Quite remarkable www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand...

Found out last week that an old family friend, via my brother, is now divorced. He worked so very very hard to set up a home, trained, qualified etc. now he has a decent wage and was just settling it’s all in tatters. Amicable and unavoidable

Sense of taste and smell still to return. Still, on the plus side, it means I’m not tasting the blood which appears to be continuously streaming from my nasal cavities down my throat. Happy Sunday everyone lol

What’s the betting, Trump allows TikTok to resume, as long as it reflects his political insanity?

@toa5tnz.bsky.social is that you? My antipodean, beer obsessed brother from another mother? Been a long long time

Interesting feedback on ChatGPT last night. It can be used to mark subjects like History and Geography previous papers. Tell it the board, paper and questions and it uses the marking scheme. Checked by teachers, on average add a mark and it’s right. Good to know

My hero

I hope all of this is being documented in a way that whatever aliens find our dead planet can use.

Among the drams listed on this astronomical Fife Arms bar bill were fifteen 25 ml glasses of Balvenie 50-year-old at £4,500 each (total cost £67,500) and ten 25 ml glasses of 1940s Laphroaig at £4,000 each (total cost £40,000). Without these extravagances, the bill would have been £107,500 lower. 🥃🤯

Shrinking is so beautifully written. How many folk does it take to get such a perfect balance?

Good morning sanity

Just about survived Christmas. Just about

Happy Wednesday

Given the state of American education you can only assume this is the final push to divide the country into a drone work force and everyone else

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired. History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them. Signed, a physicist

I find mushrooms scary en masse.

Off for blood tests. Don’t get old folks!!

4th December 2024. The 4th of 24 Die Hard related posts. Fox were unsure on how to market the film, believing funny TV show Bruce wouldn’t sell an action movie. Two weeks after a massive successful opening, Fox decided to put Bruce Willis’ face back on the poster. #diehard

@maxkinnings.bsky.social how you doing Max? Busy?

Having to tell my youngest to avoid the news, to not worry about the way the world is, goes against everything I believe in. I have to, he’s an emotional soul and in the midst of GCSEs. He needs hope, a future.

If you’re making a film with a female assassin, pleeaase if she’s going to be doing martial arts against a 6’2” guy who’s a wall of muscle at least find something to give her an edge

Mr Monk can’t die

It's not just the best film version, it's better than the original text because Scrooge ends up sitting down with Bob and not his awful relatives. Dickens must be kicking himself for getting it so wrong, and not including singing fruit.

You can’t tell me Tescos can’t afford the NI and minimum wage changes. Pay 1% less dividend maybe

Begs the question - why wasn’t Britain working before when they hived off all the profit and didn’t invest in their businesses.

💥 58% of those questioned say trade with Europe ‘is the most important market’. 💥 51% see the EU as their preferred alignment for foreign policy. 💥 56% see the EU as ‘better for the UK economically’ than the US. 💥 Only 27% say the US should be treated as the prominent partner. #RejoinEU 🇬🇧 🇪🇺
