A reminder that more people are employed in the yoga industry than there are registered fishers working in the UK.

The first time I remember watching the FA Cup final was in 1990 when Ian Wright's Crystal Palace lost to Manchester United. It's taken them 35 years but they've finally won it. 🔴🔵🔴🔵🔴🔵

I love the idea of the caledonian sleeper, but it just leaves Edinburgh/Glasgow too late and arrives in London too early. I want 10 hours on board minimum, to make sure I get a decent sleep. It really should park up in a siding near Birmingham for a few hours so the journey isn't so quick.

Hard to disagree with any of this excellent thread.

I took my (30 month old) son to football training today for the very first time. He just looked utterly bemused & kept just up picking up the ball & refusing to put it back down again. I feel you son I really do.

We stay winning. We've successfully found the most strategically brain dead idea in UK politics, everyone else can give up and go home.

What's the best way to set up a savings account for my (2 year old) son so that when he's an adult he can maybe afford to do the uni course he wants & a wee deposit on a flat, but protect him from the temptation to blow it all on booze and drugs like I probably would have at that age?

Finished my first official four day week. It's only taken me twenty five years in the workforce but I'm finally part time! My long quiet retirement begins... 😂

Yesterday's playoff semi between Sunderland and Coventry was the first time I felt football discourse was alive and well on this app like it used to be on old twitter... Bluesky just needs to start group live commentary of Grand Designs now too, and then the good old days really will be here again.

I was today years old when I found out the university of Bolton is now called the university of Greater Manchester... I didn't realise it was possible for a university to catfish until right now. Damn.

Starmer is simultaneously detoxifying Reform and toxifying the Labour Party. I ask again, what is he playing at?

The Pogues were properly brilliant in Glasgow last night... I've never seen a (very large) group of musicians look like they were enjoying it so much as they were. I counted twenty musicians on stage at the end, so I'm very much guessing they were in it for the love of it and not the money!

Fuck, and I say this most politely, off.

I think this is largely a function of them being trapped by the fiscal situation. They can't fix anything so trying to blame others. It won't work any better than it did for the Tories.

Back in the warm embrace of the Scotia bar in Glasgow, it's moments like this that I wouldn't rather be anywhere else in the World.

Back in the southside of Glasgow (as tonight we're off to watch the Pogues)... I've missed this sexy little corner of the World.

People voted for change and the hope that there could at least be a positive narrative of the country's future. Not yet another government telling us we need to take our medicine and offering only further managed decline. Ceding the ground of 'change and hope' to the snake oil merchants of Reform.

What is the point of being in power if you're so obsessed with polling you just do what your opponent wants? All you do is alienate your supporters, and set the ground for your opponent to get onto power anyway. Labour could've been making life better, they should've been leading, not following.

Labour had a huge majority and didn't have to worry about going back to the country for 5 years. The tough, but right decisions would've been to reverse Hunt's NI cuts, smooth trade with Europe, invest in infrastructure, build houses & improve public services. Not chase Reform down a blind alley.

Where is the hope, aspiration or plan to make things better from this Labour party? Saying to our young 'no university and jobs in the creative industries for you, a lifetime in low-paid back-breaking care work awaits' is less 'things can only get better' and more 'things can only get shitter'.

I've got tickets for King Creosote next week. I adore his music but it seems he's fallen down a horrid conspiracist rabbit hole. He's obviously entitled to his views & his platform to espouse them, I just don't know that I would feel comfortable hearing him literally singing Alex Jones' praises.

I just find this so sad. I really hope Kenny finds his way back to sanity again.

@aidanjohnmoffat.bsky.social oh Aidan, I just read the sad news that King Creosote seems to have become the protagonist in 'Turn off the light'. archive.is/2025.05.03-1... Thank you for writing the song that captures the tragedy of people falling down these holes so perfectly.
