"I didn't wake up one day and vote on whether I was gay or straight." Referee Mikey Connor is dismayed by people describing the Rainbow Laces campaign as 'political.'

What if a footballer came out as gay. Excellent story for attitude magazine from @iaindale.bsky.social www.iaindale.com/articles/old...

Dearie dearie me!

I hope @mrjamesob.bsky.social spends an hour mulling over the Gregg Wallace affair. I think he wrecked his only chance in redeeming himself with his shocking statement on Instagram.

Is Gregg Wallace just trying to dig a deeper hole for himself. Astonishing! Another example of abuse of power? youtu.be/m7uD_PAS5Cc?...

Nice to see Ali Miraj has joined Bluesky. Always enjoy him on @lbc.co.uk @alimiraj.bsky.social

Beautiful blue sky!

lost track of the number of journalists writing that farmers will get hit with IHT above a £1m threshold *for their entire estate* ignoring the reality that it’s £1m of land per person on top of existing IHT threshold of up to £1m (£3m max) feels like a major comms failure by government as well

Quite a rare phenomenon in Sunny Bournemouth 😉

Always well worth a listen!

Beautiful day on the Talbot heath nature reserve, in sunny Bournemouth.

Sublime.

I'm normally with @LBC or Radio 4 in the morning but I'm sure she will be missed. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Ping! An alert just popped up on my Mac, warning me that the amount of storage available in Dropbox “has been reduced”. I think I’m going to be okay with what I have remaining…?

At last...the excellent @dominicwaghorn.bsky.social is among us. You should definitely follow him.

A good resource from @james.crid.land for any radio station and their branding and presence on Bluesky. james.cridland.net/blog/

My radio trends newsletter this week asks for radio stations to get their branding right on Bluesky. Apart from anything else, it'll be easier to read out. It also has a picture of a Bluesky. But can you guess the country? Without reading the alt text. james.cridland.net/blog/2024/bl...

"Everyone else has to pay inheritance tax if they're over the threshold. Why not farmers?" @tomswarbrick.bsky.social headed down to the farmers' protest in London.

This put a smile on my face, during the last hour of James O'Brien's show on Scams.

Amid the sadness at the death of my former colleague Howard Hughes it’s appropriate his life was celebrated on radio, the medium he loved. With the fragmentation of the industry I feared his passing may not be recorded on the many stations where he appeared. He didn’t work on @TimesRadio but thanks.

Very sad to hear the news that Howard Hughes has died. A lovely man with a fantastic voice. Very fond memories of him at LBC/IRN in the 80s and 90s. We spoke a lot on Facebook more recently and it's come as a real shock. RIP Howard.

I helped train Howard Hughes when he joined Radio City (Liverpool) and later worked with him at IRN. He was a natural broadcaster who truly loved radio. When he read a bulletin you stopped to listen. Clear and authoritative, but also warm and accessible. Modern-day newsreaders take note. RIP Howie.
