Translink NI should open up their mothballed Lisburn-Antrim line for tourism using pedal-powered draisines. It'd be a legendary win.

There is an idea of a Charlie Brown, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there.

If there is any Doctor Who news today, I hope it will be scheduled for 5:15pm and then get delayed by news of the American president being assassinated - After all, it's how it all started.

There are lonely churches to be found where old saints live in strange stone boxes. When we say saints, that word has to encompass those spirits of place which were there long before the cross came along. Relics of both Christian and folk faith may be the same bone. – Dr. M. Benn

In Hookland, many a folkloric tale starts not with ‘A long time ago’ or ‘Far, far away’, but with the line: ‘Out across the dark moor where strange songs are still heard …’ For folklore tells strongly of place and our relationships to it. – Dr. M. Benn #Folklore #FolkloreThursday

I've brought this up before but I think it bears repeating because it's a total non-factor in all the rhetoric: "Britain" hasn't been an island (or archipelago) at any time in its history. The last decade of drawing back behind our borders is a bizarre aberration.

It's a pity Tom Petty is dead, because, he should be congratulated for writing a song, Free Falling, that - while I was at the shops today - made me LONG for them to put the Christmas music back on...

I've discovered that Focus are playing Whelan's next year. Tix are €32. I mentioned it to my wife and I think that was a mistake. "Ooh, that's expensive, I'm not sure I like them *that* much."
I never learn.

Stories on BBC News - a street brawl which helpfully tells us those involved were “of Turkish origin” and another about a sex offender “Sudanese” but an extremely prolific sex offender responsible for 343 offences is not described as “white British” why is that

No-one has made a good movie about Borley Rectory. In fact some of the worst films I have ever seen have had Borley in the title. It’s a film curse. A spectrum of shite. I implore you, avoid any Borley film - even those with half-decent casts and cinematography are pustules on the Devil’s cock.

The way the BBC have reacted to Trump's criticism is a ridiculous, overblown kneejerk, especially when they wholly ignored criticism about their Gaza reporting, Corbyn bashing or Farage soapboxing.

So, @bsky.app, why does your web interface character count say 300, but allow me to post 323 characters when there's a URL? You only allow 300 ch in your API, so when I write posts here to check for length and then paste them into a scheduler, they are too long. This is ridiculous.

BREAKING: Green Party councillors have walked out of Belfast City Council’s meeting after the Lord Mayor blocked a member from speaking on the Gaza genocide and refused a recess to resolve it. This is a clear overreach of the Mayor’s duty to act impartially.
