Had some v nice compliments recently including multiple people saying they can hear The Cure, Bjork, Smashing Pumpkins, Killing Joke and Sonic Youth in our music. These are all huge influences but we hope we have our own sound too. Death On Our Side comes out on Weds 21 Jan

I will repeat.

Mark: Hey Phil, why did you take an instant dislike to my girlfriend? Phil: To save time.

@ultraxine.bsky.social Well hello there!

Why, in this age of technology and Internet of Things, does an Outlook message give you warnings about attachments but hair trimmers don't? I have no hair.

I had great fun immortalising Kevin the dog!

An absolutely huge thank you to @stevemaythe1st.bsky.social who, armed with two pictures and a brief of "This is Kevin. He's a right bellend who loves barmaids, beer and boobs" has created this. I fucking love it! Thanks Steve!

Having illustrated the problem of X ignoring its legal duties, I want to build an effective coalition for intervention. If you are or know people on X receiving racist abuse, rape threats, I would welcome receipts of one rejected attempt to report to the platform an indefensible case

The ECHR exists to protect you from people who want to leave it.

My brand new Sinombré single, Never Again, is now available to stream/download over on Bandcamp! paulmiro.bandcamp.com/track/never-...

Seems the dumb and dangerous and tragic Swallowed a delusion Sold by braggarts and loudmouthed buffoons. Rustled up a faded flag like magic, Fed us an illusion, Half the masses dancing to their tune.

Fucking awesome. With a few blasts of red spray paint you can turn the English flag into the Dead Kennedys logo As the band said: Nazi punks, fuck off!

My “FUCK ICE!” playlist available now on Spotify! A rocking little soundtrack to enjoy while you drive those bastards out of your neighborhood! #DefendLA #Defend (YourCityHere) open.spotify.com/playlist/5M4...

"That old thing? no it's not plugged in.."

Bought a little barbecue/grill thing so I can treat the barstaff to food without heating my apartment to 35c. Overheard telling staff: "I once chartered an Antonov-124, the worlds largest cargo aircraft at the time, and that was less complicated than assembling this cunt"

Me: *block account* *show less like this* *block account* *show less like this* *refresh* Bsky: Here's a load more of that stuff you blocked and want to see less of Repeat ad infinitum

We always hoped they were kidding Waiting for the big blowdown We know the shadows so well Doing your enemy’s bidding Heading for the big showdown. It never changes #Stopthewar

Given his spiralling drug habit, physical coordination of shopping trolley & a predilection for vehicles that explode, never has the instruction ‘Make it look like an accident’ been more redundant. If he’s found folded into a vending machine with a machete in his neck you’d think ‘Yep, that tracks’.

I knew it….

Hope anyone in need or homeless sees this

"I am prepared to wait until you bring food" #Foxoftheday #Fox #Nature

Utterly unglued.

You're on public transport and someone is rudely playing music/TikTok on their phone without headphones/earbuds. You've got Mr. Robot/Person of Interest tech ability to BlueJack them. What do you hijack them with to make sure they turn their phone off and never do it again?

Welcome Sioni, the latest Welsh Collie to join my parents household. Probably going to be as much of a deranged bellend as the other three. #DogsofBluesky

You've all seen wind turbines, but did you ever stop to think about how blades the length of a football pitch get to the final destaination? Here's how.

Hey @bsky.app Any chance you can sort your algorithim out? I think it's great there's content for everyone here, but never have I shown any interest in sexualised anime, big hairy gay guys in their tighty-whities or cats yet my "Discover" feed is full of them. Show Less/Block does not work.

Charismatic fox in my Dad's back garden in #Stockport Possibly having an adverse reaction to the Asda cocktail sausages he feeds them. #foxoftheday

Prescient. @mrjimbob.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Absolutely. But also making snakebite from Merrydown cider and Special Brew.

One of those deaths head hawk moths perhaps?

I rue the day I got rid of my iPhone 14 pro 'cause the camera on a much cheaper alternative is awful. Anyway...35 day aged fillet steak marinated for 24 hours in chill, garlic, lime juice and paprika, with new potatoes, English asparagus and chimichurri. Barstaff at my local are in for a treat.

Well, what a surprise.

Counterpoint: Universal have spotted an opportunity as brexit has now made it more difficult and more expensive to holiday in Europe with your kids.

If you're anywhere close by, I do recommend checking this out. Not only is Willie an absurdly talented musician, he's a genuinely nice guy and one of the most intelligent and well read people I've ever had the pleasure to meet.

How do you pronounce DOGE? I go with doggy because it craps all over the place, makes lots of noise and then licks it's own balls.

Strangely enough the Telegraph looks less ridiculous with Sunday Sport stories.

excellent EU Citizens Initiative. All EU citizens can add their voice to this and I recommend you do and Repost. I have included a brief splainer below for brexiter britons on how EU citizen initiatives work. They can share it with any European friends they may still have. 1/3

I can skin a rabbit in 30 seconds and accurately recall all the lyrics to the Animaniacs theme.

Highly recommended. If you're looking for mixing, production, vocals, or guitars, you could do a lot worse than talking to Paul. Honestly, hooked me after three songs at a show. Just him and his acoustic. Got almost everything he's done before or since. Highly recommend the Sinombré 4 album opus.

Worth following Niall for an objective take on our on-going "relationship" with Europe & the EU.

For our political representatives, who should look after the electorate & the environment, but instead make policy for lobbyists, private and corporate donors along with global businesses. We’re lead by self-interested, corrupt politicians who climb aboard 'The Gravy Train' youtu.be/6fB873WGg7A?...

Many years ago back at school, our English lit' teacher asked us to read Brideshead Revisited. I raised my hand. Mr. Harper: Yes, Sean. Me: You realise this means Waugh?

To sue for defamation, Liz Truss has to show "serious harm" (section 1 of the Defamation Act). The more you retweet this the easier it will be for her to show serious harm leaving her nowhere to hide when she doesn't. You know what to do!

For my 100th post here, I'd like to you to introduce you to my Dad's dog, Kevin.

A good explainer from Dmitry.
