There are a lot of fake accounts on @bsky.app

Social Media can be very labour intensive.
My grandmother was in the mental health unit of this NHS hospital.

She would constantly escape and police would pick her up walking in the middle of the motorway.

Staff did not secure her bed, she fell off and died of a blood clot to the brain.

We were out and about today and I didn't see many people wear a poppy. Over the past week I didn't notice any volunteers in stores like I normally do.
Well, orange man baby Trump [the convicted felon, sexual abuser, pathological liar, alleged pedophile and 2 year old having constant tantrums] has been busy spewing hate in between his naps, looking like he don’t give a toss when someone faints in his office and humiliated by booing at an NFL match.
Usually a media org could be banned for a limited period or not included in the press pool but legal action is nonsense because non-authoritarian governments should want to promote the idea of a free press. Trump is just being a child with a tantrum as usual, there are bigger issues to focus on.
Trump threatens to take legal action against a lot of people and organisations but I believe he does it to intimidate in order to make himself look better or the strong man. When I worked in a government Press Office there are ways of handling this situation and ways not to handle it.
Just finished watching Washington Black, one my top 10 series for 2025.

Will definitely pick up the book, the author was born in Calgary but now lives here in BC I believe.
Washington Black on Disney+ is an outstanding watch; I hope it encourages people to read Esi Edugyan's novel, as well. #WashingtonBlack #EsiEdugyan
One humiliation after another for Trump this past week. Undoubtedly more to come unless he steps down.
Trump getting booed at the Commanders game
Rupert Lowe is an extremely vile “politician”, so are his anon followers on social media. Musk is enabling many bad actors, bots and the far right to manipulate British politics attempting to push his fascist agenda. Voters need to consider what Lowe and Musks hate and bigotry mean for the country.
A busy day for Rupert Lowe MP!
☕ Morning: “anti-white racism”
🕛 Lunch: dehumanising refugees
🌇 Evening: xenophobia and calls for the death penalty

Hate and outrage — all before bedtime.
At least we’re aligned on Digital ID… small mercies.
What is bordering on insanity?
Mexico and Canada.

Not my joke, my husband remembered it from some time ago.
This is the third Poppy I've got through. I think the first two fell off me when I was out shopping.
I’m sad for the US that they voted for someone with so much hate in his heart.

At least Trump is one person we can aim not to emulate.

It’s more stressful to hate than to love.
The smallest man in the world.
Lets dance... 🕺🎶
Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

There is a lot of LGBTQ+ shows on Asian networks such as iQiyi, GagaOOLala and others spanning South Korea, Thailand, China and Japan.
The most deprived areas in England, statistics released by the UK government on 30th October.

Its worth tracking back who the MPs are for the worst of those areas.

This sounds like a really positive development. I wonder if Canada would consider doing this?
-Top UK mobile carriers will block spoofed phone numbers starting next year
-Six telcos to participate
-Network upgrades underway
-Telcos will mark calls coming from abroad to prevent scams
-Also roll out "advanced call tracing technology" to let police hunt down scammers

Scammers who fake their numbers to trick the public out of their cash will be exposed in a major upgrade of mobile networks.

The convicted felon, sexual abuser, pathological liar and alleged pedo, totally christian "President Trump" of course, is most likely talking to his base to try to justify he is a champion for them, which he is not.
I remember my phone number from 1966 like it was yesterday.

I always forget my current phone number and have to carry a business card to remind me.

Getting old maybe.
