Is the tortoise dead or alive?

I know just how you feel, Sam 😑 🍊🤡

It’s nearly time for our national diary day! Every 12th May we ask people to write down what they got up to. This year we’re also really interested in experiences of nature and wellbeing, as well as what else you get up to on the day! #diary #journal #nature #skystorians #write #Archive

Not in the mood for April Fool stuff today. There are too many absolute jokes in the world already that are very unfunny

Morning all. Woken up with a thought (pre coffee as well, which for me is impressive). Remember David and Ruth decided Pip should have Brookfield because it would only support one family? Well, Bridge Farm is smaller and yet expected to support *two* families in the future? How come? 🤔 #thearchers

There is no specific tribute page but any donations to the MS Society are appreciated. As for #thearchers music - how could we not? 😀

Hi chaps. I’m Neil’s sister in law, Helen Firstly thank you to those who have shared kind words and who have taken the trouble to watch the funeral. His friends ‘behind the screen’ were really important to him, and a big part of his life. Neil would have been chuffed.

What’s Carol on about? Sounded a bit doom and gloom #thearchers

I know others were interested in making a donation in condolence too, so just updating on this for @ambridgeponyclub.bsky.social .and anyone else interested. At @cha0tic.bsky.social’s funeral today, it was requested that any donations go to the Multiple Sclerosis Society. #thearchers

A reminder of login details for Neil’s funeral, which is just starting now. Known to all of us as Lord Whitmore Reans / cha0tic #thearchers

Not happy about this at all. We all know how bad data centres are for local communities and the environment. They use huge amounts of water and energy. IMO they should not be utilised for frivolous things like this. Am disappointed BlueSky doesn’t see it that way www.theverge.com/ai-artificia...

Why not just tell Miranda the truth? Is it because Brian thinks he knows what she’d say? 🤔 #thearchers

Haven’t done one of these for a while #Badbathrooms Tunbridge Wells, what horrors are these? I expected better of you! 😂

Hundreds of thousands of disabled people will have their benefit almost halved if the government assesses their condition might one day improve. Charities warn the move could cause large-scale hardship, including “destitution.” My report in tomorrow’s Guardian: www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Hope whoever it was is feeling better #thearchers

Just FYI for those unfamiliar with satellite reconnaissance: Spy satellites are maneuverable via on-board thrusters, but only a limited number of times. Rerouting eyes in the sky to image US bases in Saudi Arabia represents a serious commitment on Russia's part to help Iran kill Americans.

#EarthHour 2026 starts this evening at 8.30pm. Will be turning off the electric lights at home. Housemates have agreed to support, which is good 👍 🌍💚 www.earthhour.org/faqs

Well, at least Tony will be getting a good price, won’t he? #thearchers

If my name was Sonnet and I saw this knobber shambling towards me, I’d immediately change my name to Push Off Creep.

They’re prepping a ground operation, I’m pretty sure. Not something they were prepared for at the start but with the Trump administration when you see a buildup like this (MEU and the 82nd) the decision tends to have already been made.

Imagine the lives that could have been saved had we managed to delay the next wave until after our population was vaccinated. Actually, we don’t need to imagine - countries that avoided significant waves until after their populations were vaccinated saw far fewer Covid deaths. 17/19

13.4m Britons, including 4m children, live in relative poverty. Median wage of an employee is around £31,000. Poorest 20% pay higher proportion of income in taxes than the richest 20%. 1% has more wealth than 70% of the population combined. No govt plan for equitable distribution of wealth.

The Americans hit the primary school not once but twice, in two separate attacks about 3 hours apart. 175 killed. Even if an excuse was to emerge for the first of those attacks, what possible excuse could there be for the second one?

Oh, Brian. What a knave and a fool you are. People like Miranda are gold dust. You don’t treat anyone like that, let alone a person like her #thearchers

Oh, cripes #thearchers

Poor old Tony #thearchers

Helen as a neighbour 😆 #thearchers

The key to understanding this is the bit when she says to that MAGA audience, “If you don’t help us, then… “ By ‘help,’ she means money. Donations to whichever of those knobhead organisations is bankrolling her. She’s aboard the gravy train, despicable woman www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

'the overall conclusion is that the scale of deaths in the first wave could have been much lower and the devastating second wave could have been largely avoided' @chrischirp.bsky.social substack.com/home/post/p-...

Theft

Hope that contract has an early break clause 😏 #thearchers

“Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me…” 🎶 😝

Hard to know which is more shocking - the dire warnings of the potential collapse of our food system in the UK or the fact that governments have tried to cover it up. Their complacency is off the scale. We urgently need to switch to growing more food domestically & to restore nature now

@rosenbergj.bsky.social Are you doing ok Judith? Haven’t seen you on here lately

Me, listening to the rankest unfunniest BS comedy pre #thearchers : 😑😑😑

It would be, wouldn’t it? Sigh.

And this.

When should we start panic-buying toilet rolls? Asking for a friend

Interesting listen, but it’s a bit late to say we shouldn’t have got involved news.sky.com/video/trumps...

Interesting that no further quote-posts have occurred since I pointed this out.

Right. This fakeGaza scam. Whenever they set up a new account on here, the perpetrators always link to the same post by Dr Alex Fitzpatrick. They pin it to their new account straightaway before they start their reposting scam. The Fitzpatrick post contains the link to the fraudulent Go Fund Me 1/ 🧵

Listening to #thearchers omnibus and wondering for the first time why the onus is on Helen rather than Tom to be the good neighbour and visit Carol to keep an eye on her. I hope it isn’t because she’s the female. We should be past the ‘caring is women’s work’ trope

Weirdo posts gibberish, then blocks me for saying I don’t understand his post. 🤷‍♀️

Stupid, stupid, stupid, reckless man. This is not the way. It will lead only to greater entrenchment, more death

8/ The time to act is now—coordinated reserves releases & price caps, excess profit taxes, fair rationing protocols. Governments have the tools, hopefully for all they'll act. Full piece with @isabellamweber.bsky.social no paywall at www.newstatesman.com/internationa...

Listening to Radio 4’s “Any Answers?” on catch-up. Lots of shouty people on there today. Even more than usual. It’s their long-suffering spouses I feel sorry for 😏

Trump needs to be removed from office. Where are the checks and balances?

Making Easter plans for the church? In March? Bollocks. Many churches plan their Easter stuff before Xmas #thearchers
