AI's impression of Keir Starmer at war.

Goodbye Blue Sky by Pink Floyd It's ok, I'm not leaving, I just like the song. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0v0...

X is getting worse and the right feel completely vindicated now that Trump has been inaugurated. At some point I really need to stop using it, it's just weaning myself off it that is difficult.

A man in a pub kept on sitting down really fast and then laughing. He kept on doing this. Sitting down very fast and laughing. I asked him "Why do you keep sitting down really fast and then laughing?" He replied: "You can't get better than a quick sit titter.."

I like these old videos about the UK. youtu.be/qs_UUdpsjMc?...

I sometimes think that the world has gone slightly mad on X/Twitter. There seems to be a constant undertone of wanting to overthrow the democratically elected Government and now Elon Musk is throwing his weight about. Maybe he should stick to South African politics.

Ok. Musk is insane. An out-of-control lunatic ketamine-soaked billionaire in charge of the White House with a feverish grudge against our govt and Starmer in particular. Reform and the Tories disgrace themselves by their fawning, unpatriotic and dangerous association with him.

RIP Jimmy Carter - you were a deeply good man. ❤️

How X works for Blue Tick accounts: Post tenuous opinion about Who is best (when they are obviously not the best) and sit back and wait for the engagement money to roll in.

Happy Christmas!

While people on X want to "Call a General Election" (trending), I wonder what their thoughts on "Calling a new referendum on re-joining Europe?" No? No, I didn't think they'd like that.. To paraphrase Paul Joseph Watson "It's ok when we do it".

Our Xmas Tree. It was a bit of a bargain - £135 off..

One good thing that I have noticed about Blue sky is that you don't get inundated with inane posts about chemtrails. Maybe that's why they call it Blue Sky? It's a good enough reason to post here anyway..

I find the chap on this YouTube channel explains the history of farming and issues with modern day farming quite well. Here he is talking about the arguments about bovaer use. youtu.be/QO4JpG-XGa4

If anyone is wondering how wind power generation holds up in a storm... Three Quarters of UK power generation is currently wind power alone. There's so much renewable power online that the UK is currently exporting electricity to Denmark and even Norway

This is what happened to someone defending the use of Bovaer on X earlier..

Does anyone else think that James May would make a good replacement for Gregg Wallace on Masterchef? It is unlikely, but I think he'd be a good choice.

The good thing about football being on Amazon is that they don't charge you 20 quid extra per month for the privilege of watching it, unlike Sky.

The reaction of people on Twitter/X to any new technology or medical or environmental breakthrough.

Twitter/X has just become a platform for extremists and mentalists. They completely disregard democracy most of the time now too.

Genius 😂

Before social media (or the internet) we didn't have people signing petitions to overthrow the current Government. We just had people writing letters to Newspapers in green ink. If there were petitions, they were frivolous like the ones we get these days, to name boats Boaty McBoatFace etc..

I for one am amazed that Keir Starmer, five months after winning a 170 seat majority, has not called a fresh election after acceding to a random petition. Shameful stuff. www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/keir-s...

Calling Blue Sky Bsky, always makes me think of BSKYB. Which came about when BSB, merged with Sky. They were the ones with the Square dishes which were about when Satellite TV was launched in the UK. Quite short lived as it turns out.
