Dad, cricket, cycling. Here to be informed, and for the occasional giggle
@georgetakei.bsky.social A short thank you. You're not alone in this but, from here in the UK, how you openly and consistently champion those values we share shows that America's issues need not be permanent. You could choose to spend your time elsewhere - you couldn't spend it any more valuably.

So I'll be back around then. We'll be trying to raise a bit of money for Centrepoint, bearing in mind that there are a bunch of people who have nowhere to go this evening. gofund.me/637d21d0 ENDS FOR NOW 🎄🛏️

Unbelievably, it's the 14th year of this thing.
What is it?

Hi there! I’m a slightly over 40 year old ex-sovereign of a now fallen empire called Twitter, looking to rebuild a following in pastures green under a Bluesky. Oh, and I sing - but not necessarily to your liking.

They're here!
To celebrate joining Bluesky, here's the most joyful cricket video of 2024:

Never seen this before, but this quote deserves repeating...

Could you tell me whether we are going to be lucky enough to get a new advent colouring sheet this year? Thank you

Celebrating our return to Bluesky by sharing the most batshit Australian speech ever given: Bob Katter's gay marriage speech, in all its unhinged glory. Enjoy.

Badenoch arriving is the clearest evidence yet of a change in the centre of gravity online. I know some people will hate it. But if you want to replace X, it's going to involve the leader of the opposition being here.

Good to see this. It is, admittedly, quite a small list!
But anyway, I'm all for balance and avoiding the echo chamber trap. Unlike Twitter, centre right here doesn't mean full Nazi.
With luck engagement here will be more civil.

I don't care how brazen this is: if this gets 20 reposts I'll post about one of the greatest tasks of my Taskmaster series, which would be talked about today as much as the trouser theft/texting/song etc, but which was NEVER BROADCAST ON THE SHOW. Or 10, whatever. I'd probably do it for 1.
