Stop! You Americans posting incessantly about your blasted government. No relief on Bluesky for an old Irish woman living in Uk. May return to X not that anyone here will mind or indeed notice.

And to think our Foreign Secretary is fraternising with him! Thought Lammy was a genuine lefty. How wrong I was!

Donโ€™t need or fancy a moth girl. Too tired, too old, too femaley. But thanks anyway. I prefer dreams of how many mistakes Iโ€™ve made in my long life and why. Donโ€™t actually prefer them but itโ€™s what Iโ€™m given. All down to Freud. If only he hadnโ€™t written the book on dream. interpretation.

I would employ a companion, possibly male who knows his way around. I world provide the good car and pay him well. Tasks: to take me to sightseeing in foreign countries- Iโ€™ll probably need a wheelchair for part of the trips. Iโ€™m seeking someone now, I can afford him/her for a year or two. Iโ€™m 86.

Belated thanks for the explanation. So a standard deviation is 15 above or below the average. Think Iโ€™ve got it.

Oh dear. Sounds of hopelessness and despair. Affects us all wherever we live but must be a lot worse for you Americans living the nightmare. But things will get better when the rest of the world wakes up.

Know how you feel. All I can say is no matter what you write about, no one will give a damn! Iโ€™ve been posting stuff here for months which just disappears into the ether, or somewheres. Unless itโ€™s American politics we donโ€™t stand a chance at recognition.

A small town in England decided not to have its New Year's Eve fireworks so that Thor, an arctic walrus resting in the harbor, could sleep peacefully. This kind gesture allowed him to relax before continuing his journey to Iceland.

Plot twist- he just came for the fireworks. He left disappointedโ€ฆ.

Two bees or not two bees? That is the question. I think itโ€™s two bees on my sunflower plant which Iโ€™ve grown from bird feed. Next year - if the Lord spares me , Iโ€™ll have a whole garden full of sunflowers.

If only. Iโ€™m old, still seeking the benefits but donโ€™t really fancy turning into limestone. Bad enough turning into a grouchy bent-over old hag soon. Sans teeth, sans hearing, sans mobility. What did Shakespeare actually say?

Mow the lawn, if you have one. Place clothes in the washing machine, if you have one. Stack dishes in the dishwasher, if you have one. Wash the car, if you have one. Tidy spare room, if you have one. Work on the computer, if you have one. Watch tv if you have one. Otherwise, do you have a gun?

Iโ€™ve given up driving today. For good. Iโ€™m sad. I had other ideas. Insurance was the problem. Car write off. Smashed by fuckinโ€™ Deliveroo scooter rider. ยฃ2.500 to insure new car. I quit. Iโ€™m old. Iโ€™m depressed. Another loss. Does anyone care?

I live in the most unfashionable part of east London, Chadwell Heath but I like it here.Alexa has a problem with our area; every day she predicts storms and tempests as poor Lear suffered on his blasted heath. It doesnโ€™t happen. Weโ€™ve hardly had a piss bucket of rain in the our area since February.

I did statistics in my sociology degree, commonly referred to as sadistics. Now Iโ€™ve forgotten what a standard deviation is. Please explain.

Iโ€™m convinced he is 1-2 standard deviations below the IQ norm. The norm is 100 so his IQ is between 70-85. I believe many of his followers fall in the same range which is why they identify with him. They have the same crass language and inability to articulate, well, pretty much anything.
