I was too busy being tired and hungover this morning but I have put this on and it is excellent I have no idea how it has apparently been broadcast by the BBC for over half a century and this is the first I've heard of it?? I also like how because it's EBU it has a weirdly Eurovision feel to it

RADIO WEST KLAXON. A few people on my timeline know exactly what this means and will be preparing a reply about the duration and next career move of a certain DJ's spell on the Morning Show.

Me, waking up this morning, to 2026:

Ah, New Year’s Day! That can only mean one thing. YES, THAT’S RIGHT! The 148th anniversary of New York Herald proprietor James Gordon Bennett Jr being banished from polite society for pissing in his fiancée’s fireplace, thus giving the world the phrase ‘Gordon Bennett!’ 🧵

It is... interesting seeing Chelsea used as an example of how to run a football club positively

"Sir. This plate has been empty since last year."

Yes, I'd love to hear your forecast for 2026.

Unlike 2018, where I ended up with a hangover that lasted for about two weeks, I'm calling it a night now and not opening the Jaegermeister. Happy new year everyone!

Jasper Conran pissed out of his tree at 3 in the afternoon three months ago trying to flirt with one of the Kooks.

Another drokkin' year

Andre Schuerrle, Robert Huth, Marko Marin - all the great German footballers who played for Chelsea. ALL OF THEM.

Cracked open the last Augustiner. Here's to you Andre Schuerrle!

2026 can't peak this early ☹️

i seek stable relationships in my life because my capacity for stress, drama and mess is all taken up by my football club

Did Sadiq negotiate a discount on The Fireworks this year? Sure that went on a fair few minutes than usual.

Playing out 2025 with A Tout Le Monde

The problem with the fat jabs is now all the celebrities you've known for years look like they are battling an aggressive wasting illness

Here's to you Johannes Kepler, whose orbital elements salvaged my degree, and to you Max Planck whose black body radiation equation keeps me in a job

PSA: Sainsbury's are now selling Augustiner Helles. I am drinking Augustiner Helles.

Apparently it's coincidence that they went from live concerts to prerecords after Madness, but you'll struggle to convince me.

If you were watching movies in the 80s, you almost certainly knew his face, even if you didn't know his name. Australian character actor Vernon Wells turns 80 today. #filmsky

The BBC absolute outdid themselves with the New Year's Live concerts with two years where they did Nile Rogers and Chic (who were absolutely amazing) and then Madness (where a catastrophically pissed Suggs held it together long enough to pull off a damned good show).

Wishing you all a Happy New Year and a great start to 2026 🤘

Once at a place I worked they got a guy in to do meditation sessions. The first was broadly compulsory. He told his story about how meditation etc. had helped him, but it was quite clear that what really mattered was giving up working 60+ hour weeks sustained by mountains of coke.

First day of 2025 vs last day of 2025.

*shakes fist* BOLSONARO

The most reposted "new to Blue Sky" thread though - and finally with alt text - was this one. It's pretty much the reason you're all following this account as it's where things really took off. bsky.app/profile/drea...

It's harder to get stats out of Blue Sky, and I might have missed something, but unsurprisingly this appears to have been the most-shared entirely new thread this year. Why not relive the fun of following a Big Boat Stuck in real time?

Only way Eghbali starts thinking that is if the guns are turned on him personally by fans and media. The latter still cite Boehly. You might as well mention Ken Bates as he is equally involved in decisions these days

Leaving going to the shops for supplies until today was an absolutely flawless plan with no potential downsides. It's a good thing that I won't open my curtains to a morning of thick freezing fog! <Opens curtains> OH FOR FU

Today is the last day that you can repost this image

Get this, they actually say things no one else can/will say. Some of them even smoke cigarettes that you can buy in a shop. Just you try stopping them. Oh boy. They'll never stop saying scary things, unless an oil state tells them to not do that, then they'll say other things, obvs.

oh for fuck's SAKE

In the hidden tribe of vaguely Polynesian types in the Final Fantasy XVI DLC, given they all have Geordie accents, clearly someone confused South Seas and South Shields

Gonna assume it was “Allow it to be taken over by a Private Equity firm.”

That was the most embarrassing performance from a home team tonight. Now to check in at Old Trafford.

I need an on-the-nose visual analogy of Chelsea's issues <Maresca takes off Estevao Willian and beings on Jamie Gittens in the second minute of stoppage time when we're chasing a winner> No, that's too on-the-nose #TheFootball

We beat City on Sunday, you know that right? #TheFootball

I'm listening to the match commentary whilst following the Darts on the PDC live score tracker (which gives dart-by-dart updates) and the MvG v Ando match has been a ridiculously high standard whereas the fooball... hasn't.

In fond remembrancing of the late Cecilia Giménez of Monkey Christ fame, I humbly offer post-surgery Monkey Jimmy "the bastard" Carr.x

Coming to quite like the patented Parents' TV On Factory Settings look. Gives Paddington In Peru the crisp overlit digital ambience of a Children in Need skit broadcast live c. 2007.

Then is easy: Prince of Persia the Sands of Time was one of the very few games I played all the way to the end and had a very good time doing so. Now? Erm... none of them? Maybe KotOR, which I did play recently(ish) and was enjoying until I hit a progress ending crash.

No wonder he pushed him off the ladder

I suppose when you're the set piece coach in the end you just have to hold your hands up. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Exactly what event is the "release of the internet" here?

Catching up with the morning emails from pals

I went into The Outside and came across a side quest cat and a portal
