Only one winner right now

@ethnography911.bsky.social GAME ON!!

@simonrushton.bsky.social hi Simon, hope you’re well, long time and all that ! Are you free for a quick chat in the next week or so? Cheers, Dean

Can we please have Sue Barker back…CB is unutterably bad. TA, MN, AK, MB, EB marvellous but fuck me she is a terrible broadcaster and she knows the square root of fuck all about tennis

@ethnography911.bsky.social looking forward to the match? Any predictions? Fun fact…BBC just showed Ann Jones in the Royal Box…on nodding terms with the marvellous woman, we are members at Priory and walk our dogs around Edgbaston Reservoir, she’s utterly charming and 8 slams too!!

@dogtorapproximate.bsky.social well you are my new hero! Guess I have Rupert Lowe to thank. Nico (profile pic) is half GSD and came after I lost Alfie (full GSD) to DM a few years back…

@ethnography911.bsky.social well that was a bonkers tie break…poor CG is going to have nightmares about that match point

@bearlypolitics.co.uk searching for art to hang over desk in my new home, saw this, and as they say I thought of you…

podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t... @esherukweku.bsky.social here you go

podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t... @esherukweku.bsky.social not this one but think you’ll enjoy this too

As a mediocre middle aged white man who loves his tennis…I give up…what a woman… SERENA! @ethnography911.bsky.social pls pls give her a wild card for Tuesday!

I don’t give a f***…I’m watching Serena!! @ethnography911.bsky.social

It feels as if there should be some sort of idiom…perhaps about being organised…

@jwmueller-pu.bsky.social what you said!

podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/p... @dorianlynskey.bsky.social have you listened to this?

@esherukweku.bsky.social highlighted this early - feels like something you might appreciate!

@clareweze.bsky.social looked your book up and the brief description referred to ‘displacement’…spookily I was reading Said on the ‘intellectual exile’ guess the universe is saying ‘buy the book…buy the book’

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... I pray Farage and 30p are at the front of the queue for unnecessary screening (and all that entails)…utter morons. No surprise to see the Daily Mail leading the anti-public health crusade given its early promotion of Wakefield’s MMR BS

Reading this bland and vague "local crime" story you'd never know that the guy charged with murder, Billy Allison, is the founder of flag-shagging Raise the Colours. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

@gavinyamey.bsky.social definitely worth a listen (these guys are great) @originstorypodcast.bsky.social

@michelawrong.bsky.social a quick thank you. We met at latitude in 2010…I’d just returned from Kenya. In no small part inspired by you I start an MFA in September of this year! Thank you

He does…just on bed no. 2 - not that he uses it

www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026... Surprised it’s so low

Happy birthday pup

When they say we had no idea remind them (if you notice) that senior leadership in the NhS and c.350 people here did have an inkling. Be lucky people

I got my voluntary redundancy approved! I retire in 187 days

Completely forgot I bought tickets for this… bmusic.co.uk/events/bc-20... Just when I desperately needed a boost and the universe provided

“The principled opposition to racism and imperialism that once made India the moral leader of Asia went missing well before Modi and his toadies emerged with their WhatsApp forwards to deride the ideals of Gandhi and Nehru.” —Pankaj Mishra

@disabilitystor1.bsky.social I was wrong…RFK Jr IS a medical professional!

‘Hours before the bombing started, Oman’s foreign minister, who had hosted a round of negotiations on 26 February, said Iran had agreed to essentially all the US terms. It didn’t matter.’ @tomstevenson.bsky.social on the US attacks on Iran. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

@nicolaspurr.bsky.social trust me, it’s almost as funny as it is troubling

They're not wrong.

@iandunt.bsky.social this is awesome + there’s a para in the first few pages remarkably similar to a part of your @originstorypodcast.bsky.social episode on Cultural Marxism - it really is uncanny

@gavinyamey.bsky.social hello Prof Yamey’s mum…

@gavinyamey.bsky.social Hey boss. Greetings from Dean in the UK. Been ill…finally checking in again and as always…succour for a troubled soul. Love to you and the Yamey clan

@originstorypodcast.bsky.social fun fact…was listening to an old Q&A and it struck me that the dynamic duo had very strong Eddie Izzard and Jack Dee vibes…(in a good way I hasten to add)

open.substack.com/live-stream/... @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social maybe ask live??

@hardeepmatharu.bsky.social @peterjukes.bsky.social hi both, thought you should see this… @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social

Excellent timing / see my compliment of about 5 mins ago!

open.substack.com/pub/iratusur... @bearlypolitics.co.uk this is really good stuff (links to my doctoral research but when I try to write it now I can’t avoid profanity)!

@natashabertrand.bsky.social we got you…

@helenlewis.bsky.social p138 🤬

@helenlewis.bsky.social you haven’t shared your score! Are you? Were you pleased? Surprised? Devastated? I lean toward what Madeline Albright might describe as ‘acts of genius’ (1994)…and this + the mesmerism episode of @ppfideas.bsky.social are, for me, in that category

Hive mind…is there a mental health equivalent of an AA sponsor?

@bookwormvaught.bsky.social Hi Dr Vaught…quick question…are you still mentoring (just visited your website and am intrigued)

@iandunt.bsky.social @dorianlynskey.bsky.social your favourite word / preservative
