Good time for a picture of a dog I would say. Arlo, in festive repose.

No, YOU’RE a festive dandy.

Got Dad’s tree up. The lights are older than me, and I can barely get my own tree up these days.

Merry Fucking Christmas

The full gambit of faces. Incredible work.

I think alt-text will be the breakout hidden art of Bluesky.

Can you get Crypto on here? Thats when Bluesky will know they’ve arrived.

What was I famous for on Twitter? Old TV clips - especially this unexpectedly bleak advert

An Instagram post from Taylor Swift captioned "I LOVE THE FALL"

Oh yeah? Name twenty-five of their albums.

A man in a SOMBRERO... A man covered just past his waist in a LARGE one, called a MORBRERO... A man covered down to his feet in a VERY large one, called an ALLBRERO. Thus we see language - much like these hats -evolving to accommodate changing needs. Is this a good thing? Much of the time, yes. We didn't NEED the word "selfie" until we NEEDED it. We didn't KNOW we needed the word "shade" to mean something OTHER than "what we get when we stand beneath a very tall man with a wide-brimmed sombrero" until it was introduced as an entirely different word in our lexicon. NOW... what we DON'T need are people turning words like "LITERALLY" into jibberish. You cannot say LITERALLY when you mean fucking FIGURATIVELY. Well, obviously you CAN. But you render language meaningless, & YOU look like a fucking moron. Lke this asshole in the MOREBRERO and the ALLBRERO. Oh, let's face it - the SOMBRERO ain't doing him any favours either. And neither will saying "exspresso" do YOU any favours. Stop it.

Language, like hats, evolves.

Nailed it. Also, is that spray paint in your hand and have you been marking your territory?

Lovely funny things my elderly neighbour, Tina, says…

1. She gyrates in my nerves
2. It’s another bow to your arrow
3. With the best will in China
4. Fed up to the eye teeth
5. Wouldn’t live there with a bargepole
6. There’s no salt without fire
7. I had to bite my teeth
8. A whole kettle of worms

Calm it pigeons. You're not The Beastie Boys.

Echo chambers are my jam right now.

People of the Bluesky, things are a bit quiet on the work front. If you need a writer I’m available. I’ve worked for TV, radio, print, advertising - all the medias. If you need help with a corporate Christmas speech, I can add the Lolz mathew-owen.co.uk RT or whatever it is over here, please, cheers

Just walked the dog. Questioned the weather on the radio this morning which said “brisk breezes on the Kent coast”. I looked up ‘brisk breezes’ in the big book of weather and it says “Blowing an absolute fucking hooley mate,bolt yourself down or you’ll be on your arse”.

So it actually was accurate.

Mad when you see a wasp in late October.
