Deleting at the end of the day No current plans to migrate to another platform I will be posting videos on YouTube for the forseeable future I might do something with coprofish.com someday

Normal people bring their knitting projects to the waiting room. I am not not normal

The trial, day one.

My contribution to this evening’s L-themed raffle at Locally Sourced Comedy’s regular Tuesday new material night. Last one of the year! Starts at 7.30 (pm) at Little Drop of Poison in Exeter.

I can’t think of many rural terms I like more than “witches’ knickers” - to describe old black bin bags caught in fences, hedgerows and trees.

We can protect people on bikes, we just have to want to.

Just nuts. The issue is not bikes, nor their popularity amongst youth (who could otherwise be riding light petrol-powered mopeds!) If some people are illegally modifying bikes or riding badly, it's enforcement that's needed. Operation Snap works, BTW. ebiketips.road.cc/content/news...

I feel like I always stick out at birthday parties

I'm back on my hummingbird bs 😆 (am I ever not?). Meet my sweetie Mark. Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #movement any bird showing movement of any description. The alternative is #lookingup any bird looking up. f/16 @12800 1/3200. Exposure bias +1 #birds 🪶 #photography #nature

Awesome rail map of the Netherlands.

Considering it weakened the EU and the UK economy, as well as the threat from Russia and Trump's unreliability, it's time for us to reverse Brexit. BBC News - New US security strategy aligns with Russia's vision, Moscow says www.bbc.com/news/article...

The US has stated that it may partially withdraw from NATO by 2027 if Europe does not take over the majority of NATO's defense, including reconnaissance and operations. NATO Article 5 has only been invoked once, namely to protect the US.

If you’re cold, they’re cold. Bring them inside.

Well this is really annoying. Been a zip car (and streetcar) user for 15 yrs or more. I don't own a car, and zipcar fills the occasional need. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

We need this in Edinburgh!

Reminder both of the great limits of our knowledge and importance of #PrecautionaryPrinciple "Powerful bacterial endotoxin called lipopolysaccharide can independently trigger brain damage" #OneHealth #PublicHealth phys.org/news/2025-12...

Really interesting bit of research. Those who know me and have heard me, if not ranting, venting, on the subject, know that I've always been unconvinced by the oral prion transmission theory. There's a lot wrong with it, and this points to what I think is a very likely possible cause.

Having a bake sale for the shitty drivers in my neighborhood. Thanks for the tip “Danny”

This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

Bus and bike lanes discriminate against families for whom public transportation is not an option.

Do you go on group bike rides? How big? How do yours run? What makes them successful? What has scared you? I've been working on a post for a long time but I decided to just go ahead and hit publish. 🚲❤️😅 Keeping the ride safe: Lessons from Seattle group bike rides: blog.jcole.us/2025/11/30/k...

But what if North Korea hacks our infrastructure it'll bring everything to a grinding halt!!

Booked my first night in my campervan for next weekend. Just a trial run of sorts. One night at a small site with decent facilities. Just rock up, go for a bike ride, back to the van, shower then tea, go for a walk next morning maybe, then off. Looking in the area, I may walk round willy lake.

The engineering feats of the Victorians really were incredible when you compare how quickly the railways sprouted up in the 1800s to how long it's taken us to build one line between London and fucking Birmingham.

Australia just recorded zero cervical cancer cases in women under 25 for the first time since records began in 1982. The amazing result of HPV vaccination.

Watch carefully and you can see right through her eyes into the headrest. #WorldBollardAssociation

Apparently it's ok to drive while unfit in Ireland. road.cc/content/news...

There should be book clubs for babies. "I enjoyed the crinkliness of this one but I have to say the little mirror at the end was a bit predictable."

This is an absurd situation: my driving licence must be renewed every 10 years, but there's absolutely no requirement to prove that I'm still competent to drive a potentially lethal piece of machinery.

It’s actually rumored to be about things like ABS, Kids left in cars, and other pretty obviously good things. He’s in charge of a group that is investigating how to lower the cost of cars. I got a bike I can show him

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Neither the weaponry nor skills to down a single one of ten drones!

Very good thread highlighting the political/Christian theft and perversion of social norms. To be read in your underpants.

My favourite thing about today is the amount of posts I've seen using my image of Pope Leo with overly large shoulder pads - which I specifically made to accompany my reference to him singing Talking Heads' "Once in a Lifetime" - as if it's the original photo.

Little lad in Aldi just now, must have been 9/10 given it the 'oh dear dear dear' every time an Asian woman went past, much to the approval of his chortling mum. Hadn't heard that in years. Proof positive that racists aren't born they're made, usually by thick as pig shit 'adults'.

That doesn't sound very democratic.

Motonormativity www.msn.com/en-gb/news/w... About as bad as it gets. People driving into deers resulting in their own deaths is framed as 'deers killing people'. @ianwalker.bsky.social

Your dog is frightened of fireworks? I don't know why. The fireworks are only being friendly.

"Outta the way of my couch!"

This is very impressive. It takes me weeks to grow anything even resembling a beard, let alone one bushy enough to fashion into a dog's head.

As is always the case when someone from one of my top ten teenage bands dies, I check on the members of my number 1. I can confirm, Jim Bob and Fruitbat are going strong.
