If you have one of those where you are thoroughly pissed off... St Anger is a perfect thought channelling vibe. That snare hits different.

This is an interesting rabbit hole. I'm very curious to compare this to other countries as well... example: places in Europe that have had extreme heat. Are they already bucking the trend? I also like the data points to back up my grumpiness because it feels too hot.

I've been exploring ways to build stories into my work. I have been playing with Pip Decks and
I really love this resource. It's helped reignite some passion in what I do. Anyone out there used these, what are you thoughts? #storytelling #notmoreboringelearning #engagingpeople

Which processor variant, how's it holding up?

Interesting thread and had similar experiences with an older model. They did, however, offer great service beyond what I would expect from a big player. Would I consider them again, maybe... At present, supporting SMEs feel important, BUT that support shouldn't be unconditional.

Some recent pics from @kkssteel.bsky.social
The amazing Dirtbox Disco which I'd never heard of before, but put a big smile on my face. Jim Jones All Stars, who, in my opinion are one of the best live bands in the UK at present. And of course, the inglorious @wildhearts.bsky.social 3 Stella bands.

Having recently watched Magnum for what I think will be last time, I've got mixed emotions. A fitting tribute to Tony Clarkin and the torrent classic era tracks was pure joy. Also, some sadness, One of the last of breed of great british rock bands.

Gitta Sereney, Albert Speer: His Battle with Truth. Covers a lot on how quite normal people get sweept up and ignore what's in front of their eyes.

The Breakfast Club if she hasn't already seen it. Mine loved it at that age.

Working through my CD collection 4 Aerosmith albums I haven't listened to for a while. Done with mirrors, permanent Vacation, Pump & Get a Grip. I'd forgotten what a good album DWM was. You notice the 80s polish after that point. It has persuaded me to dig out my copy of Live Bootleg at the weekend.

Professor explains how inheritance tax loophole crippled British farming Paul Cheshire says the tax loophole simply created "impoverished millionaires who claimed a need for more support".

Picked this up on X... but it's a good breakdown on the interference tax debate in the UK at the moment on farmland. Who is impacts and, more importantly, who it doesn't? As normal, there is a lot of misinformation in the media on this. www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/profess...

Ok, so I have been trying threads... it's ok... and noticing BSky seems to be now finding its feet. Considering X is a toxic mess, I do not want to use just one platform anymore. Is there a space for both Threads and Blue-sky? What are the user cases for both?
