Don't worry.

Just put your trust and faith in Sir Keir Starmer and... er... um...

Trouble ahead methinks....

Sir Balthazar Wobbly @sirwobbly.bsky.social · 2d

Thanks.

Yes, I'm familiar with Duck Duck Go. Just me being a bit dense not twigging what DDG stood for 😁

I've just learned that, when doing a search on Google, if you put "-ai" in your search then it stops those bloody awful AI-generated summaries.

From now on all my searches will be AI-free.

Hurrah!

I'm usually proud to be British.

But there are times when I'm ashamed to be British.

This is one of those times.

Hi there, I’ve just signed the petition below calling for the boycotting of Eurovision unless Israel is banned. Will you add your name too and then share it far and wide? 38d.gs/qh_c

Sign the petition: tell the BBC to boycott Eurovision unless Israel is banned

This is big: Spain's state broadcasters have said they'll boycott Eurovision unless Israel is banned. We need the BBC to do the same to up the pressure on the competition's bosses. Sign the petition n...

I've finally given up trying to teach Lily to drive.

#Spaniel

The interior of a car. Sitting in the driver's footwell is a lovely young English Springer Spaniel. All you can see of her is her head looking up to the driver's seat.

It's been raining.

Someone's found the muddiest puddle...

Oh... Lily!

❤❤️❤ ❤️

A lovely English Springer Spaniel. The photo is mostly out of focus but you can clearly see that Lily has very, very, very muddy paws and legs.

To be fair to Starmer (which kind of sticks in the throat to say) it's the Police who choose who to arrest. They are the ones that should feel ashamed.

Why are they banqueting with the king?

To screw us all, that's why.

Carbon Capture and Storage is, and always has been, a chimera.

Jan Rosenow @janrosenow.bsky.social · Sep 4

NEW RESEARCH: Researchers from Imperial College London conclude: Safe CO₂ underground storage capacity is far lower than previous estimates due to leakage risks, seismicity, engineering limits, and geopolitics.

At best, CCS looks like a scarce resource, not an unlimited backstop.

No. The only reason I learned how to ride a bike was because I took my bike to a nearby engineering firm and asked them to saw the training wheels off, which they kindly did.

I was about 6 at the time...

We need your help again.

Coul Links is an extraordinary coastal dune habitat, home to rare and remarkable wildlife.

But it is now threatened for a second time by plans for an 18-hole golf course that would cause irreparable damage.

Your voice could help save it. 👇

I'm on the other side of the world from you but, if I was there, I would be on the opposing antifa march (should one exist)

The word "leader" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there...

Sir Balthazar Wobbly @sirwobbly.bsky.social · Aug 31

I've ripped a few down on the roads near me.

But I feel like I'm taking my life in my hands when I do. I don't fancy my epitaph to read "Kicked to death by white racists".
