@benlymurph.bsky.social Good luck with the football tonight, Benjy: #UpTheBlueSweeties

The next time you’re tempted to beat yourself up over a silly mistake at work, think of the poor guy who pulled a real-life “Sorry, I’m sorry, I’m trying to remove it” after publicly hearting a photo of Jeffrey Epstein.

@benlymurph.bsky.social I'm not doing age verification here just to indulge your childish football banter via dm. Shoo. Begone.

Incredible scenes on BBC Look North.

No single US news source is consumed by more than 25% of Americans, whereas 60% of Brits regularly watch/read/listen to the BBC. A single shared source of truth makes it harder for partisan echo chambers to form, or for divisive narratives to dominate. It’s good for social cohesion and compromise.

Szobos future Captain eh? #LFC

Happy National Pumpkin Day from my family to yours

20p in the slot. I ended up putting 40p in. I had to. #Wombles. #Arcademachines

The thing about indiscriminately promoting violence and hate is that you cannot always direct where these vile sentiments ultimately go or who is influenced. HATE is dark and ugly and should be roundly condemned, always. Even those who promote it can fall victim to what they forment.

This is a masterclass in narrative tension

It's weird that being in a ball pool is a pleasant physical sensation we've all enjoyed, and it's a thing we've invented and manufacture at scale, but there's an age after which you're not allowed to do it ever again

🧵 (1/3): I’m not quite sure how to say this, bear with me… I’m doing the Rumble in the Jumble challenge on 11 Oct in Hull. 6-hours of running (or something hopefully resembling it). #running #runtheworld #runnersofbluesky #runsky #ukrunchat #motivation #training #runchat #training

Love how it’s maps’ fault.

Every reputable expert I know considers mRNA vaccine technology to be one of the most revolutionary advances in medicine in our lifetimes. Its inventors won the Nobel Prize in 2023. Shutting it down now is pointless self-harm to humanity.

I think I'd probably find the whole notion of banning kids from social media easier to swallow if adults accepted that it is also obviously driving them mad.

@benlymurph.bsky.social What do you reckon to the stock image used here, Ben?

@benlymurph.bsky.social I don't support or agree with many of this referee's decisions, I just can't! Isn't that funny.

@benlymurph.bsky.social Everton are doing sterling work lately for the good folk of Merseyside. Well done, all.

@handalula.bsky.social Do you like spooky books? The Apparition Phase is just superb, can't remember if I have recommended it before

TREAT YOURSELF A ROUND OF SAUSAGE

@benlymurph.bsky.social Are we able to start talking about football, or am I perhaps misjudging the mood?

@benlymurph.bsky.social Hurry up, I'm waiting to wave at you and getting very, very hungry.

@benlymurph.bsky.social @handalula.bsky.social Hello, Murphies
