THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated. According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

Hagiographic the film might be, but Thomas More’s speech about giving the Devil the benefit of the law in “A Man For All Seasons” continues to feel relevant. m.youtube.com/watch?v=PDBi...

Chilly in the South Wales Valleys this morning. Proper shorts and DryRobe weather.

Reminder: If it's snowing where you are, post with the hashtag #uksnow, the first-half of your postcode and a snow-rating out of 10 (x/10) and help draw a real-time map of where it's snowing right now on uksnowmap.com ❄️

Starting off 2026 with peak “how’s yer da handling the divorce?” energy from the letters page of the Daily Mail

Please god let me never find myself in an escape room with a Hugo. #thetraitors

Lovely piece on the hatefulness of all this. Worth it for many little highlights, but I enjoyed the riff on a calculator that aggressively suggests sums you might want to do today.

Another day, another confirmation that I was right to get the hell away from the enshittified Twitter.

For pity‘s sake Hugo, just call her Claudia. #TheTraitors

For pity’s sake get your news from a reliable source.

Five Go on a Bus Replacement Service

Watching The Sound of Music is getting more uncomfortable by the year. Everyone knows the flag-tearing moment. Less dramatic but just as troubling…

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps: - It’s ‘voilà,’ not ‘wallah!’ - It’s ‘a lot,’ not ‘alot.’ - It’s ‘further ado,’ not ‘farther adieu.’ - It’s ‘flesh out,’ not ‘flush out.’ - It’s ‘sneak peek,’ not ‘sneak peak.’ No worries if not!!!

1 January 1926 | A Polish Jew, Leon Weintraub, was born in Łódź. In #Auschwitz from August 1944. He was transferred to Groß-Rosen, Flossenbürg & Natzweiler-Struthof. He was liberated on 23 April 1945 near Donaueschingen. He became a doctor. Today he turns 100. Happy birthday!

Born in 2003, I have no memories of the miners' strike - or of mining in Wales at all. The ‘Streic!’ exhibit, however, connected with me in a way I did not expect ✍️ Ella Groves

Ah, New Year’s Day! That can only mean one thing. YES, THAT’S RIGHT! The 148th anniversary of New York Herald proprietor James Gordon Bennett Jr being banished from polite society for pissing in his fiancée’s fireplace, thus giving the world the phrase ‘Gordon Bennett!’ 🧵

I did this. With actual scissors.

I see England’s having a big fireworks show.

Wishing you a Happy New Year now, as I’ll be busy in the Millennium Operations Centre later. Ever watchful in case the bug tries again.

It is a little known fact that they prerecord the Jools Holland Hootenanny - all the people on screen are faking it being New Year for tv. For eg, last year’s was prerecorded June 15th, 1535, during the Siege of Munster, look carefully and you can see John of Leiden mingling with the audience.

I’ve spent this morning morbidly watching the MTV channels close down and the final songs played were: MTV Music - Video Killed the Radio Star (Buggles) Club MTV - Don’t Stop the Music (Rihanna) MTV 90s - Goodbye (Spice Girls) MTV 80s - Together in Electric Dreams (Oakey and Moroder)

Happy New Year’s Eve! Hootenanny!

A free ride home tonight if you're in Bristol, Cardiff or Newport (and it's 1986)

NYE and en route to the Diff so a good time as any to listen again to this three-part series looking back at Red Dragon Radio (with a bit of the backstory behind ILR’s early years in south east Wales, too) Produced by @theliveluke.bsky.social with contributions from me. www.buzzsprout.com/2544630

Wow

It's a landmark day in Welsh broadcasting history*. (*At least according to Youngest Child, who couldn't wait to tell me about it when I got home from work.)

I've waited 3 years to make this post

Public transit may not be flashy and exciting but it is essential and it does what it is supposed to do. MOVING PEOPLE AROUND EFFICIENTLY. Stop getting razzle-dazzled by tech bros, self driving cars in a tunnel will never be able to do with a freaking SUBWAY has and will always be able to do.

Nope. Absolutely no idea.

how all youtube ads sound to me

I was planning to prune my cherry tree tomorrow, so thanks for the timely advice, @mothinali.bsky.social! I’ll wait.

And! I’ve been looking all over for this and finally found it

Oh this is very good.

A service which provides round the clock support for more than 4,000 elderly and vulnerable people in the Valleys has ‘changed the lives’ of one family

The Quaker response would be "Christianity is not a notion but a way." If you've truly discovered the Light of Christ within you, then this Light will shine out from your transformed heart, a heart for the stranger in need. Sadly the evidence suggests he's found something else.

Crime has collapsed since the 1990s. We are living in a happier world. But because mainstream politicians and journalists don't tell the truth, the liars run riot. Piece from me about how Trump and Farage exploit bogus fears of a migrant-driven crime wave comment.press/crime1228

For those still looking for some Christmas cheer, this charming classical concert is conducted by my fine friend @gavinsutherland.bsky.social, who is far too modest to shout about being on the BBC: www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Has Biggins learned nothing about Capital Punishment?

The whole podcast/vodcast/forty minutes too long/why is the second guest off-mic/do they think I care about this banter/levels all over the place phase of content creation will eventually work itself out. At the moment there’s just a bit too much ‘all the gear, no idea’.

Such fun. I’ve made one of my old recurring nightmares.

I’ve made this just in time to call Noel Edmonds at the top of the British Telecom Tower.
