Mismatch: Bumble vs the men’s rights activists

I spent my weekend working on this great ep of the @theobserveruk.bsky.social Slow Newscast reported by @paticlarke.bsky.social & produced by Jonathan Lewis. As a freelancer, I'm not sure if I have to remain neutral but I'm taking the risk to say those men's rights guys are sad little whiney babies.

He never passes up an opportunity to be a dick. He just reinforces any snowflakey gammony grievance he comes across.

Ah, @talkingpicturestv.bsky.social *and* @sohobites.bsky.social! Now there's a super-hero team-up any serious film fan should be excited about.

It's deranged. Completely demented, rambling, repetitive, irrelevant, fantastical... Surely, SURELY there'll be a move now to invoke the 25th amendment!

I'm currently rewatching a lot of Bob Hoskins' work and rediscovering just how incredibly good he was as an actor and cinematic lead. This podcast on "Mona Lisa" is the perfect partner to rewatching the film. Informative and fascinating!

Killing time: Part 1

I spent last weekend working on this for @theobserveruk.bsky.social. Quite a difficult listen but well worth it.

My boy Gianni: Infantino and Trump

I worked on this over the weekend.

Episode 185 - Miranda (1948)

I'm a guest on this episode of #ReelBritannia podcast. It's worth a listen if only to hear Glynis Johns referring to her "buzzy" on several occasions.

It's 6:30am & I'm about to set off from Greenwich with my chum Stephen Ventura to #whitstable. Please visit dal2pjun25.enthuse.com/pf/dominic-d... to help me raise money for The Anthony Nolan Trust - in a couple of weeks I'll be cycling to Paris and I'm definitely too old for this. #DoItForDaniel

North Korea's war in Europe The Slow Newscast · Episode

Please consider chucking some money at the charity via the sponsorship page: dal2pjun25.enthuse.com/pf/dominic-d... and I'd be really grateful if you could share the link with friends, family colleagues etc. I'm just over half way to my target... #DoItForDaniel 3/3

Well I called him nephew - I think technically he was my second cousin - in any case he was only 16 years old ffs. 2/3

THREAD: Today I did my first long training ride for my sponsored cycle to Paris in June. 76km in about four hours which seems decent. I'm raising money for @anthonynolan.bsky.social after my nephew, Daniel died of Leukemia last year 1/3

I'm quite relieved to be honest. On first glance I thought it was the announcement of a Kajagoogoo reunion.

The $Trumpcon Days before his second inauguration, Donald Trump launched his own cryptocurrency, a memecoin known as $TRUMP. It’s one of his most profitable business ventures to date. But his conversion to crypto h...

I can't work out who I dislike the most - Delores Umbrage, Elon Musk or Kirsty & bloody Phil.

Elon Musk calls for Nigel Farage to be replaced as Reform UK leader Nigel Farage claims Musk's call is due to a disagreement support for far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

Much lolz.

Don't forget - tomorrow is Eat The Same Dinner As Everybody Else And Take A Picture Of It day.

Nice to see a trailer that flies in the face of the current trend of giving away the whole plot. Also, who doesn't love Danny Boyle?

YouTube video by The Irish Rovers - Topic Christmas in Killarney

Deep sympathy for all the shop & cafe workers who have to endure their company's corporate Christmas playlists from October onwards. I just left Starbucks at Tower Bridge after hearing this bloody awful song. It was the straw that broke the poor camel's back. The staff don't have that freedom.

Very good thread about the "farmers".
