Put this together a while back - apologies for the marginal production values but it seemed appropriate to share again:

And even if you accept the premise, why no purgatory?

Shouldn't have been a 2-way choice. How are atheists/ agnostics supposed to respond? 🤔

Dave Redford @dave9bikes.bsky.social · 17h

So it's performative then. Either a variation on "the cruelty is the point" or it's a distraction...

Bought that, need to finish it 🫤

On a different topic, I used to follow you on the other place - good to see you here!

State of the world or just a bad day personally?

And now we go live to Kent County Council for the Reform group meeting.

Get Iron Maiden to do the music and you might just have something :-)

It's weird how IDS managed to do just enough research to know Maccabi had a fixture in Istanbul but not enough to know the game had been moved to another country and played behind closed doors 🤔

"Thank you for your attention" 🤣

Have you thought of occasionally pasting about 10,000 words of 'lorem ipsum sit amet...' or the 1989 Kuala Lumpur phone directory? :-)

Serious question: how do you tell?

Apparently Polanski responded thus:

Works either way I guess!

Hope she can do without her roast potatoes / chips (nonexistent in this country before the discovery of the New World). Wheat was first cultivated in the Middle East so no pies or bread either. Ditto bacon & sausage (pigs first domesticated in China).

Enjoy your Sunday roast turnips!

Honest Bob was born in 1982. He was 7 when the Hillsborough disaster happened and stadiums were all-seater by the time he was 12. I think the 'bad old days' were on the way out by then...

I was never quite sure if that even had a real meaning. I mean I have a legitimate interest in bolstering my own bank balance but that doesn't oblige anyone else to help me with that...

If you happen to see this 'story' doing the rounds, please point them at this excellent debunk from @monkemma.bsky.social !

🚨Christian children were told they'd "be Muslim by year 6"!🚨

😱Sounds outrageous?

You know the drill…

If it sounds outrageous and designed to trigger you into being angry with “other” people, then you need to do some 🪏

@chroniclelive.co.uk if you could stop trying to strongarm me into accepting marketing cookies that would be great. I'm perfectly capable of filling my phone up with shite all by myself thanks!

Dave Redford @dave9bikes.bsky.social · 10d

I don't know if ppl know but you can set Bluesky to force you to add alt-text, ie so that it won't post an image until you've added it. For those that like the idea but need a reminder...

I can't believe they don't have the ability to preview what the thumbnail will look like - that's just sloppy!

Podfollow won't play nicely with my phone unfortunately 😕 What little I heard did sound interesting though...

You'd think Triangle Man would let it drop. I mean he did win. 35 years ago...!
