Taking this further. It’s depressing to think people would also have to dress in tracksuits, crocs and baseball caps instead of velvet tunics, shiny breast plates and hats with big feathers

If the UK is on the brink of civil war, as Musk claims, it follows that in 300 years time there will be be a new generation of civil war re-enactment societies. "Geoff,you defend Laurence Fox. Can you guys shout outside a hostel. Brian, i need you to relentlessly slag off Nish Kumar on Facebook."

I do have a passion for glassware & also Art Deco and well, I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen anything more beautiful. Opalescent glass Art Deco sculpture by French artist Lucille Sevin (created between the 1920/30s)

At an AI curated wine tasting. Partly because the robot was so cute on the flyer I wanted to be able to post it on social media. Some…interesting choices.. V taking copious notes. Mine consist of “lovely stuff” & “drinkable” which I appeared to have spelt “drinkably”… cheers!

@danmckee.bsky.social this beer mat feels very you

Very excited to pick up a box of these! I will be watching 70’s films tonight!

I’ve been looking at velvet suits again….

The face of someone who tried my Sour beer and it didn’t work out for her. Also seen here in happier times with her stout.

Watching a Wim Wenders documentary which is so BORING it’s actually quite spectacular. Nothing should be this boring. It’s remarkable. I will think about this dreary flaccid celluloid for years. It’s staggeringly beige

The most Bluesky post I’ve ever seen.

Heading into the weekend like…

Stunned onlookers were overheard asking “Did we die? Is this Hell?"

Fascinating article.

I didn’t think it was possible to eat this much cake. I would do this all again though. God I love afternoon tea.

Does anyone else listen to Nick Drake and think it’s the most beautiful music ever made, but at the same time it’s just profoundly sad? I don’t think I will ever fully escape my sorrow. No matter what glory’s await me.

For the early part of the evening's these last few days, I've continued to forage into JFK's assassination in podcast form - thoroughly fascinating it was too. A thank you to @rallen78.bsky.social for bringing this to my attention. open.spotify.com/playlist/0Yd...

Anyone shared this yet?

Loving the spirit of Halloween in Crystal Palace. “How can we make our ghost scarier?” … hmmm write the word ‘boo’ on it?

Imagine NOT being a boomer and following Tom Waits

Just unfollowed someone for being a Tom Waits fan. Confused as to why I followed them to start with. We don’t help ourselves do we?

Just read this masterpiece. Wow. Not a book I thought would be my cup of tea and a book usually I would avoid but Backlisted podcast did an episode on it so thought I would check it out. And. Wow. Highly recommend it @backlisted.bsky.social

I remain deeply fascinated but this photo. Possibly the best ever taken. So many questions …

Popped into the bruising museum the other week to look at this marvel

Went to Rochester yesterday to sight see but apart from the cathedral we just accident went on a pub crawl and got blotto. So now we have to go again as we didn’t really see it. Oh and bought a fossil from 220,000,000 years ago. Which is insane.

It’s really weird when you block someone and then a few days later they block you back. I mean… what’s the point.

@paulframe85.bsky.social a supporter of Essex CCC has randomly blocked me. I haven’t even said anything bad about Graham Napier medium paced bowling

I’m going to make my first ever playlist on Spotify. Can’t believe I’ve not done one before. I’m so old and out of touch

I’m a big fan of the artist Leonora Carrington. I didn’t realise in 1955 designed her own 22 deck of tarot cards (I’m also very into the Tarot. This is the - La Empress (III) card. Beautiful.

Currently obsessed with this

"Lol no don't worry!! X"

Oh god, just seen a bio saying “assigned fabulous at birth” been a while since I saw one of those in the wild. It’s possibly worse than “cockwomble” or “pisspuffin” I suspect they follow Otto English. This comet can’t hit us soon enough.

Not sure why I sort of identity with this….

Due to complicated reasons I don’t need to go into, I’ve just bought some vintage Pastis glassware… #pastis #glass

Just got a silver ‘lucky’ sixpence pocket watch chain for my 1920’s suit. Can anyone direct me to the nearest speakeasy?

My god the beauty of it! Cant remember the last time I had one of these in the wild but it must have been the 90’s

My pocket watch chain came this morning for my vintage suit so my 1920’s look is nearly complete!

Great moments in redaction history.

Nigel Mansell opened a door for me once in Snowdonia

Can’t work out which film to watch tonight and I’m rapidly running out of time to choose something before it gets too late to put it on. This happens every time I decide to watch a film.

I didn’t realise how posh Kiera Knightly was due to her being a West Ham supporter.

Had to unfollow the ‘What a Fucking Record’ account - unbelievably lame taste - The Lighthouse family - really? And .. David Grey? 🤣 oh dear. They should rename it Heart FM

So I found out they have made a sculpture of me in gold.

Got so much reading to do, so naturally I’ve been trying on my suits to see how dapper I can be. Bugger.

Not sure what’s happened with Twitter. We all know the promotion of right wing algorithms etc but for the last week all I’ve seen is pro Trans stuff and pro Green Party stuff. Hardly any right wing stuff. Has something changed? It’s weird to see how different the feed is.

Well I’m not ready for a working week. How about you?

So I built this ancient library ‘Book Nook’ from scratch with my mother. It’s beautiful, highly detailed and slits right into a book case. It’s very atmospheric in the evening with the tiny lamps on. What do you think?

Saying “megalolz” to as many people I know before they find out the news
