Merry Christmas to everyone at @trashfuture.bsky.social, I'm now up to 2022 in the back catalogue and at current rates I will catch up to the podcast in about 2030 when I'm sure we'll be living under fully automated luxury gay space communism.

Merry Christmas @politicanimal.bsky.social , to you and your now larger family! The words "Ooo, Jo Kibble has a new video out" are some of the happiest uttered in our house, long may it continue.

Merry Christmas @jagohazzard.bsky.social , you make some of the best content there is, I always get a little lift when I see a new video. Here's hoping for a great 2026 for you & the channel!

Merry Christmas to @garius.bsky.social ! I would find it hard to compliment you on any one particular "thing" you do on here, as you do so many. So I'll just say you're awesome!

The most hilarious bit for me was the demographic/population bit. Oh no, there may only be slightly less than 8 billion humans for the next couple of centuries. Who's going to do all the thinking?!

I'm on a packed 2-car EMR 158 from Nottingham to Peterborough. Lots of people with luggage going home for the holidays. It's very warm, something in the drivetrain is whining horribly, but at least it's on-time!
