Worked most of my life now retired. I like food, drink, music, clothes, books and an imagined Tottenham Hotspur FC without the current chairman.
When I first heard #DonaldTrump 's 'kiss my ass' speech I thought it was some AI generated meme against him. Turns out it really was him. What a very sorry state of affairs.

The world has seemed largely fucked up since 2001. The economy was ok until 2008 when it really slid into the mire. Here we are 17 years later and still no sign of the good times returning any time soon.

Still can’t make up my mind between Bluesky and Threads. Been on the latter quite a bit recently but it just seems like a lot of people using it as a dating app. Bluesky appears more political without the toxicity of Xwitter.

Donald Trump is a bigger fool than he appears if he thinks that enabling The Soviet Union Mk II is how to establish peace. It’s all a great vanity project for him to try and win the Nobel Peace Prize.

Due to the poor remuneration #Spotify pay to artists for music played on its platform, I'm thinking of switching to #AppleMusic. But is Apple any more ethical than Spotify?

Theer has been a lot of breast beating over the inauguration of #DonaldTrump on social media these past few days. It's fine, we all need to get something off our chests. But the goal is to understand how he has reached the summit of power again and to stop it happening again. #Resist

I've got to a point with Italian @duolingoverde.bsky.social where it feels they are making up modules for the sake of it. Now on 'talk about the past' which is a conjugation it admits is rarely used any more and doesn't appear in my Italian dictionary. I'm really losing interest. #duolingo
