LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 18hSocialism means collective or state ownership of the means of production (industry, land, capital), not just public services. Plenty of people who oppose socialism in that sense happily support the NHS, state pensions, or schools, which is closer to a welfare state or social democracy. 040
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 19hAs a man, I never use a social media, very much like to live in the moment, women often pick up on this and say ‘Hey, I notice you never have a phone ?!’ I reply ‘That’s correct, I very much like to live in the moment!’ Then they say ‘That’s so rare these days!’ Sent from iPhone 060
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 13/10/2026Okay, as long we can retire earlier than women cause we don’t live as long, then you’ve got a deal. 041
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 09/10/2026I love the bends, but I prefer in rainbows, it was a real return to form after the left turn, it’s got the right balance of experimental but it still has warmth, heart and Melodies. Something that Thom seems to have forgotten about. 140

LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I used it once to ask my wife if she still wanted me to pick vol-au-vants, she texted back asking who was Volvo Vontz, obviously it couldn’t understand the West Country accent. Good name for a band though. 210
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 07/10/2026The older you get you realise the best thing to do is to not waste your energy on people you want nothing to do with. I walk away from people in real life, take myself out of the situation, life’s to short. 010
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Scandinavia isn't socialist. Denmark, Sweden and Norway are market economies with private ownership, free trade and few barriers to business. Danish officials have said this explicitly. They run capitalist economies with high taxes and generous welfare states. Try again. 070
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Yes, let’s never ever take risks, stay at home and doomscroll till the whole thing is over. 1130
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 05/10/2026That’ll be next, people doing parkruns on mobility scooters. 110
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I saw a woman I went school with on a mobility scooter the other day, nothing wrong with her, she didn’t want to walk when she was at school, she was waiting for technology to catch up. 100
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 05/10/2026You've said 'fascist' three times and mentioned Burnham's policies zero. That's the whole problem with the pitch. 200
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Ah yes, the classic 'agree with me or you're a fascist' pitch. Nothing says 'last chance for democracy' like telling half the electorate their votes don't count unless they pick the right man. 130
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 04/10/2026If I do it, should I post it on social media for likes or kudos like you, or just keep it to myself and keep my humility ? 020
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 04/10/2026There’s lots of silver cars, so narrowing it down to the make is understandable, unfortunately if that make is an Audi or a BMW then you’re a cunt regardless 000
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I did all my outdoor stuff in the ‘90’s, got it out of my system. 0100
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 03/10/2026And that’s why you got the sack as the manager at the Tate modern. 1100
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 03/10/2026 You said the human race is an ethnic group, it isn’t. I answered that. If there's another point, make it. 010
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Genocide is defined by targeting a group within humanity, which is why the Convention lists specific groups. If everyone counts as the victim, nobody is the target. The term you're looking for is 'crimes against humanity' and even that needs a widespread attack on civilians. 120
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 03/10/2026You clearly don't know what genocide means. Climate change isn't aimed at any particular group, genocide is when you have intent to destroy national, ethnic, racial or religious groups. Go read a book. 240
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I’ve never thought of Americans as eccentric, they’re not interesting enough for that. 000
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Bob’s a good singer, I love his voice, who wants that generic X Factor voice for the masses for people who don’t really like music, no one could touch his version of ‘like a rolling stone’ the snark in his voice makes the song. Most covers of his songs are pale imitations. 150
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 01/10/2026False analogy. Asbestos and leaded petrol were banned because they caused clear, serious harm in normal use. Modern PTFE (Teflon) pans are not in that category. PTFE itself is inert and non-toxic at normal cooking temperatures. 250

LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 26/09/2026That’s a terrible comparison, Liam’s vocals sound nothing like Tim’s, musically The charlatans had a vibe, way more interesting, oasis are closer to slade musically, only not as good. 130
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 26/09/2026If that’s the case that doesn’t explain why Argentina claims full sovereignty over the territory and people rather than contesting basing rights or seeking an access arrangement- nations do have precedent for the latter. 0100
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Falklanders themselves voted 99.8% to stay British in a referendum. If the Isle of Wight held a vote and 99.8% wanted to join Argentina, nobody would be up in arms about it. The anger isn't about proximity to Argentina, it's about ignoring what the people living there actually want. 4641

LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 25/09/2026My neighbour had a foreign lad staying at their house, he was pressure washing the brick pavers, the water was coming over the fence and getting my washing wet, when I tried to tell him, he said he spoke no English and carried on, later I heard him speaking fluent English to my neighbour. 120
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 24/09/2026That makes zero sense, now they’re on your face, close to your mouth, use your elbow at least. 001
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 24/09/2026And when they do play songs it’s usually some awful shite. What did give me hope the other day was a girl blasting out The Stone Roses ‘She bangs the drums’ at the lights and singing along at the top of her voice. 0100
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 24/09/2026This is one of those fantasies you conduct in your head, seen lots of variations on this theme usually involving Reform and a bigot, I’m sure it gave you a little stiffy thinking about it, but no one’s going to be that gullible they think it’s real are they, oh wait ?! 000
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 24/09/2026So how come I’m attracted to women of all ages then ? 110
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 24/09/2026When pushed on why, they’d just say ‘it’s my preference!’ A lot of them were bisexual women too. 020
LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 24/09/2026I’d say it’s a lot higher than that, I was on a swinging site and at least 80% of women wouldn’t go near bi men and these are supposed to be the open mind ones. 140

LarkinBloom @apricitymends.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Chords don’t matter, it’s the melody that counts, that’s used to sketch the lyrics in, a producer can then play around, it’s like bringing a drawing and they turn it into a technicolour painting, but you need the drawing first. 110
