Zack continues his run of videos that make me a bit teary. Lovely work, proud of you fella

New Boots Day! Very exciting. Solovair, made in the UK in the factory that used to make DMs until they moved all manufacturing abroad. Dark green because I am cool like that.

To show solidarity with President Macron, all European leaders should appear wearing a sweet pair of mirrored Aviators

Saft, Safter, Saftest

Wassail season continues apace, Kilmersdon this afternoon.

Lovely day, Trombone practice on the morning, Morris dancing at a rural Wassail, cider and cake, back to the village pub for more cider, dancing and tunes, bread and soup dinner with dancing friends, then home to read some Gramsci before bed. Can't beat that.

Once again, hot on the heels of last month's show, it's time for The Wrestling from Radstock's legendary Whisty Hall. Someone has just done the classic Double Noggin-Knocker spot, we love to see it.

Ok, #booksky, let's see if anyone can figure this out for me- I have a memory of a picture book when I was a kid with images of children exploring a house in cross-section, with the basements and cellars revealed to be full of crocodiles and demons and stuff. Like Bosch for kids...

On the cusp of handily winning a game of Root online as 4th-seat Cats against Otters, Moles and Tinker. My ancestors will sing songs of this famous victory. #boardgames @leder.games @direwolfdigital.bsky.social

I feel a mid -life crisis solo musical project coming on. All I need is a Fender Bass VI, a fuzz pedal and an enormous kick drum...

This is really going to sully the good name of the UEFA Peace Prize

Old episode newly unlocked on the @trashfuture.bsky.social feed in which @postoctobrist.bsky.social mentions it being "the week where everything falls apart," rendering the recording evergreen.

Found a bunch of first class stamps in an old box, and looked up how to switch them for the new barcode ones First Class stamps are £1.70 now?! These things have surely doubled in price since I bought them, easily the soundest investment of my adult life.

Quick run down of all the movies I watched this year: Trading Places- great movie, man there was a lot of gratuitous boobs in film in the '80s eh? First 5 minutes of Paddington 2 - No, Fuck Off. Super Mario Bros Movie - good to fill the time when you've just learned your dad died. End of list.

Just been to the little town just North of my mum's house, where they have a board game shop/cafe, a comic shop/cafe and a fantasy bookshop all on the same parade. All busy and thriving! The nerd economy is strong on the Wirral

One daughter busy crafting stuff with her new 3D pen, the other perusing her new D&D Monster Manual. Good times. Merry Christmas.

Christmas means Solo Gaming time. This morning- a run at Horizons of Spirit Island, where my Eyes Watch From The Trees quickly scared the pants off the Invaders

Beautiful little gig playing carols with the Brass Band in Timsbury. Felt like the whole village came out for it!

Tiny Tim (who WILL NOT DIE)

Full house for the brass band Christmas concert. Cosy up here, they probably didn't design it to hold a 28-piece brass band.

A gentle reminder if you've received an invoice from a Freelancer/Self employed person which is due before Christmas. Be a love, and pay it today.

My wife is currently trying to get home from Bristol by public transport. It's about 40 minutes in a car. Usually she gets the train to Bath, then a bus. But there's no trains between Bristol and Bath, so she's got the bus that takes 1hr 40m, but that's broken down. This country is a disaster

Banning medical care for trans kids doesn’t stop them from being trans. It just makes their lives into a horrible nightmare.

Fascinated by this Somerset Council advert about food bins where one of the voice actors has decided to get sexy with it- You have never before heard a man (or indeed anthropomorphic cheese wedge) say "so no more stinky bins" in such a horny way. youtu.be/065xzSm4z5Q?...

I've been watching clips of this, Andrea keeps looking around wildly at the desk in front of her, as though she brought all her talking points on little notecards that she accidentally spilled all over the place just before they went live.

My brain often produces incongruous song mashups, but even by my standards, what's currently rolling around my head –a horrendous confluence of Do Ya Think I'm Sexy by Rod Stewart and Doll Parts by Hole– is on another level.

It is once again time for The Wrestling. This guy dressed like 1999 Undertaker has just applied a rear chinlock and demanded the referee "Ask him in Welsh!" immediately endearing him to me

Economists don’t understand capitalism

Just put this on my Instagram feed, but hell maybe my BSky gang will enjoy it too, eh?

The Green Party: "We would like to have a sensible conversation about legalising and regulating drugs" The Prime Minister: "ZACK POLANSKI WANTS TO PERSONALLY SELL CRACK TO YOUR CHILDREN" Adults in the room etc

Saturday night #boardgames Bit of Unmatched: The Invisible Man vs the Three Witches

So have the Girl Guides and WI laid out the mechanics of the Mandatory Genitalia Examinations I assume they're bringing in to support their new policies? Seems like a safeguarding nightmare.

I hope someone draws this wonderful story about Tom Stoppard's Arcadia and the power of the arts to help us see things differently, to the attention of our Education Secretary. Do read it, it will lift your spirits.

Iowacity: the measure of how Iowa something is.

YouTube if you want to. The Lady's not for tubing.

When it comes to ominous parcel delivery notifications, DHL are second to none

Been thinking long and hard about upcoming sets for @restorationgames.bsky.social Unmatched #boardgames and I've got a 4-character set of Amelia Earhart, Buster Keaton, Josephine Foster and Andre The Giant

We're just getting started. Time to lower bills. And tax billionaires. If you want to see the Green Party take on Reform - this is the moment. Join.greenparty.org.uk

I know Heat is the swankier game, but I'm a Flamme Rouge guy always. #BoardGames

Went for a surprisingly rare trip into Bristol yesterday, stopped in Redland park and watched my 9- and 11-year olds play on the same wooden horsie I had lifted them onto as toddlers, had a little cry.

Bristol Labour Councillor takes quick break from making bad-faith criticism of Bristol Greens to do a racism.

Look I think it's good that Your Party want to fly the Socialism flag from the off, but I actually think it's better that the Green Party have developed a Functionally Socialist policy programme from first principles.

Can we hit 100,000 while @zackpolanski.bsky.social is live on Question Time?

Just in case any of my BSky gang are interested in what is, technically, my job - here a uke I've made that you could buy if you want www.instagram.com/p/DPgXqc1DHU...

Why you should become a member and help rewild the Somerset Levels. A wilder, better future - for everyone. www.somersetwildlands.org/support

That's my leadership team right there.

Excited to announce that my Morris side, Radstock Morris, has reached 30% Green Party members. It Will Go Higher. @cllrsamross.bsky.social

Dismiss board gaming as nerd bullshit if you will, but does YOUR hobby provide you with such awesome miniatures of Mothman, a UFO, and Nicola Tesla? Of course not. #Unmatched
