He’s not over here yet sadly but if you are on Insta, Medievalist Matt is so worth the follow 😆

If there’s a better live band at the moment, I’m unaware of them. Fontaines 🙌

Have to share that there was a very good dog called Meryl at the Founders Listening Tour Galway edition @portershed.bsky.social today

Top, how this newsletter appeared in my mail - seemed about right. Bottom the actual subject line

Great to see the @bsky.app sign ups ticking up again - about 4-5 new users a second. Big increase over recent weeks. Was it the Nazi salute that finally pushed some people over the edge?

Wow messages don’t come any more overtly political than this, and I might point out he’s not current president until tomorrow, but hey … TikTok back online

Stopped posting months ago, but made it official last week. Bye bye Twitter / X. Can see no justification for supporting the place in any way, at this stage.

Well, looks like Zuck has decided to turn Threads into Twitter. Bluesky continues to look like the best option.

Well that was a bit special. Fontaines DC in Dublin tonight 🙌 Did I miss anything?

The (almost) whole country celebrates this one. Marie Sherlock elected #ge24 Might be a wake up call for any new Government though as regards ongoing neglect of these Dublin areas

Speaking of Bluesky, quite the sky here in County Wicklow, Ireland this morning

And 23m+. That’s still a nice steady migration over here. Making me feel optimistic

I know a lot of people taking it for granted now, but the steady growth here on Bluesky is unprecedented

Chatting with @beebsymca.bsky.social there and it struck me I should let new followers know, I do like me music. Last week’s gigs were epic: Interpol & Nick Cave Wild Gods tour 🙌

Having been a bit lazy about posting here, it’s probably time to remind any followers there may be dog pics. Here’s our Sal #adoptdontshop #speirgorm

Ah bless. So true! This is our Sal. I really do recommend these shirts (don’t own shares in them or anything 😄)

The avatar is a bit of a give away, but would be remiss of me not to mention that I am the human to a fabulous whippet cross, Sally, (rescue from the fabulous ISPCA) and here she is looking suitably aloof #DogsofBluesky

Poor Molly. Thunder shirts are the best! Don’t know what Sal would do without it in late October

From the other place. Genuinely thought it was a parody. This UK Tory party make previous incarnations look positively sane. Genuine sympathies to all my pals from across the pond. This too shall pass
