Trying to write, got an unpublished novel, The Errand Boy all ready to go. Got some poetry under my belt, gone sober in Jan 2023. Ran a few marathons. Live in a lovely part of Yorkshire. No fascists, billionaires, s*x bots, A.I.s, DMs or politics.

I came to Bluesky because X (not twitter) had degenerated into a right-wing / fascist hell.
From 20 Jan 2025 there will be no American politics on my timeline. I gave it 8 years, it gave me anxiety and disappointment. You let in the clown, he brought the circus.
Follow / unfollow, up to you.

I'd go. I mean...it was the first film I ever saw at the cinema😅

Perfect addition to my #Spookyseason oeuvre. Resident Evil: Retribution, no 5 in the action horror series. Nonsense filled with zombies, and incredibly flexible women in mild bondage gear, toting big guns but no gender agenda baggage. All good fun. #Filmsky

They'll get dusty and possibly scratched if it's a cut glass one.

Accent that is.

I beg to differ, the great question of the age, for a civilised society, is....is it jam or cream first on a scone?

Every American podcast I listen to they all come out with that pointless platitude. It's symptomatic of the shallowness of the social media influencer culture
(Oops sorry, meant to be light-hearted and I was suddenly rent asunder with a burning need to vent)

Season 5, conclusion of Angel, from end of the 90s, is a great season. The last 2 episodes especially so, given state of America. It highlights champions don't become heroes until they are willing to fight for right, even when odds are against them (timely, allegory)

Season 5 of Angel dvd. Includes a corrupt US senator who has sold her soul for power. Sound familiar?

I dragged myself to Specsavers, announced to the woman that I had a couple of screws loose, could she help.
She looked at me in my running gear and took my glasses.
She did a great job tightning my glasses, not sure about the loose screws.
Better go running.

Tighten those glasses, thank you Specsavers

I am afraid so but at least we are alert to it now.

The first part. And the second part can be true.
