Hegseth is now the Secretary of War, which is fitting I guess as RFK jr is basically the Secretary of Pestilence. We just need Famine and Death to round it out.

Wishing you well, creative friends . I start a degree on Monday! @galeannehurd.bsky.social @stevenedesouza.bsky.social @sasbell.bsky.social @stevencmiller.bsky.social @somearedead.bsky.social @pompeyrod.bsky.social @nickdesemlyen.bsky.social @edsolomon.bsky.social @jfusco.bsky.social

Can we skip To the end Where they all End up being prosecuted In prison Or on the run

@toa5tnz.bsky.social yo man. Still all good down there in a paradise?

Quite remarkable www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

Pretty good write up mashable.com/article/blue...

Found out last week that an old family friend, via my brother, is now divorced. He worked so very very hard to set up a home, trained, qualified etc. now he has a decent wage and was just settling it’s all in tatters. Amicable and unavoidable

Sense of taste and smell still to return. Still, on the plus side, it means I’m not tasting the blood which appears to be continuously streaming from my nasal cavities down my throat. Happy Sunday everyone lol

What’s the betting, Trump allows TikTok to resume, as long as it reflects his political insanity?

@toa5tnz.bsky.social is that you? My antipodean, beer obsessed brother from another mother? Been a long long time

Interesting feedback on ChatGPT last night. It can be used to mark subjects like History and Geography previous papers. Tell it the board, paper and questions and it uses the marking scheme. Checked by teachers, on average add a mark and it’s right. Good to know

My hero

I hope all of this is being documented in a way that whatever aliens find our dead planet can use.

Among the drams listed on this astronomical Fife Arms bar bill were fifteen 25 ml glasses of Balvenie 50-year-old at £4,500 each (total cost £67,500) and ten 25 ml glasses of 1940s Laphroaig at £4,000 each (total cost £40,000). Without these extravagances, the bill would have been £107,500 lower. 🥃🤯

Shrinking is so beautifully written. How many folk does it take to get such a perfect balance?

Good morning sanity

Just about survived Christmas. Just about

Happy Wednesday

Given the state of American education you can only assume this is the final push to divide the country into a drone work force and everyone else

Friday shoutout @stevencmiller.bsky.social @stevenedesouza.bsky.social @sasbell.bsky.social @stelpavlou.bsky.social @somearedead.bsky.social @danielkeeble.bsky.social @devonsawa.bsky.social @iamseanmaguire.bsky.social @christopher-marc.bsky.social have a good weekend my friends

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired. History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them. Signed, a physicist

I find mushrooms scary en masse.

Off for blood tests. Don’t get old folks!!

4th December 2024. The 4th of 24 Die Hard related posts. Fox were unsure on how to market the film, believing funny TV show Bruce wouldn’t sell an action movie. Two weeks after a massive successful opening, Fox decided to put Bruce Willis’ face back on the poster. #diehard

@maxkinnings.bsky.social how you doing Max? Busy?

Having to tell my youngest to avoid the news, to not worry about the way the world is, goes against everything I believe in. I have to, he’s an emotional soul and in the midst of GCSEs. He needs hope, a future.

If you’re making a film with a female assassin, pleeaase if she’s going to be doing martial arts against a 6’2” guy who’s a wall of muscle at least find something to give her an edge

Mr Monk can’t die

It's not just the best film version, it's better than the original text because Scrooge ends up sitting down with Bob and not his awful relatives. Dickens must be kicking himself for getting it so wrong, and not including singing fruit.

You can’t tell me Tescos can’t afford the NI and minimum wage changes. Pay 1% less dividend maybe

Begs the question - why wasn’t Britain working before when they hived off all the profit and didn’t invest in their businesses.

💥 58% of those questioned say trade with Europe ‘is the most important market’. 💥 51% see the EU as their preferred alignment for foreign policy. 💥 56% see the EU as ‘better for the UK economically’ than the US. 💥 Only 27% say the US should be treated as the prominent partner. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧 🇪🇺

I love the film Oblivion. That’s the post

I’m so over it, I forgot to announce I gave up the happy juice two years ago (on the 22nd of October). Not sure it’s done as much for my health as I hoped.

Some concept stuff for an exciting, gritty cop show of mine being eyed up by a couple of networks and talent at the mo.

All the misinformation, rumour and hatred being promoted by certain political bodies brings to mind the dark ages where people were executed for stealing a loaf and women who made a fuss burned as witches. I give it a year before a woman is burnt as a witch in the South of the US

I’m still here

I’d forgotten in the first series of Star Trek Discovery, Elon Musk is mentioned in the same breath as truly great figures in History, not sure that’ll feature in the remastered blu-rays in 15 years time

Actually it was the selling of council houses and rampant profiteering by the financial industry that really weaponised the decline

Becoming clearer every day. I suspect even more that as a professional lawyer he’d existed in his legal bunker for 3 decades but only emerged as he reflected on a diverging career around the age of 50. His limitations are seeming immense.

Terrifying. Stuff on nightmares. Peppers are unsettling vegetables at the best of times

I int expect to ever gain my Twitter following over here. I was on Twitter so long most of my followers are probably dead over there

Couple of scary slippery moments this morning. People driving like snails but then pulling out not thinking about stopping or slowing distances of those in the road they’re entering. Snow mode on the Honda not great so far
