Someone was removed from the train this morning due to me having a bike reservation and them not, this both felt like how the system should work and also felt like a massive injustice #uk #train

Very unfortunate on that pen call. I am arguably more annoyed about the Joelinton lack of yellow though #NEWARS #afc #uta

Another saddle bag stolen, sad times #bristol #templemeads

I am falling in love... with Justin Rose #TheRyderCup

Twickenham... Good stadium, extremely difficult to get away from

Green Man tickets acquired - 100% record with festival tickets continues

Digital train rail cards should link all your journeys so that you can see your savings easily. Best idea I have had in ages #uk #train (partridge voice)

Crinkle Cuts really great at Old Market Assembly yesterday. Enjoyed the brass as usual and top front man #bristol #music

Just don't quite connect with the negativity around Arsenal post the City game. Not our best but squad did well to come back from 0-1 to a good City side. Hope for better but not a performance which is a huge talking point imho #ARSMCI #afc

I hope @ottoenglish.bsky.social will forgive me for screenshotting his short thread. It is just perfect, so much so that I thought it should hit it one single blow, with no scrolling involved.

La Famiglia in Grange Park was great, very tasty pizza and nice salad. All freshly done. Owner was great too, me and my mum had a lovely chat with him about how the business side was going 👌🏻 #london #pizza #food #italian #enfield

Zuckerberg did one thing clever in his life, making a perving site he then pivoted into a site for your auntie to be racist on. Everything else has failed or he bought. He's not even proper evil, just an absolute dork with too much power.

Vox pops are the lowest form of journalism because they allow news organisations to editorialise through selective interviews without even the spurious science of polling data. This is leading the website of the BBC which must think it’s the most important news happening today.

All streaming platforms should have skip 30s forward and back, 10s is useless and not having anything is an absolute shambles

It's hard watching these clips not to feel just utter revulsion at well, er, capitalism. But the thing is, what this actually shows is the *weakness* of "capital". In authoritarian countries this is what business is always like. Totally obsequious to power, because the King can destroy you

Haven't had a cooked breakfast that size in years - haven't really missed those portion sizes tbh #bristol #lounge

Lol

Iconic moment at the Downton Abbey premiere

Er… I’m not sure the BBC is what it used to be 🫤

Also made it mandatory for cars to be fitted with seatbelts although wasn’t able to push through mandatory wearing of them.

Barbara Castle championing the introduction of the breathalyser and making the national speed limit permanent. Untold numbers still alive.

Sort of dizzying to think about how many people are alive today because Patricia Hewitt (ban on smoking in enclosed spaces) was health secretary and because Norman Fowler (mandatory seatbelts) was transport secretary and health secretary (HIV/Aids).

Going to largely miss out the pods this week as don't want to listen to the "Liverpool came out as the great entertainers" whereas "Arsenal stifled the game" discourse #LIVARS #afc #arsenal

I do think someone needs to take Arteta aside and tell him to chill out about Anfield, not that big a deal #afc #LIVARS #arsenal

💯 this #LIVARS #afc #arsenal

James Milner is now the 2nd youngest goal scorer in League history and the 2nd oldest goal scorer in League history. From prodigy to icon.

feel like slim and fat chance should be a different amount of chance

🎶I'm sorry Nick Jackson (woo) There is no deal We called off the Bayern loan-to-buy Fly home to replace the injured guy🎶

Am enjoying Paradise on Disney+ good levels of silliness and a good cast too

This, from the Quakers, is a pretty good example of how to resist pressure from bigot lobbying groups. Effectively “we legally can allow trans people to use the loo, we morally should, and we tried it and nothing bad happened”

Leeds mascots taking pens at 1/2 time at the Emirates is great stuff, big improvement #ARSLEE

Why does the PFA not mandate a strict definition of a release clause? Stop nonsense of Gibbs White, Suarez situation. Get all prem clubs to sign up to that definition and then clubs/players can negotiate whether it's in a given contract.

#Arsenal #Eze 😁

IYKYK

I suppose this is the point when I should say again that: the amount of money the videogames industry brings into the UK economy every year is *more than double* the value of the fishing and steel industries *combined* what this country is really good at is producing culture

Food Freedom course from Sirona in Bristol was potentially life changing. Really amazing course on managing Type 1 Diabetes. Learnt a lot of new stuff and a few major changes to my routine. Great to meet other diabetics and chat through our experiences too #diabetes #uk

Five penalty misses? Maybe they should make the goals bigger or move the spot closer?

This was sensational, even by @secondcaptains.bsky.social standards this was great. Amazing set of events.

Philips is utterly deranged

My level of admin this week has been less than ideal, very much piling stress on myself needlessly

I'm surprised that neither this government nor the last one isn't more explicit that these are the consequences of, you know, the war that we are actively spending money on/asking people to make economic sacrifices for. (I mean, it's all there in the MI5 threat lecture every year!)

Enjoyed this "map" from before Kerry's win #gaa

We have Max Wowman...you know, Max WOWman?

Paris is great, top cycling infrastructure, wide roads. Lovely food

Bluesky don't even handle the age verification directly, it's via the Epic Games verification service. And all that's stored is a hash of your email+verification status, not the card details. I'll still only opt for facial age scan option, but from a security perspective I'm not too concerned.

My non political.opinion is that Chloe Kelly goal shouldn't be allowed

I was explaining to my Ukrainian colleague the phrase ‘There’s no such thing as a free lunch’. She told me the equivalent in Ukrainian is ‘The only free cheese is in the mousetrap’ - which is so much better

I do miss Hector representing the Arsenal
