Managed to repair the display on my 38 y/o Toshiba ER-7700EW microwave. The symptom was - intermittently turns off/on but often does so gradually. After a couple of years searching, an identical microwave came up on eBay "spares or repairs" also with a faulty display. 1/n

Can any archery experts spot a subtle mistake in this image from a series set circa 1470? @fakehistoryhunter.net

Is there a way to see Trending topics that AREN'T sport? Trending is routinely dominated by sport; I have no objection to Bluesky being dominated by sport (or any other topic) but I would like to see what other topics are trending.

“I’ve known Jeff [Epstein] for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York magazine in 2002. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.” Today Trump says he didn't know about Epstein's activities.

“A Led By Donkeys spokesperson said: “It’s good the police now accept it’s not illegal to project a film about Donald Trump’s close relationship with America’s most notorious child sex trafficker on to a wall.” www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Is Trump the very last person on earth to realise Putin's been playing Trump like a fiddle? #Dumb

Anyone else have the impression that Trump wouldn't bother trying for peace in Gaza if he wasn't *desperate* for a Nobel?

Can anyone with finance knowledge tell me how I short the AI bubble?

This story is now big news all over the world... except in the UK.

@bengoldacre.bsky.social You were name checked on this video, about the stats-skewing over-positive results caused by failing trials being aborted and not reported. www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwIK...

What a great logo... Sadly, it turned out to be just a coffee shop. Perhaps the owner used to be a coder? #68000 #Motorola #Assembler #retro

Charlie Kirk's beautiful words and ideas should stand as his memorial.

Mandelson was made ambassador because of his connections to Epstein and Trump (and their whole rich 'n' sleazy circle), not in spite of them.

Good to see #TrumpEpstein on display at Windsor

Remember when tyrannical governments went to the actual effort of faking evidence? Instead of just announcing conclusions? Good times. abcnews.go.com/Politics/van...

The political party who celebrated Paul Pelosi's assault, ignored Melissa Hortman's assassination, laughed at the attempt to kidnap Gov. Whitmer, and cheered as insurrectionists on Jan 6th attempted a violent coup of Congress want you to be ultra respectful about Charlie Kirk

Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life. The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.

Only Trump could have the brass neck to condemn poliotical violence, and then list instances anti-MAGA violence, and omit instances of anti Dem violence with a straight face.

Ashli Babbitt looks like pure trolling by Trump.

@talkingpicturestv.bsky.social Re: Islington Road Safety 1940s A 1940s short film issued by the Islington Road Safety Committee about the importance of taking precautions when using the road, the lack of road safety and the rise in dangers for pedestrians. 1/2

Wow. Periscope Film just put this up, from 1950. It's a short (presumably made by Hollywood Film Companies) telling you that you should *definitely* trust the historical accuracy of Hollywood films. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NPuU... @fakehistoryhunter.net

Farage's speech didn't differ in any substantial way from the drunken member at the 19th hole: "If I had my way, I'd sent 'em all back where they came from"

It is very nearly the tenth anniversary of that brief moment when, for 2 or 3 days, British newspapers remembered refugees are desperate human beings who need our help, rather than scum that it's okay to threaten with violence.

So Maxwell is getting the reward *before* she makes up some lies to protect Trump re: Epstein. Damn, that really is a 5 dimensional chess move. #TrumpEpstein

Remember when Gerrymandering was something politicians would fervently deny, or at least hide behind plausible reasons for moving boundaries? As opposed to, say, having the President of the US openly demand it?

@foreverlouiseb1.bsky.social A important question; does NoirChick still post on Twitter? I miss her...

@cleyspy.bsky.social It's a commonplace that a current "hot hatch" can match what a 70s super car could do. How many years do we have to go back such that a modern "mid range" optic (Hawke, Opticron, Vortex) can match an old Elite brand (Leica, Zeiss, Swarovski) ?

@vivdunstan.bsky.social For you... www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd6G...

@markmiodownik.bsky.social I bought a premium leaf rake from Spear & Jackson. Lovely wide flexible head, glorious real ash, sculpted handle. Eventually the head wore out, but the handle was (obvs) still fine. I couldn't find a replacement head anywhere. So I contacted S&J. 1/2

Ossoff: Did anyone really think the sexual predator president who used to party with Jeffrey Epstein was going to release the Epstein files?

Removing sticky "soft touch" from plastic item - I had a Technoline BL700 battery charger (2016). It turned out that Isopropyl Alcohol on a cotton cloth dissolved the soft touch crap, resulting in a soft goo, that I wiped away with another cloth. The thing need two passes, but came out well.

To add to a chorus: Hi friends, if you are able to do so, please find a No Kings protest you can get to this weekend. Showing up matters. Huge turnout helps counteract the fear & paralysis the authoritarians want you to feel. www.nokings.org

Any body think we're hurtling toward a new "Kent State University" incident?

Dear Mr. Clegg I have started a business, selling the contents of your house I knew when I launched I did not have legal access your house Without this access my company will not be profitable Others have told me I have a flawed business model, but I disagree Please advise how I should proceed

@markmiodownik.bsky.social This seems to have been widely ignored? www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

Is the debunk of the Rapey Satsuma's South African Genocide video out yet?

Centralized price control? Ain’t that Socialism?

Amazing the amount of private deals the Trump dynasty is making on this middle east tour, which are NOT LINKED in any way with the Presidential visit. Pure cooincidence, similar to the completely #JustifiedInTheNationalInterest favours Qatar is about to get.

hey can we all agree to refer to this only as the "$400 million bribe plane"? #BribePlane

www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m... "In his lifetime, Mark Twain was the greatest literary celebrity the world had ever known." Charles Dickens would like a word.

There seems to be a lot of (deliberate...) confusion over what Mike Waltz did wrong. The illegal (re:Federal Records Act) thing was holding national security discussions on non-gvmt comms - Signal. It was merely a piece of carelessness that included a journalist which revealed the illegal thing.

Thus far we know that Reform are very good at saying everything's crap and it's all the fault of immigrants. Now we get to see if they can run a council.

Hey Siri, show me an example of conflict of interest and corruption. President Donald Trump trying to get Keir Starmer to influence the R&A to hold the open at Turnberry.

@scifiart.bsky.social Looks more like a videogame!

Just waiting for the "he's playing 5 dimensional chess" fans to says that Trump *wanted* Carney to win...
