Our Christmas #jigsaw of #Gibraltar gasworks c.1900 has kept us busy since Boxing Day, and has probably started a family tradition going forward, felt like finishing a marathon as we slotted the final piece in 🧩

This quote is from a @sethgodin.bsky.social email about LLMs, but it strikes me it has a much broader resonance in a fast-changing world: | 'Made up stories that we invent to deal with our fear often make it worse. They distract us from the hard work of understanding what’s actually happening.'

#Uber just sent me this out of the blue, no idea what it's about but seeing as it's from a 'no reply' email address, I'm going to take this opportunity to reply to them here instead... Go f___ yourselves! Thank you for your understanding, Uber.

I love Jonathan Liew's piece in @theguardian.com today about the whole #ManUtd circus - it speaks to me and the man has a cracking turn of phrase. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

You already had coffee. How do you not remember getting coffee?

Diane Abbott: “There must be a difference between racism which is about colour and other types of racism because you can see a Traveller or a Jewish person walking down the street, you don’t know.“ Don't understand why she's not allowed to say this?

WeTransfer are now stealing our words. As a writer, this cannot be allowed to pass. #BoycottWeTransfer.

People think money has ruined football but the sight of a rapist dictator standing next to a corrupt football official in front of a big gold trophy at a competition bankrolled by Saudi Arabia reminds me the game still belongs to us.

No shit #goodtoknow 🤣

Here's a Strava map you won't see every day, a 5k charity race on the Gibraltar runway yesterday - it was amazing fun #gibraltar #running

The sunset this evening across Spain from #Gibraltar, on a potentially momentous evening for the future of “The Rock” as political agreement is reached on a treaty to stabilise border, trade and other arrangements long-term after the 9 years of madness that Brexit imposed on the territory.

#Gibraltar sunset right now ❤️🇬🇮

I make people fat 🤝 I make people thin From the latest Private Eye, out now.

Getting closer to the dream of a sub-3 marathon, not helped today by cruel headwinds for last few miles 😬💨💨🍃🌧️ #running

Love this 🤭

I live in Gibraltar. Spain, the “greenhouse of Europe”, is a stone’s throw away. I just bought some garlic at the supermarket. Noticed it was sprouted, old and just not very good and checked the label only to find it’s come from China. In what world is this even sane?

I love a good song title-based play on words in a headline and this is a good one. Congratulations to @theguardian.com for this one this morning. #massiveattack

Tonight’s sunset over #Gibraltar 🇬🇮❤️

“As Ani DiFranco points out, rock musicians take themselves very seriously but don’t care so much about the rest of the world. Folk singers do the opposite.” - nice point made by Seth Godin today seths.blog/2025/05/seri...

Massive power cut in #Gibraltar looks like whole country is down as of 4.41pm and counting… 🔋🔌

My first DJ outing in years, spinning 7”s on my new portable deck set up, as a rehearsal for DJing at a retro festival, Back To The Classics, in #Gibraltar this summer. Was good to back, you never lose the love! ❤️

The new spinning thumb when you click kudos on iOS #Strava app is a bit OTT! #running #1stworldproblems

Just watched our team Bruno’s Magpies win the #Gibraltar Rock Cup (it’s our FA Cup)… packed stands, lots of singing, 96th minute wonder goal and… what a view!

@tristanmarshall.bsky.social I enjoyed your adjudication of the #Gibraltar festival. It might make you smile with your focus on getting pauses right in dialogue, that I once saw Bob Geldof perform “I Don’t Like Mondays” where he paused for 90 secs at the dramatic “how to die!” towards the end!

Thousands of people are ditching Tesla. Here’s one of them with a message you can see from space. Location: Black Rock Sands, Wales, UK Led By Donkeys is 100% funded by small donations.

Newcastle United's first trophy in 56 years has been celebrated widely in Newcastle and Saudi Arabia, with wide spread reports from both of people on the lash

I realise that the words “old man” and “clouds” may spring to mind, but it annoys me seeing footballers using their arms to tell the crowd to make some noise. It’s not up to them to do that. They should be playing the game well enough to earn appreciation.

‘Trump said that “Denmark’s very far away” from Greenland and questioned whether that country still had a right to claim [it].’ Er yeah Trump old boy, Hawaii ain’t exactly on the US mainland’s doorstep is it now, comprende? 🤦

Nostalgia fest incoming on the hifi this weekend 🎶❤️

What an incredibly unsettling slogan.

Almost unbelievable! #gibraltar www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

I humbly offer up one of my favourite tracks of all time for some Friday pleasure, pure happiness ❤️ youtu.be/FTPO6XM_IxM

Just read an article in the Guardian about the “long black” being the new Americano, when ultimately it’s just espresso and water mixed together. So just like the flat white is a white coffee, the long black is as far as I can see… a black coffee. Am I missing something here? ☕️

Manchester United’s away support is incredible, that was quite something at Craven Cottage tonight, spine-tingling stuff despite the utter tedium on the pitch #GGMU 🇾🇪

‘Sorry, I don’t have time to explain that I didn’t do a Nazi salute - I’m too busy speaking at a German far-right rally’.

Nailed it

Refugees are not a homogeneous group. Refugees are people. Individuals with lives, stories, backgrounds, hopes and aspirations. Like you and I. The only difference between our circumstances, is luck. Never forget it.

🎶 when you go, will you send back a lettuce from America? 🎶

Definitely exciting.

Imagine if diamonds really were your best friend, how sad. Imagine if it really was raining men, how terrible. I think songs are just awful

Donald Tusk is a true friend of Britain. His dream will one day come true.
