In other news- Billy was a mountain Ethel was a tree growing off of his shoulder

The UK is going to have to make a choice. Do we stand with Ukraine and Europe? Or are we with Trump's America and Putin's Russia? That's what it comes down to. We must choose Europe.

Finally!

My heart swells with desperate hope as one by one the head of every country in Europe expresses their revulsion of Trump, and their support for Ukraine. Every country in Europe (at 21:51) except one. FFS Starmer, you utterly sicken me, and shame Britain by remaining silent.

R.I.P. N.A.T.O. 1949 - 2025

Obama and Biden may think they are honoring the office of the presidency by keeping quiet at a moment like this — if so that’s just preening vanity — they owe it to the office and to the Republic that until last month it served to speak up loudly and clearly and without relent.

Trump and Vance would NEVER, EVER, talk to Putin like that. And everyone knows it.

Let's get one thing straight right now. President Zelensky is a hero. Donald Trump isn't fit to shine his shoes.

This, from the Guardian US, was published at 11.00 GMT, when I checked the Guardian again at 12.55 it had already gone. They don't leave anything critical of transphobia up for very long. Unless you saw it in that 1h 55m window, you need to go two layers through the Opinion Section to find it.

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

LLMs like ChapGPT don't know anything. They don't have knowledge. So if you ask them anything you then have to properly check the answer. So you might as well just...start by...getting the answer yourself using proper research, save some time.

@thistledownway.bsky.social and I are off to Formby today for a potter about in the early Spring sunshine. I'll do the joke, so you don't have to bother - "eee, it turned out nice again"

SDE would like to make more friends on Bluesky 😀, so with that in mind, we're giving away one of these fantastic #NikKershaw box sets! 10CDs and a DVD! Please like and share and we'll pick a random winner in a week's time, on 28 Feb. Open to everyone! Good luck...

New HD scan of Pink Floyd's "Live at Pompeii" coming to cinemas (and hopefully 4K disc) ❤️

I'm definitely not a Monarchist (Vive La Révolution!), but even so, I really struggle with picturing King Charles being the Monarch. Whenever the press fawn over him my brain just pictures this -

"If the GOP could pull Trump’s dick out of their mouths long enough for the oxygen to return to their brains, they might see how batshit crazy it is to run a govt like this... But that would require a spine and these Republicans have the collective courage of a baby deer caught in a 6-lane highway."

RIP 😭

I'm having tea with Graham Greene, in the coloured costume of my choice

Happy #twinpeaksday to all that celebrate

Well what do you know. Reform UK's former leader in Wales has just been accused in court of accepting bribes in exchange for making statements in the European Parliament that would benefit Russia. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Morning @mrjamesob.bsky.social Here's an interesting view of the German elections from the marvelous Henning Wehn posted earlier on the hell-site 🤨

Heard rumours that rather than regenerating, the pope's death will see the Catholic church cancelled to give the religion "a rest" while they look at alternate streaming and delivery options. Apparently Disney have shown interest.

Another week, another new book to read. The first of the Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells. Not read this before, so I'm just taking a punt and trying it. #booksky #💙📚

HAHAHAHAHA. Just pray. Sure that’ll manifest a visa. Oh, How silly of me! We all know that praying only *stops* things. Such as justice for historical rape victims, women having the right to bodily autonomy and kids being safe in churches, it doesn’t *create* them.

Here's one of the warnings I gave in an article before the US election. It's devastating to see it all happening. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

When people ask me what music I like instead of defaulting to "a bit of everything really" I'm going to say "music where an alarm can be going off for a whole minute before I realise it's not part of the song"

Just received our first copy of @bylinetimes.bsky.social

There's a rumour that Nigel Farage is keeping his head down because he's off to a Trump cheerleading conference over the weekend. I’m afraid I’m being proved right- Farage is far more interested in Trump's success than British security. He is a bootlicker and a plastic patriot.

Well, I have managed to avoid going back to Facebook. After you close your account FB keeps it alive for a month to allow you to crack and re-open it. Today is the day that my account will actually be killed. RIP Facebook 🪦

Happy 40th Birthday to this behemoth of an album

@davidbrunt.bsky.social - Your Sarah Jane casting story is covered here, in some depth. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTfF...

Happy Birthday Yoko Ono ❤️ . .. ...

democrats won’t admit it, but my family’s economic outlook has gotten a LOT better since Trump took office. but what do i know? i don’t have a fancy economics degree, i’m just a regular guy who runs an airplane scrapyard

Don't post AI slop. And if you repost by mistake, as I've done, delete it. When you have something to say and attach AI art, you're undercutting your message and hurting artists. Pay or barter for art. There's a reason good things cost money and take time. AI art is harmful and it looks like ass.

I'll say it again. Ditch WhatsApp and use Signal. If you wanted any more proof that its great: Elon Hates It.

I remember when I believed social media was going to bring more freedom - turned out it has empowered the far right and made the former left terrified of not pleasing bigots - we are in a 2000AD comic strip

Currently doing the tedious job of downloading all my kindle books to my computer to create a permanent back-up. Amazon are going to remove the ability to download your books to a computer next week, and you'll only be allowed to put them on your kindle.

Sounds like a plan

What an international embarrassment our government of frauds and grifters is.

A Katsu Chicken curry from scratch, and a vase of flowers. I love you, @thistledownway.bsky.social ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Happy Valentines Day ♥️
