I "just" reposted this earlier but I feel it deserves more of a comment than that. If you move to Wales, base your life here and come to regard yourself as Welsh then, wherever you came from, as far as I'm concerned you're Welsh. Everyone's welcome by yur, like.

Man who moved abroad to avoid hundreds of millions of pounds of tax and whose business have benefited from hundreds of millions of pounds of public funds believes that, 'Britain has been "colonised" by immigrants, who are draining resources from the state.'

Anyone know who the gobshite doing the Women's Ice Hockey comms on TNT is?

Annual #SuperbOwl post.

Playing the vinyl copy of Generation Terrorists by Manics that I randomly packed up @spillersrecords.bsky.social yesterday and having massive flashbacks to my late teens. One of a few great albums that opened my impressionable teenage eyes to alternative music

@seatsixtyone.bsky.social Quick question - the morning Munich HbF to Paris Est direct train doesn't seem to be running on Mon 2 March (or 3rd & 4th) when we'd hoped to use it. Only seems to be running from Stuttgart that day. Can't see obvious reasons on DB/SNCF websites. Any ideas where to look?

Why this headline isn’t “Rad The Impaler” I do not know Amateurs.

Tomorrow I'm doing a lecture with a glorious disaster of a medieval Cymraeg story & so today I'm putting it on Bluesky (so I don't have to open X-itter where I told it the first time) It might be incestuous & sort of has bestiality, but it's also one of the oldest Welsh stories with an LGBT theme!

@adamthomaswalton.bsky.social Lovely little bit of unintended coincidence on tonight's show - you were playing "Shades of Red" by CW & Rio 18 when Florian put The Reds up 3-1 against Newcastle. Had your show on with the commentary on the match down low 🙂

Henceforth I shall be using the fuck out of this 😁

Still can't believe the latest Epstein Files release just casually confirmed the anti-SJW movement was planned by pedophiles. "The entire reactionary anti-woke backlash was masterminded by child traffickers" is the kinda shit I'd say as hyperbolic agitprop, but it was true the whole time.

An old man was out in his rowboat, he saw a bunch of fish. Hello little fishes, what kind of fish are you ? They yelled back Can you speak up as we are a little herd of herring

Later that same day @515mm.bsky.social Considering delivery had been put back from 1630 and this was sent at 19:47 I reckon they just couldn't be arsed Our doorbell is knackered but there was a well lit sign on the front door saying please leave it in the click-lock box underneath the sign

Out on a school night. Largely blaming @adamthomaswalton.bsky.social 🙂

I have some free AI training for you. Ready? AI is not only absolutely shit, but it is also killing the planet. Stop using it! Thank you for attending my free AI training.

This is effectively a government backed advertising campaign for Big Tech for a product that doesn't work properly.

The biggest lie in marketing are the words "Family pack" printed on a big bag of Mini Eggs

Heard the sad news about Sly Dunbar on the school run of all places. I don’t even really know where to start with his immeasurable contribution to music and, well, everything, but watching him at work is best. Here’s Sly and Robbie in action with Black Uhuru at the Rainbow in Finsbury Park in 1981

Liz Truss waiting patiently by her phone for Reform to ring, not realising it's actually a penguin biscuit

Upon defecting to Reform Suella Braverman has said it 'feels like I've come home'. Presumably that'll be because of all the familiar ex-Tory faces around her...

For those of us here in the UK who are watching with horror what is going on over in the US it is very important to remember that this is exactly what Reform wants for us over here. They've said so. They want 'forced deportations' in the US style. We're not safe here either if they win.

Worth remembering when looking at the horrific scenes in the US right now that both Reform and the Tories have pledged to bring in ICE-style organisations to the UK if they win power

Appears this is also true for fascism.

There’s a restaurant in the countryside near Carmarthen called Y Polyn. It’s been serving high quality, locally sourced food with cracking service for over 20 years Every time I visit, I leave with a massive smile on my face ‘cos they’ve absolutely nailed how to run a hospitality business. Lush

@jackthurston.bsky.social You’re in the shop at the National Botanical Gardens 🙂

Which is why we should be finding the money to fund school buses, safe walking and cycling routes for kids. Not only would it reduce emissions, it would also reduce the time burden on parents

"Ah nae longer feel an obligation tae think purely o' peace."

I feel like America plotting to annex Greenland while masked state goons terrorise their own communities at will should encourage British press and politicians to reflect on what happens when you act like "far right" is an unfair slur rather than a necessary descriptor of a real political position.

It’s funny how many of those politicians who couldn’t shut up about “sovereignty” during the Brexit referendum have now spun on a dime because Daddy wants an island. #Greenland

*applause* Bluesky. Keep it up.

FIVE BLOODY QUID FIFTY FOR A LARGE BAG OF MINI EGGS. I mean if they are in fact putting crack in the shell coating (which, frankly, would explain loads) then maybe. But five bloody quid fifty. FFS.

Here in Rome, if people really get pissed off with someone's bad parking, they lift the windscreen wipers of the problem car. Definitely worth adopting that in the UK.

Look at it, it's got anxiety

If a fault this serious was found in software of planes or trains, the entire fleet would be taken out of service until the faults could be fixed. Cars? arstechnica.com/cars/2026/01...
