We need to be more like Sharjah

Do message boards count as social media though?

And in ancient history @spinesideburn.bsky.social and @ozkanka.bsky.social

Omg yeah like 2 decades ago

It’s going to be 2000-type bad I reckon.

Made excellent friends including @canokar.bsky.social @06jank.bsky.social @jonhenley.bsky.social and of course the one and only @columnist.bsky.social ‘s wife @donnad.bsky.social

Michael Barrymore blocked me after I posted a tweet that didn't mention his name at all, but did include the phrases "balcony", "swimming pool" and "destroyed internally through the rectum".

I was just about to say this very thing. None of that colorful shite, light brown wood for the win

No, it's not. It's all a lie. The blunt truth is across the 1991, 2001, 2011 and 2021 Census *every* ethnic group in the UK has become *less* geographically segregated and *all* groups, majority and minorities, are more likely to interact with people not like them.

oh sure, I wasn't implying the first one was ok. I just didn't address it because others had further up the thread.

Ah but in magical right-wing thinking tax cuts never cost anything. And somehow people fall for it

Thatcher Conservatives, 1983: "To the Labour party you're a black person. To the Conservative party you're a British citizen."

Jenrick Conservatives 2025? "To the Labour party (and vast majority of the public) you're a British citizen. To the Conservatives, you're a black person".

first victims of the Empire us.....

the second one is so typical of us humans. We take a good concept, in this instance "no fat shaming" and distort it to mean "fat is great". I despair.

congratulations by the way, this is amazing

I'd say it's had a reasonable shot though probably not as much as Bristol. There was a debate about renaming Penny Lane of Beatles fame, some thought it was named after a slaveowner called William Penny but apparently it wasn't so the issue was dropped.

that is great, I wish we had something similar. I know UoG has been discussing this year its role in slavery but generally we just sweep it under the carpet.

I don't know if you're aware but you have "rude" as a label on your account

Has it managed to bury its slavery wealth past in the same way my part of the world (West of Scotland) has?

My colleague at UCLA’s son just got hired by Grok to help train it on language. He’s an ex-journalist with an English lit degree

I don’t think he caught it but you never know.

France is a version of FPTP

Appears so

On so many levels. For the recently deceased and also for me :)

Oh look what my dog just brought in and I managed to get out of his mouth. I initially thought it was banana peel but no….

I see that most of the "OMG Javier Milei has performed an economic miracle in Argentina OMG I Heart Maggie" crowd - predictably, since it did the same with Lis Truss - has switched to "tEh PrObLeM iS MiLEi wOz NoT fRee mArKet eNouGh".

How many times must these utter fools fail before they get it?

One more reason to ban America

This whole world of goodies and baddies that people want to believe exist is so juvenile. Immature and ignorant

I wrote a personal piece last week about anti-semitism in Britain in the last two years and how it felt to be Jewish. It was repromoted today, on the anniversary of October 7, five days after an attack on a British synagogue in which two Jews were killed.

This is the immediate reply.

Football?
