I have some subtle poppy cufflinks I've worn today and will wear tomorrow, as "in office" so will wear an appropriate shirt. Nothing else, just the shirt ๐Ÿ˜‚

Trump dodged the chance to โ€œstep up and help the USAโ€ in his youth and never lifts a finger unless he benefits financially yet here he is berating air traffic controllers as workshy traitors because they wouldnโ€™t work after he hinted there might not be back pay after the shut down.

I send you one every so often. If you eventually get on you'll see loads from me saying "Is this working yet?" ๐Ÿ˜‚

I think you must log on via an app key rather than your main password. You could reach out to BlueSky support, I'm sure they would clear it up. x

A gorilla on a pole approx 8ft in the air. It was clad in a suit of chainmail with a union jack draped around it. It is now wearing a giant banana costume.

@ursh.bsky.social my complaint about the flag clad gorilla seems to have worked.... partially anyway!

The @bbcnews-uk-rss.bsky.social know what theyโ€™re doing.

Itโ€™s very sad but once respected, through diligence and the search of the truth now lies in tatters.

The BBC cannot be trusted when it comes to news. Omissions that donโ€™t suit the agenda, disproportionate support for fascist parties.

Tonight for fun, I dismantled a 4Tb hard drive. It had 5 platters instead of the 4 I assumed it would have.
