Almost every day I get a note telling me that someone on my contact list has joined Telegram. Yet they all continue to use What’s App. Do people think that one day there will be the start of a mass exodus or will it never happen?

I'm intrigued. A white dude from a wealthy family could be a breath of fresh air in American politics.

That’s very generous. Comparisons have been drawn between Olivier’s Hamlet and my Forrester, in fashionable west end circles.

Literally anything Irvine Welsh touches becomes fucking gold dust.
Seen trainspotting, read trainspotting series now just downloaded the audiobook.
Despite only being a minor part, some of Mikey Forrester bits have stuck with me since I first read it about 20 years ago 😂😂

Read @irvinewelsh.bsky.social's "Trainspotting". Watched the film on its November 1997 Channel 4 premiere, and again in January 2017 before going to see "T2 Trainspotting", but had never read the novel. Suspects the non-standard spellings/Scottish dialect on the first page had always put me off. 1/4

The energy bill write off con.
Fuel poverty rising, debt £4.4bn. Ofgem says £500m could be written off.
It would be added to the bills of other customers. Energy companies made £514bn operating profit since 2020.
No cut in their profit. Debt would be rebuilt
Nationalise energy. End profiteering

Thameslink -since 8.00am- have been announcing a myriad of delays and cancellations due to a passenger on an earlier train causing a disturbance. I’m intrigued as to how someone can cause such chaos so early in the morning. Is the passenger some super villain from the Marvel Universe?

Favourite bit in the new @irvinewelsh.bsky.social Trainspotting book is the bit where he tells the reader that Espedair Street by Iain Banks is great.
