Slight or moderate, occasionally rough. Showers. Good.

The only surefire way to stop oligarchs buying up the things we love is to drop those things the moment oligarchs buy them & that requires changing habits and massive self-discipline.
It means going to alternatives that might not be quite as good or convenient.
It’s really hard. But there it is.

Honoured to receive a mayoral award this weekend for protecting green spaces and rights of way across Pencoed. I’m really grateful to all Trailblazers volunteers who make this possible 💚💚. #Pencoed #OpenSpaces.

This aged well.
Will Australia need the extra half-hour, do you think?

It's just not fair when the bowler is allowed to take catches too. Like having an extra fielder on the field! Morally wrong.

If you were to buy a 10 track album via Bandcamp for £13. Post fees, for the artist, that's the equivalent of streaming all 10 tracks, on Spotify, every day, for a year
But Spotify would pay the artist £0, as 365 streams per track doesn't reach their threshold of 1,000
So, you know, go to Bandcamp

England looked clueless and demoralised. The fielding was shocking, Jacks's spectacular catch excepted. Either they didn't have a plan, or they did but it was shite. Four days play and, unless something extraordinary happens, the Ashes are gone already.

How is Steve Smith not dehydrated? He spits every few seconds. He must be standing in a puddle of his own drool at slip.

Scottish friends! I'm looking for a voice actor (roughly 30-40 years old, female) for an unannounced game✨
You definitely don't need to be an established actor, but you must be UK based with your own recording equipment.
This is a paid role, DM for brief! #voiceacting

I'm about to tuck into a bit of Peruvian. Which film uses that term, as well as dust, bat food, snow, powder, the snortable, the Charlie, the expensive, the class A fucking narcotics - and fucking cocaine? #FilmQuiz

Sorry, but I find the expression "Merry Christmas" offensive. "Happy Holidays" is also unacceptable. The same goes for "Good Morning" or "Hello" or any type of greeting, or even eye contact, before lunchtime. Or at any time.

As per fucking usual. Cops lie. Press lie. MPs lie. Families campaign in pain and anger. The truth comes out and no one, NO ONE gets punished no cops go to jail. Again and again and again it’s the same story but what is wrong with the justice system? Too many jury trials.

My most used words on here this year. You're on there, @mattflipflop.bsky.social, and so is @rejunevate.bsky.social, so I must chat with you often. But I don't seem to have mentioned @variola13.bsky.social, even though I interact with you the most (fnarr, fnarr). Freddy the dog gets a mention, too.
