Loki and Freya sharing the brief glimpse of sun we got the other day

Freya is crushing #wontlookwednesday I've never seen her do this before! In fact none of my dogs has even wiggled into the bed like this. (Apologies for the muddy sheet. Dogs be dogs)

Just a sleeping noodle mouse, all coiled up. He is 90 percent leg

Loki and Freya modelling Sunday.

I've been sitting on this for a month or two now and can't seem to articulate why. But anyway, we adopted a new #greyhound and she's lovely and quite shy but she loves us and cuddles. She swishes her tail like a magic wand and gets on very well with Loki. Welcome, Freya. #dogsofbluesky #sighthound

Folks, can we stop saying that platforms like YouTube etc 'democratize' creative efforts? That's the wrong word. What they do actually do is *feudalise* creativity. They also impact in a more subtle way, what gets made. Music post-Napster/streaming, Hollywood post-DVD.

Further evidence, in case we needed it (we didn't) that our convenience and bottom line often comes at a terrible price to those from whom we get stuff. www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...

I think Loki might want something... #whippet #dogsofbluesky #greyhound #adoptdontbuy

I love how coquettish ChatGPT is about not analysing or reproducing parts of copyrighted content or style. Given all the accusations of pirated work being used to train it. Like a forger who refuses to make monopoly money.

Even the slenderest slivers of winter sun will be Lokied

@theraindogs.bsky.social @garethbouch.bsky.social I'm digging this on bandcamp and especially liked Not all Who Wander so bought the digital. Sprit of the River gave me real Pat Metheny vibes in the best way.

Looking forward to this!

Loki wasted no time in finding the heated blanket, in the brief moment I set it down (Don't worry, it's on a low setting he is in no danger of being burned)

Okay can someone please explain to me why being indoors in a room that's c20 degrees Celsius has me in a jumper and electric blanket in November, while in July with the same conditions I'm in a t-shirt? Same conditions. Totally different perception of levels of cold

No, I'm sorry, you aren't allowed to be a tech company that's too big to have a burst bubble and ALSO be completely unregulated. We've all seen that movie a few times with similarly regulation-averse industries. Ack, who am I kidding.

I'd recommend this series to anyone tbh. It crosses the pond well. Funny, exciting, tremendously page turning, and humane.

Hey @batfett.bsky.social -- fancy one of these? Or is it a star wars too far? Haha I wish they'd gone for some humour here. 'bantha poodoo' 'nerf-herder musk' 'Your home, too, can smell like a wretched hive of scum and villainy' www.gamespot.com/gallery/blac...

Yep this pretty much captures it exactly. What it's like to own a #greyhound

It's worth it! A good read that I much enjoyed and I'm not usually a crime fiction reader

Very tempted to adopt a lovely grey who is very fresh off the racing world and very shy, not sure what to make of people. Blue was SO friendly from the start. So easy to love! lovely #greyhound folks... Have you ever had one that didn't warm up? Or that you didn't warm to?

I haven't plugged my book in ages, and with #Halloween coming up, now is a great time to read an action-packed #vampire urban fantasy. It's basically Buffy meets Trainspotting. ✅ Strong female lead ✅ Funny bits ✅ Ass-Kicking I think you'll enjoy it #booksky

Little Loki knapsack... Just needs to be attached to a stick and I'll have all I need to run away from home!

Little known fact: as the weather gets colder, whippets turn into dragons. Rar. Be very scared. #whippet #lurcher #dogsofbluesky

Look at this talented (and photogenic) bunch! Presenting our 2025 authors, expertly photographed by @paulandrewreich.bsky.social once more.

This was from one of the holidays we took with both the boys. A wonderful holiday cottage that was totally set up for dogs. This was the first Blue (🌈) learned how to jump up on sofas! Little Loki showed him the way. In the evenings I'd join them and we watched Wolf Hall. Log fire. Bliss.

Loki with yogurt pot never ceases to make me smile

Pretty much all the star wars movie titles work here but my favourite is The Rise of Sausage

Jurassic Sausage 🦖🌭

They didn't often share a bed, and this one was more a product of Lokis love of the sun than any real fondness between them. Blue (🌈) looks unimpressed. #greyhound #dogsofbluesky #whippet

I've been watching Star wars episode 4 on Disney Plus. It's definitely not the best version. The CGI looks awful and the scene with Han and Greedo is unforgivable. I still have cassette tapes from the THX remaster they did in...1994? 1996? They're fine. Or at least better than this!

You'd never guess the length of the rapsheet on this boy when he's lying here looking like this...

Is there a precise moment when video games just...enshittified? I've been a serious gamer my entire life and now I look at what's on offer and just....bleh. When the most interesting thing to talk about is skins, or another sequel, or an IP crossover event, or a twitch stream... Lost its way

Some sad news, I'm afraid. Our greyhound, Mister Blue, died swiftly and unexpectedly yesterday morning. Vet at a loss; likely a spinal injury triggering shock and heart failure. No warning, and no real history of trouble. From running around daft to dead in 30 minutes. We're gutted, obviously. (1/2)

Just in case anyone in the south London region is looking to adopt a very sweet hound, an acquaintance of mine is having sadly to return his boy to FOAL farm. FOAL are a wonderful outfit. That's where we got our Loki www.foalfarm.org.uk/dogs/rambo/

This noodle is extra bendy. 360 degree #whippet #dogsofbluesky

Sigh. Not cool Loki, not cool. Need a different bed solution for him I think. And refresh the separation anxiety training. No biggie.

Nothing beats a good noodle pretzel

Happiness is bringing home a dog who, exhausted from chasing a ball in the park, collapses in a panting, grinning mess by your desk while you work

I remember it! Remember enjoying it too. Big dark finale! Solid.

Debut. Darkest book by a long way. The Family: Available on audiobook and ebook: amzn.eu/d/0YMkq55 #booksky #books #thrillers #crime 📚💙

Obligatory cone of shame pic! In fact he didn't need is. Stitches are out and he's doing really well. New lease on life. Running around and obviously immediately got an abrasion on the same foot so now limping again! But he's so obviously happier.

Just got a freebie video game. Voice-over is clearly AI. So gross. Honestly? I'd rather just read the tutorial than listen to fake voice acting with all its odd intonation and timing.

Our grey is recovering from a tendon surgery. It seems to have gone well.

Cargo shorts are cool, okay!! They go well with my Crocs

Just me and the boys doing our best to chill in the hot weather #dogsofbluesky #rescue

Nice interview on the Bookshelf Cafe: www.thebookshelfcafe.news/author-inter...

Him Loki. Him washed. Him ready toweltime yisss.

Video games industry: we're going to sack a ton of people and cancel games to save money and keep costs down Also video games industry: here now please buy games at a higher price than ever. Fuckin suits killed my hobby, man.
