Ask your doctor if explaining to me what I just said is right for you.

Yes! Such a lot of effort for so much meh.

Victoria Wood - Swim the Channel YouTube video by transmissionends64

It’s ten years since we lost one of the finest we ever had.

Victoria Wood was wonderful. Seeing a funny clever woman writing and performing each week on my TV was hugely inspiring for me.

CHANCE: You qualify for the World Cup but Donald Trump declares war on you to distract people from the Epstein files. Miss a turn.

The sun popped out just in time to say au revoir.

I'm in Marrakech, where it's sixteen degrees and cloudy. Can I borrow your jacket?

My daughter has written a pretty astonishing short story/novella. Well I was astonished.

Who's out there and looking to publish LGBTQ+ dystopia fiction? Bluesky seems the kind of place to ask, and I have no idea about this stuff.

As someone who can't see properly in situations that demand the non-wearing of glasses – for example, in a shower – I absolutely endorse this message.
(Also currently in Morocco in my sixth or seventh hotel in just over a week, so ... yeah.)

If I was Iran I'd set up a website counter tracking how much money was coming in from tolls with a large "THANK YOU PRESIDENT TRUMP" next to the total and maybe a couple of Ayatollahs doing thumbs up.

"What can Democrats do?"

When the South Korean president attempted to declare martial law, South Korean lawmakers literally fought through tanks and military forces and climbed fences to get into their Parliament building to stop him.

Basically what Trump said.

Hildegard Von Bingen at a small chapel in the Palatinate of the Rhine around 1140. Absolutely wailing, real soul stuff

Yes! We did a pottery workshop this morning and then spent the afternoon in the medina. So many amazing smells!

Hey @loudbasket.bsky.social I found you a cracking #70swall in Morocco!

Just been approached by Huel to see if I'll be part of their paid influencer campaign. I don't think they're quite across what I do for a living. (FWIW, and in the interests of having influence, I regard Huel as a soul destroying, miserable product and the death of all that is worth living for.)

He keeps saying '25y ago', imagine if a country in NATO had invoked the 'please help' article almost exactly 25y ago & NATO had indeed dropped everything to help, I wonder what country that could hypothetically be.
