on etsittävä varteenotettavia pelotteita. X:n, Metan ja Googlen sulkeminen Euroopan markkinoilta?

The White House said on Tuesday that President Donald Trump is discussing options for acquiring Greenland, including potential use of the U.S. military, in a revival of his ambition to control the strategic island despite European objections. www.reuters.com/world/trump-...

Hello to influx of new people on Bluesky. This place is already a lot of fun and the more friendly engagement, the better.

Well, didn't lose... #COYS

Ah, what a sight... 💙 #COYS

En route to White Hart Lane. Beautiful day for some thrilling, end-to-end football... #COYS

Littler is the real deal, isn't he? Incredible. #Darts

Interesting (not really) that Badenoch, as per, starts a post about an issue lashing out at *some* people, probably on her timeline she's just read. 'Right, firstly, fuck you...'
