It doesn't seem to be as bad on Twitter as it was. Maybe Elon is busy working on his new political party!

It's football news that I tend to use Twitter for most these days, and after two pre-season victories so far, it's been ok for that!

A bit like live football on TV, there should only be one place!

Threads is also Instagram, which I do use regularly, and you can auto post an Instagram post to Threads.

Yep. Tried to leave, but seemed like hard work to build any community here and the news/sport accounts don't seem to be as good. I've also got a Threads account.

Sorry, only just seen this.

To be honest, I barely use this app, so only being an hour and a half late is actually quite impressive!

A little bit of Belgium coming back to the UK with me (via France), at a fraction of the price I'd have had to pay at home.

Just €2 at the E.Leclerc hypermarket for this classic Belgian beer.

Brewdog Wingman is more expensive 🀣🀣🀣

What a privilege it was to spend an hour and a half listening to one of my all-time heroes, Michael Palin, being interviewed by Greg James at Crossed Wires Festival at #Sheffield City Hall last night. Wonderful 😊

There are certain subject matters that she's clearly got a strong view on, and she is a tenacious interviewer, but I thought you handled it very well.

@beesononbooze.bsky.social good interview on 5 Live just now, James. Well done getting your point across against Rachel's very one-sided viewpoint!

Dear @bbcmotd.bsky.social, I think David Moyes is happy enough managing Everton.

Bad luck today. I watched it and not quite sure how you didn't win that.

At least you'll not have to put up with VAR again, at least for one more season.

My daughter's been working really hard for many weeks now, revising for her GCSEs.

I feel bad that I'm taking her to Old Trafford tomorrow on an afternoon off from studying.

I fully appreciate that it's not great parenting, but it will make revision feel more enjoyable.

A little reminder to whichever team wins today that a season of VAR sucking the enjoyment out of their football watching awaits next year!

That was a cracking goal from Sheffield United. Premier League quality, you could say.
