Reading a book on American nuclear planning during the Cold War. I wanted to look up Condition Apple Jack, where a full-on Civil Defence drill was held in Manhattan in 1955. This is what I got. You know what? Fuck it. Bring on the bomb. We deserve it by this point.

1990 - Martin Donnelly’s short but promising career came to a devastating end #OnThisDay 28 September, when he crashed his Lotus during practice for the 1990 Spanish Grand Prix. #F1 #formula1

America. Wobble your fucking heads. Absolute state of your team and spectators. #RyderCup

Bold of team USA to wear white trousers today considering how regularly and violently they've shat themselves #rydercup

If you see it, you can be it. Go girls! #rwc2025

Fair play England. Few countries embrace women's sport like England does. 82,000 people at the final is incredible. They've been the best team in the world and deserve this, but they're there because they've backed their athletes, given them support and funding. Up to everyone else to do the same.

I attended the Women's Rugby World Cup in Ireland in 2017. I watched England play in front of about 500 people. 82,000 witnessed history today. Incredible. #rwc2025

WORLD CHAMPIONS! Canada won everyone's hearts. England won the silverware. Women's sport won everything. #redroses #rwc2025 #ENGCAN #CANvENG

Maybe Mark Carney should have stayed as the Governor of the Bank of England? 😉 It's going to be a tight twenty final minutes. What a tournament. #rwc2025 #ENGCAN #CANvENG

Clumsy by Hannah Botterman. And Canada straight back into it. #rwc2025 #rwcfinal2025 #CANENG #CANvENG

40 minutes from immortality 🌹 #redroses #rwc2025 #rwcfinal2025 #ENGCAN

Can we just recognise how wonderful it is to see women's sport on the world stage? It feels like a Rugby World Cup Final day. These women have earned their place in the spotlight. Whatever happens in the next few hours, the #redroses have been amazing. One. More. Time. 🌹 #rwc2025 #ENGCAN

Feeling mentally rubbish today. Difficult week. Rugby shirt on for the #redroses later. Hopefully that cheers me up.

Horrible day. Bed, hot water bottle, hot chocolate, book about nuclear war. Rugby tomorrow.

Gang warfare in modern Britain is getting out of hand. #wildlife #nature

A truly excellent article on AI and some of its associated backlash. I make my living in the industry, yet agree with much of what @edzitron.com says. Read it (and I recommend you follow his writing or listen to Better Offline, too).

Share your favourite black and white film. (I cheated by having two.) #moviesky #filmsky

These Police cuts are getting a bit much.

Occasionally, I think the death penalty is inhumane, but then someone takes a call in a public place using their phone loudspeaker.

Happy #Threads Day, folks! 😱

Biiiiiiiiig stretch. My back aches just looking at her doing that. #catsofbluesky #catsky

This is the original introduction before that night’s broadcast: “What would happen if Britain came under a nuclear attack? How would ordinary people survive …? Some of the scenes which follow may distress you. ‘Threads’ was made in and with the cooperation of the people of Sheffield.”

Tonight in 1984, the grimly realistic and harrowing nuclear war drama “Threads” was first broadcast on BBC Two. The film aired for the first time in the United States on January 13, 1985, on WTBS, thanks to station owner and disarmament advocate Ted Turner. “Threads” streams for free on Kanopy.

CALLED IT. How these fuckers are allowed to have two teams is beyond me. I do not understand how anyone could support these scumbags. Team with history of cheating brings the shithousery once again. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

lol. lmao even. #carsky #autosky

I mean, I don't want to brag, but...

Everything about that race has been abysmal. - the racing - the camera work - the tv direction - the result #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

I like Bernie Collins, but what the fuck is she talking about? Great defence by Lawson? Yuki hasn't made a single attempt to overtake. Lawson hasn't had to defend a thing. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

COME ON YUKI YOU COWARD #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

I mean, fair play to Max, running away with it despite having easily the 9th worst car on the grid. What a genius. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

Chrissakes. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

230mph, centimetres apart from each other. Here we go... #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

I will never buy another Audi, purely on the principle of that FUCKING HATEFUL 'I Like To Move It' ad. Get in the sea and take your creative agency with you. #Audi

Azerbaijani anthem? Choon. #azerbaijanGP #F1

"I am stupid, I am stupid." #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

"Honestly, the sun is annoying. Really in our vision." "What do you want your race engineer to do? Turn the sun off?" #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

I hear a thing happens. #F1 #AzerbaijanGP

WORLD CUP FINALISTS! ❤️🌹 We are living in golden age of women's sport. CANADA, THE #REDROSES ARE COMING FOR YOU... #RWC2025 #FRAENG

"You've let me down, you've let the squadron down... and worst of of all you've let yourself down."

Who is going to tell God that his gift to Rugby Union didn't get the memo? 🙄 Outstanding. GO CANADA! 🇨🇦🍁 #rwc2025 #nzlcan

Tonight, we're all Canadian. #rwc2025 #NZLCAN

CHRISTMAS MENUS ARE ALMOST HERE!

SHOOT. THOSE FUCKERS. DOWN. #russia www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

lol. lmao even. www.the-race.com/formula-1/wh... #F1

The future we could have had, but didn't deserve. #carsky #autosky

No, this tells us we shouldn't pander to fucking morons with no critical thinking, and stop spoonfeeding imbeciles. #F1

Cat has apparently found herself a massage table/bed. #catsofbluesky #catsky
