Nothing to see here. Move on.

Literally nothing newsworthy in this.

The scenes of devastation from Gaza City are appalling. Peace deal or not, Netanyahu deserves to spend the rest of his days behind bars.

I learned the most wonderful useless fact on here today!

Went to a play last night. One very niche criticism.
The American character's tie had the stripes going the wrong way.

British tie stripes go from left down to the right: American are opposite. There are historical reasons that I won't go into.

I feel both proud and ashamed of noticing.

Wow, that's fascinating! Thank you.

Liverpool's youth recruitment policy moves to another level entirely, as the BBC reports we're interested in a player who's not yet even been conceived...

Jon @jonw67.bsky.social · 1d

Oh please, do go into the reasons!

Taylor Swift's new album notches up "the most UK album streams in a week ever" - wow.

And it's not just hype: 57-year-old men are probably not her main target market, but I think it's absolutely brilliant.

Great to see the committee awarding this year's Nobel Peace Prize to Donald Trump.

Oh.

No they didn't.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.

And what's even better: they never will.

If you count blogging as social media - met pretty much all of the most important people in my life over the last 20 years.

Jon @jonw67.bsky.social · 2d

Incredible. Just wow.

The Princess of Wales disapproves of kids spending time on electronic devices. So much better to put a fence around acres of Windsor Great Park to keep the hoi polloi at bay so your children can play outside in peace.
