I have met men who are frightened of vacuum cleaners and a few different household appliances, even simple things such as dusters.

She does seem to have serious problems. Once people are very rich they seldom get dragged off to see psychiatrists.

People in positions of influence must really dislike her if they are letting her expose herself to such ridicule and not helping her to grasp reality. I suppose that like her Dad she has no real friends.

I am so sorry about the stress, panic attacks and hate (!) not directed against yourself I hope, but that certainly seems senseless. If I could I would rock you and sing, but all of my grandchildren scuttle off now if I suggest such a thing. You deserve better.

I am atheist but this is a very warming story and thank you for sharing it. Hug the dogs and feel the love.

Yes kids love that and will keep it going for hours.

Let us know how your test goes...perhaps as a reply, then I shan't miss it. I have been rather busy and not spending enough time on Blue Sky (BS of course was what they must have had in mind when they named it). British would have been HugeSky (HS)

That is brilliant because it is so deeply satirical and poignant. How do you find links for such things? Do you have a secret army of people providing you with such gems? Have a good weekend

Best wishes for the driving test, knock them dead … but only metaphorically.

I have no notion of what happened here, but your passion is noteworthy! If I were to offer a thought it would be that some people are not worthy of the intake of breath it would take in order to spit on them.

One thing about hypocrisy, it is usually starkly obvious but always worth the effort to point it out.

And underwear companies were obligated to add pouches of gasoline around the nether regions; that would really increase the price of the kecks of course, but the pyrotechnics would be worth it.

A touch risqué in places, but just playfully so yes, thanks from me.

Gosh I can see a huge market for those.

I know that DF is an honest fellow I know that DF is a kind smart chap I know that DF is honourable I know that fairies exist I know that the earth is flat. I know that … damn I’m forgetting the rest

It is very pleasing to hear that. I'm smiling for you.

Releasing such info is begging for trouble.

Bob🇬🇧🇨🇦 @bobmthesecond.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

My experience is old. I have battled my way through machine code and I have used a decompiler. I have patched systems while debugging to check theories. A decomplier can only decompile a "known" system so the processor and its machine code should never be revealed on a secure system.

Bob🇬🇧🇨🇦 @bobmthesecond.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Even with all of the info though it would require unfettered access to each system (which I would assume were "black boxes") to reprogram the PROMS before the counting. So this would be a mob scale conspiracy. Not one person. That is treason!!

Bob🇬🇧🇨🇦 @bobmthesecond.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Insightful ... things do need to change to avoid dangerous levels of unrest. People have to feel safe, after that that they have to feel that systems are honest and fair.

An I/O availability and a core dump plus an interpreter which would provide thousands of screens worth of assembly language code and that stuff takes a huge amount of study to even follow clearly. I have worked on memory dumps it takes weeks or months if you are lucky, to see what is going on

Bob🇬🇧🇨🇦 @bobmthesecond.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

You cannot just turn up a "hack" a secure system. The creators of those systems do not leave the source code and development systems lying about. Patching machine code requires :-

Yes I believe that he might have done undemocratic things in order to make a difference to the outcome. He might have bragged to people that he is a clever fellow who understands computers. But I have some experience with computers, I was a programmer for 40+ years...

Bob🇬🇧🇨🇦 @bobmthesecond.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

It is not even remotely possible that (F)Elon could have tampered with the voting machine to modify the outcome. IT WAS Certainly in his interest to blow smoke up the arse of DJT BUT THE REAL POINT IS THAT TRUMP WAS HAPPY WITH THE IDEA.

Sadly it will be costly and the MAGA crowd will accuse them of running up debt and not helping people. The cycle of politics.

I wonder if he might Open The Hounds in his next few thousand texts.

Yes it is the thinking of those with little hope or understanding of happiness. Mistaking status for happiness is bitterly sad. I'm glad you liked the story, it has stuck with me for years now.

Old Czech folk tale… Man lives in a poor rural village … finds a bottle, opens it and lets Genie out. Gets one specific wish. Would like running water, wood for fire, better harvest can’t decide. Genie gives him one week to consider. Genie returns and the man’s says “I want my Neighbours cow to die”

My iPad is a 2018 version and is just beginning to warn me that it cannot cope with updates due to size issues. So I got a MacBook Air which does not have a touch screen it costs about the same as a top of the line iPad but I prefer it already. I hope it lasts at least 8 years.

That was well worth watching, thank you.

It is tough for those with close family in the (barely-)United States. For years it has been obvious that Americans are kind, helpful, friendly and hospitable people. Things have changed now. I cannot imagine it switching back in my lifetime.

You really get around a lot. I liked Philadelphia a lot when we visited there. Their "Please Touch" museum is (I think) a testament to the attitude of the state, i.e. the people are important. Nice parks, play areas nature reserves. Enjoy it.

Here was me moping about miserably … this is why I am not suited to social media and should stay away, as I have been advised to do multiple times now. 🤔😉

He should thank them profusely, without their efforts and left to his own devices he would have looked so much worse. Being thought of as an idiot is about as good as it could possibly get for him.

Years ago I read a great book about a brilliant teacher who turned around an entire school of kids who were considered no-hopers, with her guidance and support they went on to do incredibly well. She had told them they were as smart as anyone else they were. Some nitwit read the book to Trump.

I know it can help some people but irritate others. And I have my fingers crossed for you. Best wishes.

I got a BLM sign that I put up outside. It got some negative attention from people who seem incapable of rational thought. I moved it to inside my garage window, it has remained safe for years. Some people are pitiful yet it is difficult to feel any pity for them.

Bob🇬🇧🇨🇦 @bobmthesecond.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

I wish you the very best of luck, but I also feel that justly luck need not form any part, just go ahead and wow people in an inimitable way!

I am not sure that Satan could tolerate DJT, it might be enough to cause him to rethink his image and get the hell out of Hell.

He comes across as an hysterical child and who would trust such a child with toy soldiers?, never mind real ones.
