Pup is getting too big to curl up on my lap in the pub. Just look at him. He's the Platonic ideal of DOG.

Local pub celebrities. Absolute conversation magnets.

I was toying with the idea of listening to the @coolzonemedia.bsky.social Behind the Bastards episodes on Curtis Yarvin while out running today. It's already drizzly and grey. I don't need to add anger to that mix.

I blinked, and that kid from Radish is in his forties. This is a slice of gorgeous. open.spotify.com/track/4SjmBB...

Went to watch Roller Derby. Didn't understand what the hell was happening. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Me (sedentary, unfit): I ache all time, even when I do the slightest thing! I should exercise more. Me (after a year of dedicated, consistent fitness training): I ache all the time, even when I do the slightest thing! This is great. I feel amazing!

An hour interval sesh this eve. I'm going to die Or throw up Or throw up then die Or be fine, and have a big sense of achievement at the end. Most likely throw up and die

Short? Awful upbringing? Good with languages? Likely to do something misguided?

I'm not a praying man. But.... The engineering here could do us all a favour

“Mr. N’s loneliness could drive him to MAGA if he was inclined to conspiratorial thinking, but a natural inclination to kindness and good food have taken him away from the path of conspiracy.” Be kind. Eat good food. @swordsjew.bsky.social buttondown.com/theswordandt...

For the past week we've been working on the assumption that our little girl on the left is small for a Welsh collie. They've just been for their jabs, and the vet reckons she's fine, and the boy is just going to be an absolute beast. 😄

Any fucking doubts as to who he is now? The biggest loser of a supervillain in history.

47 - "We're drawing away, how shit must you be?" sing the Plymouth Argyle fans against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light... 🐈‍⬛ [0-0] 🟢 #SAFC | #PAFC

These two little knobheads turned up in the house yesterday. 10 week old Welsh Sheepdogs. I'll confess. I'm a little in love.

Today in Milan, a student activist group hung a trash-filled effigy of Musk upside down on a gate outside of piazzale Loreto, where Mussolini's body was displayed in 1945. They left the message: "C'è sempre posto a piazzale Loreto, Elon" (There's always room in piazzale Loreto, Elon)

Fucker needs a brickin'

Town: Our doctors, nurses, teachers etc. can no longer afford to live in our community, we’re proposing to make it easier to build more housing. Residents: NO! —1 year later— Residents: Why’s my favorite restaurant closing? Why do I wait 5 hours at the hospital? Town: 😐

There were no seals off the pier this morning, although the sea looked like glass. Last run around my home town for a while. Might drop by en route to Edinburgh for the Mara in May.

Lost my StepMum suddenly after Xmas. Went to her Funeral today, and my StepBrother in law slid something into my pocket as we walked into the service. My dad's old Zippo. Proper knocked me sideways.

Heavy legged run this morning. But did potter past this cool C16th Bell tower as I passed my old school.

There's worse places to go for a run. Can't believe the "long" walks I used to take my dog on are less than 5k. Had to do a lap of the town walls to make up the distance.

In my hometown. In a hotel that is on the site of the cinema in which I spent my last evening in town. Opposite the pool I learned to swim in. Just down the road from MANY PUBS I've known my whole life. 😄

Just left Monkwearmouth, driving up to Berwick. Infinite Monkey Cage has warped my brain cos I couldn't resist cheering "VENERABLE BEDE!" as we passed the sign for Jarrow. @robinince.bsky.social

Just realised the Hotel thinks we're the worst.

There's worse places to have gone for a run this morning. Paths were too icy, so five laps of Seaburn beach had to do it. SO MANY GOOD DOGS!

Absolutely mental signing for the Championship. Midfield selection going to be a nightmare.

Listened to @iwriteok.bsky.social #bastardspod episodes on T.E. Lawrence. Then listened to Seven Pillars of Wisdom. Then Listened to @jamesbarr.bsky.social "Line in the Sand" Any recommendations on books to understand Syria while I'm embracing the bleak? 😄

Are we sure that border isn't protecting the USA from the North? We all know why the Geneva convention is so detailed... Don't we, Canada?

Am I going to need to wear my trail shoes to run in the snow tomorrow?

I'm one percent man, ninety nine percent Jackfruit Biryani. If you need me, I'll be on the sofa for the foreseeable

While it's lovely that people are embracing Veganuary, they could at least leave some Greggs Vegan sausage rolls for me! Bastards. I'm hungry.

It was so weird when Liz Truss was PM. She had the constant vibe of someone who was certain they're 100% meant to be in that position but simultaneously they feel awkward and out of their depth. It was like when Russell Crowe played Javert.
