I was in My Lai on 17 March 1998 just after the 30th anniversary. Was genuinely astonished that the local people chose to remember Hugh Thompson and his crew rather than the perpetrators of the massacre. The fact that nobody was really held responsible was a disgrace.

Travelodge apologises that this has hit the press and promises to do the bare minimum so we all stop talking about this again. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Attended the recording for a couple of Room101 shows this evening. Enjoyed listening to Paul Merton with his guests Andy Hamilton and Lucy Porter.

A first time for me! Cleaned up all the possible words.

Sad to hear that Eric Dane (aka McSteamy from Grey's Anatomy) has died. He always brought a delightful touch of humour to every role I saw him play.

Just discovered Cross on Amazon Prime. Great adaptation. Just at the end of the first series now. "Sugar stop. You had me at motherfucker" made me lol. Fluffy Jerry Maguire romcom it ain't

Catching up on this week's Mock The Week. So glad to see it back on our screens

Lovely evening listening to Prof Brian Cox on the warm up for his latest tour in Guildford. Fascinating stuff and he is such an excellent communicator that it makes it very accessible. Well worth a watch if you get the opportunity.

Received this text message from my father yesterday. Panicked that he had had a stroke, or similar. Turns out it was my iPhone trying to transcribe the Irish language.

@megrowler.fangraphs.com Saw this and thought of you guys

This week, an X user created an AI video of me being chloroformed and prepared for rape. Victims are told it's not real and they're getting offended for no reason. But nudification tools are weapons of sexual assault, and the harm they cause is real 👇 jessasato.substack.com/p/ai-nudific...

Ah Faraaz. Realised what was happening just too late to be useful #thetraitors

Mark Carney is spot on here. It's all change and it's about time that Starmer woke up to that fact.

Have spent most of the weekend decoding Viginere cyphers. Astonishing how quickly the time flies by

How on earth do you flip a truck doing 12mph?

Cracking evening out at the local pantomime. Great show. #Woking #SnowWhite

The story of Farage and Putin, told by British-Ukrainian soldier Shaun Pinner on a destroyed apartment block in Kyiv.

It's that time of the year again when I get together with a couple of friends to affirm how thick we all are in attempting to solve Pablo's (RIP) Armchair Treasure Hunt (www.pablosath.com/current/puzzle).

Very sad to read this. The BBC seems to be scared of its own shadow; desperately trying to pander to the far right, apparently unaware that nothing they do will be enough. Better to stand for your values than to be dragged down in a desperate attempt to survive. Bon chance @robinince.bsky.social

It's a mark of our moral disintegration that there's even a discussion about Ukraine giving up land. To even countenance it is to reward colonialism.

Holy cow! Just posted a few Christmas cards abroad. £3.40 each! Same price for France as Australia. Was not expecting that. When did it get so expensive?

Exactly this. The plan is asking Zelenskyy and all Ukrainians to trust their lives and futures to the word of the man who invaded them and the word of the man who betrayed them.

Utterly horrendous story of life in Spain under Franco combined with religious oppression. BBC News - Patronato: My mum was a 17-year-old free spirit in Franco's Spain - so she was locked up and put in a coma - BBC News www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I for one will welcome our Chinese overlords #Beerjacket #China #Tsingtao

I see that the resident NYT oxygen thief Ross fucking Douthat has been opining on feminism again. What a complete prick that man is.

This is the story that just keeps giving isn't it? I mean are they really trying if their password isn't 'L0uvre@2025!' ?

Saw Deliver Me From Nowhere this evening. Not usually a music biopic fan but thought this was good. Jeremy Allen White and Jeremy Strong were excellent

Just spotted that BlueSky now has bookmarks - happy days!

Of course the venal Farage is cosying up to the religious whackjobs in the US. The sooner they crack down on political contributions from abroad the better. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/w...

Two friends in two days have announced that they are retiring. Man alive - it's getting harder and harder not to think of it myself, but I don't think I'm quite there yet. Mind you, one bad day at work could easily push me over the edge.

I get annoyed by the AI bollocks that is returned when I do a simple Google search. Have learnt that throwing a random swear word into the search bar stops this nonsense dead in its tracks. #toptip

Some much needed laughs at Dara O'Briain's show. I didn't have the grooming of an innocent Canadian family on my bingo card 😂

@natschatpodcast.bsky.social As a Nats fan from the UK, I just wanted to say thankyou for your excellent coverage over the last season. You accompanied me on my morning walks after every game - including this morning. Hopefully next season will be better. As Yazz said "The Only Way Is Up" #GoNats

Have spent all day listening to a 'drip' in the kitchen that I couldn't find. Concerted effort of over an hour established that it wasn't a leak, but a low battery warning on my old Carbon Monoxide detector. Feeling like a right dope! I'd bought a new one but forgot to remove the old one.

Sorry to hear that Robert Redford has died. Loved his performances in Three Days of The Condor and Brubaker as well as the more popular stuff like All The President's Men / Butch Cassidy & The Sundance Kid. Spent many hours watching his movies over the years. RIP

I've succumbed and put on a pair of jeans. First time I haven't been wearing shorts since April. Winter is coming.

Well that was annoying

It's August. Far too early for the C word to be invoked. And disturbing how much of the display is already gone.

Watched The Thursday Murder Club on Netflix. Enjoyed it though Ron wearing a t-shirt I also own (all hail Bruce Springsteen) made me feel old!

Finally had to acknowledge that my car is utterly filthy. Have dropped it off to allow a phalanx of energetic youngsters to descend upon it. Inside and out for £23. Rather them than me

Also tacky as fuck.

Some @privateeyenews.bsky.social are only so-so. Others are for the ages…

Feeling a bit out of touch. When was it that we moved from the Richter Scale to the Moment Magnitude scale as a measure of earthquakes? Was listening to a news report and thought "wait what".

It is my goal to spread this trick for cooling down your car far and wide. Maybe you know it but I just learned it and it works like a charm. youtube.com/shorts/oKRcb...

holy shit lmao
