A big thanks to those of you who’ve followed me since I left X & came to BlueSky. I’ve quickly surpassed the 1400 or so followers it took me years to acquire back there. I’m sure I’ll pass 2,000 pretty quickly. But I’ve done it largely by following Starter Packs, so I now nearly 4k myself …

This from his own party though. Sometimes damning with faint praise hurts more than full on insults.

‘Won’ the conference season. Yeah right. She couldn’t win a game of solitaire if she cheated.

Yes, but you don’t go in them.

Here in England no one sees you at the gas station. You just go, stick your card in the pump, fill up, leave.

Who the fuck is Bad Bunny though ? Is this a spin off from the Duracell ads ?

The King is in the altogether, the altogether, he’s altogether as naked as the day that he was born !

So which Just Eat ad do you think was best ? Craig David’s current one ? Or Snoop Dogg’s Tacos to ma chateau rap ? I’m going with Snoop.

Nice seeing England three up so quick, & would like to see them grab a hatful. Not so keen on seeing Wales get a drubbing though so … I guess it will be a dull second half with lots of substitutions & Wales grabbing a consolation. #ENGvWAL

“Under age girls” - that’s “children”. Just sayin’

Stare cat stare cat, what you think you’re looking at ?

Feel that burn !! You are right on the money.

He’s just such a lying twat. Not a scooby. In the UK circumcision is very much the exception rather than the rule, but has similar autism rates to US, where I’m told circumcision is very prevalent. Also Paracetamol does not cause autism. I’d stake my life on it.

I’m puzzled as to why big UK news outlets give so much publicity to Nigel Farage & his private company. His latest out pouring of lies & bigotry in America about UK teachers is beneath contempt. Undeserving of serious consideration. They should be playing him down not bigging him up.

I’m not defending the ICE people at all. But I do think there’s something not right with that video.

I wouldn’t be sure he’ll be successful though. He’s obviously taking ricochets from the ground though (which is what the balls are supposed to do). The guys on the roof are clearly at too high an angle to deploy these weapons “safely”.

I talked to Linda quite a few times on Twitter when I was still there. Sorry to hear things have gone down hill for her since. She is so dignified & brave.

It came from the guy who walked up to him on the ground

The puff of powder appears to come out of the elbow of the guy who walks up to him

TAFKANorthernHeckler @northernheckler.bsky.social · 2d

I don’t know - I didn’t think it possible- but slow it right down - the white powder appears to shoot out of that guy’s elbow. Something odd going on here.

TAFKANorthernHeckler @northernheckler.bsky.social · 2d

I don’t know if this has been doctored by AI or anything, but I saw this earlier, and I could swear I saw the pepperball itself. But now If I slow right down though the white powder appears to shoot from the elbow of the guy who walks up wearing the white hat. Have a good look. 👀

This heron perched directly opposite my home in Leighton Buzzard, England, UK at around 0715 this morning. We’re about 30 miles north of London & mostly urban. So this is not a common sight.
