I'm a vicar in a small rural village. I could never say this to my flock because of the outcry, but Reform are blatantly opposed to genuine Christian values and it's clear that anyone considering voting for them has not been listening to a single word I say each week

I once had a temp have a similar "personal item" delivered to the office after she'd finished working for us. Due to the nature of her role the package was assumed to be work supplies. Fair play, though: she returned to claim her parcel!

Absolutely brilliant match at @lc-lionesses.bsky.social today, with the cherry on top of a 4-2 win being Linari and Goodwin signing balls for the kids... Issy picked my youngest, at her first match, out in the crowd for hers and made a point of coming over. Once a Blade, always a Blade!

Finally got a fess published! @datakilljoy.bsky.social

On my dog walk I often chat with right wingers. I pretend I am an ex-Reform voter put off by the utter fuck up of our county council. Then they see me as one of their own, don't get defensive and shouty, and start to question their own opinion of Reform. Honey, not vinegar.

This is incredible! @lewisgoodall.com surely the finest journalist of his generation and here is further proof. The secret court that silenced The News Agents...until now www.audible.co.uk/pd/B0FGK17S7...

I read a job application tonight that stated, "I hereby declare that I have read and understood the job description in full". It's a shame I'm not recruiting for a Town Crier, really.

Going to school in Bexleyheath in the mid-late 90s, and being a geek, wasn't fun. But being there today, the bar that was popular with all the Trendies is now a geek shop! Feels like we won, just like Jarvis Cocker said we would.

Both parts of Leading with Ed Miliband are fascinating, but his passion for the climate agenda shines through in this. A perfect antidote to populists' cynical negativity. So good I had to stop and eat by breakfast by the lake in St. James' Park to keep listening. #NetZero

Who would be a Sheffield United fan, eh? Officially bad for your health, giving me an abnormal heart rate alert! #BSkyBlades

Congratulations to Crystal Palace. A phenomenal performance and result. And most of all, well done to the legend that is Dean Henderson! DEANO! DEANO! DEANO! #FACup #CrystalPalace

Very excited to be taking my son to Wembley for the first time next weekend... Hopefully he'll be a lucky charm and see the Blades win their for the first time in 100 years! And what a view! #BSkyBlades #Playoffs

I've seen enough. Just give it to Ireland #Eurovision #LaikaParty

This evening's episode of @newsagents.bsky.social is one of their best. Emily Maitlis does a superb job of challenging Rupert Lowe on some of the vile things he's said, against a backdrop of rambling anger from her interviewee. And to finish with Andrew Norfolk's own words was a beautiful touch.

Que sera sera, whatever will be will be, we're going to Wembley! #BSkyBlades

Minor heart attack earlier when I saw a car identical to mine, with a registration one letter different (a J instead of an L), and thought someone had stolen it!

There are many great things about @octopus.energy , but my new favourite is discovering all the energy usage data you get with your bill. Very cool.

It was a pleasure to join the guys from Mackie Myers on their Topline Talks podcast. Find it here 👇 youtu.be/bbK3yIdO4bc?...

I know I'm a bit late to the party, but we'll done Canada! And well done to our old friend Mark Carney for showing how to stand up to Trump.

My 3 year old just asked if France went flat because it went deaf. It took a while to work out that she was on about... She'd heard me say Pope Francis is dead.

I've been off work for 2 weeks, away for some of it, it's a double bank holiday weekend, and today I've washed the car and I'm cooking a roast... I have no idea what day it is anymore.

Hey normal America. Now would be a good time to find the strength to deal with the 🤡 and his sidekicks, and chuck them in jail for market manipulation and insider trading.

My wife bought some colour-changing light bulbs, set them according to my 3 year old's preference, and I can't change the colour. I'm not complaining. #Pink

Just heard an ad for Samsung's latest galaxy watch and its "subscription free health app". Nice subtle dig at Garmin.

Using my head as a pin hole camera to see the eclipse. Perfectly normal

Been training for weeks, and battling hard all week to fight off a virus... ... And now there's a risk of my half marathon being called off anyway due to someone making explosives! You couldn't make this stuff up! #ukrunchat

Sheffield is Red and White! A derby double, 8 left to play, level on points at the top, and would be top without that 2 point deduction. And to think everyone expected a double relegation! Wilder has done a superb job #BSkyBlades

I think I may have accidentally set up a Kitchen company and hired a highly capable crew who will fit the kitchens to a high standard. Nice merch though, which you can buy here to support @parkinsons.org.uk shop.parkinsons.org.uk/collections/...

Well well well... I wonder what the local ULEZ camera vandals make of that? Bromley one of the areas that's benefited most. #CleanAir news.sky.com/story/anti-p...

Word of the day is ‘whiffling’ (17th century): fickle, inconstant, and making it up as you go along.

The average American voter thinks that the government is too big but that it should spend more money on everything it does. This explains a decent share of the political chaos of this country.

A sunny Sunday afternoon spent giving Vannie a long overdue clean with my little helper!

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

Shameful scenes in the Oval Office that disgrace the office of the POTUS. Two bullies attacking a guest for the benefit of the TV cameras. Britain must stand with its friends and allies in Europe. The consensus of the last 80 years is dead. #Ukraine

Feels like an appropriate time to revisit this era of Public Service Broadcasting music.youtube.com/watch?v=u3ca...

I know this confirms I'm a nerd but I absolutely love this... Digital versions of retro train information boards, including this familiar classic! Nice work, @serailway.bsky.social and Network Rail. #200YearsOfTrainTravel

This is great to see. The original commitment we made was to half CO2 emissions by 2027, and so to have gone beyond that already is a fantastic achievement.

I gave Google Notebook LM my job description and asked it to summarise what I do for a 5 year old. Quite pleased with the result! (4 x 🧵)

I let a Ukrainian nissan cut in front of me earlier because they were in the wrong lane, and found myself muttering "f12k Trump" as if somehow these things are all connected. Little acts of rebellion.

A great show tonight, thanks @mogwai.scot ! Top support from Cloth and Kathryn Joseph too.

I think I've reached a new level of being comfortable in my own skin, as I'm at a gig on my own tonight. Looking forward to seeing #Mogwai for the first time, at Brixton Academy.

Free speech latest bsky.app/profile/dave...

I recently gave blood for the first time in years, and I'm super impressed that you now get told where your blood ended up! (As in which hospital, not as in Mrs Smith from 42 Cherry Orchard Grove, Ipswich)

The modern phenomenon of the Haunted Cereal Bowl has bothered me for years

A further thought... Surely NOW is the moment and the opportunity for Britain to get back closer to Europe? We're stronger together.

I have misplaced a John Lewis gift voucher & really want to buy a toaster. So now I know exactly how that bloke with all the bitcoin in a rubbish dump feels.

Like most I'm pretty horrified by JD Vance courting the far right in Europe. 100 years on from the first rise of fascism, the echoes of history are growing louder.

It was a pleasure to join the @civilsociety.bsky.social #ESGImperative conference today, taking part in a panel discussion on how we don't need to wait for regulation to start reporting on the positive work we do! Plus, it was nice to catch up with @datakilljoy.bsky.social too!

Treated myself to a shiny new Garmin as my old one was knackered, and I've spent most of this evening changing the colours on the watch faces and setting up the data fields just how I like them.
