My husband @duncanc.bsky.social wrote "War Plan UK", back in 1982, about UK Cold War stuff.

Today, it went on sale as an ebook. Not just on Amazon, it's available on loads of other ebook platforms too.

The only "media" he has "done" for this is a Youtube video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=6T83...

I figured out what I needed to make to replace the zip pull on my hoodie.

It's a tiny piece of hope, something I can hold on to.

When I lift up my hope it brings me comfort, even if that is just to zip up my jacket.

In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Self-ID for left handed to be ended.

Will now require a ten year wait and the opinion of three psychologists.

Firstline treatments to include breaking all the fingers on the left hand with a mallet.

NHS to offer sinister hand amputation to persistent cases.

It's the first day of Advent, so it's time to play #SantageddonBingo; it's like Whamageddon, but more fun. Rules are simple, any time you hear one of these songs playing in the shops of whatever (listening to it yourself doesn't count), cross it off, see how long it takes you to get five in a line.

Loving today's news that the mysterious "fedora man" outside the Louvre heist was actually a 15-year-old museum visitor who dresses like a 1940s French detective all the time, just because. apnews.com/article/louv...

Remember Rev. David Black, the Chicago pastor who was shot in the head with pepper balls? If you haven't heard him speak yet, listen to this.

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

@bechillcomedian.bsky.social Are you up for a tooth purchase today? I'm coming to your show this evening.

One real adult tooth (mine). I got the dentist to put it in a pouch thingy and it's been sat on my shelf for a while, then I listened to A Problem Squared 115 & remembered you collect 'em.

I have been listening to some early-era episodes of The Bugle - and I am amused to see that North Korea now has water slides supposedly for the use of more people than just their dear Leader.
