I know it's unavoidable as it's a major thing, but Bsky didn't used to be very "newsy".

It's like Beirut out there! Seriously it's like everyone got a government issue box of fireworks for tonight!

I know 2025 was difficult for the world, but it's been good to me, personally. I've loved touring Wildly Different, from the Hay Festival, by way of Edinburgh, Sheffield and elsewhere and had the pleasure of speaking about it to so many lovely people. So I'm giving away a signed copy (UK) to 1/2

What time does the tip open?

Now watching ..... Probably going to regret it

Meanwhile Robin Ince genuinely has been cancelled for daring to voice his opinions and for defending trans people. Where's the outrage from the "cancel culture" lot? What are the Free Speech Union doing to help him?

If handing someone their arse, was a video clip

Christmas CANCELLED in London 💔🎄

There are four lights!!! There are also many "best" #TNG episodes. But Chain of Command might just edge it. David Warner Vs Patrick Stewart. A clash of the titans. But we all know Gul Madred wasn't the real baddie.... That was Jellico!!

Friend said there was an earthquake near me. Actually it's up in the lakes. MSN news found an Evening standard story. Ok,the left image does show the lakes.what's the right image showing? ("London was not affected"?) Obvious AI "show me Kendal highlighted on a map of the UK" grab. #GreatJournalism

“Put bluntly, net migration fell because 400,000 fewer foreigners arrived, and 200,000 more foreigners left the UK. This is precisely what Reform, the Mail, and the new, nastier Tory Party have claimed – again and again – they wanted to happen. And now that it has, they have ignored it entirely.”

Trying to generate an updated cert badge list, as Microsoft stopped doing badges and working with Credly 2 years ago. I love GPT's attempt. I am certified in "DadaMentals". It was a tough exam, invigilated by Salvador Dali himself!

Dealer wanted £180 to diagnose car Regular mechanic recommended auto electrician. He has 85 good reviews on Google which don't appear fake. Came. Plugged in tools to odb port and couldn't clear fault. Didn't check fuses/wiring. Offered to remove adblue which isn't road legal...

Movie night!

I've accidentally done this when opening an app with a white background!

This sums up the rose tinted spectacles of retirement perfectly. Maybe simpler, maybe slower times. But there was still bad.

Don't think they're on here (GetSmart), but it's a great cause, & also a chance to own an envelope with a sketch drawn by me with a dried-up fake Temu Sharpie 👍 GET smART! - an online auction in aid of Alzheimer's Society and The Alzheimer Society of Ireland.

Musk's Grok was asked to verify if a tweet featuring a graphic image of the attack on the LNER train was real. I'm not sharing the whole image but here is part of it and the text. 1/3

Daniel Hannan was born in Peru.

What happened yesterday was horrific and my sympathies are with anyone caught up in it. I got refresh/loop stuck at about midnight, I went back to the other place (work acct) coz Bsky didn't seem to be talking about it. It was awash with speculation & shouty idiots. It made me appreciate here 1/2

Props to Brewery Tap in Chester #Limmy #BennyHarvey

Just seen a billboard/advert with England flag titled "Belonging is a plus" And "This is England" along the bottom. Anyone else seen one?
