Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 11/10/2026And they really don't bother to cross reference their Brexit page. This is it as of now... 120
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 11/10/2026As a journalist, don’t you find it odd that the BBC doesn’t find this newsworthy? I just checked their site, including the dedicated “Brexit” section and the latest story they have is from 19th March. 110
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 10/10/2026Loved it! Such a varied collection of outstanding art. It’s always a great day when you get to see a Vermeer up close. 030
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 26/09/2026That must be what I saw last month in London. My photo is v. poor compared to yours but the same creature, I think? 110

Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 19/09/2026As a competition, it’s only as strong as the selection process for entries. The UK is really bad at this! We should stop trying to win, or second-guess what we think would work and just send the winner (or shortlisted UK entrant) from the BBC’s Sound of the Year. (BTW, I love Zero Zero!) 010
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Here’s my suggestion: Stop trying to win, stop caring about points, and give the Eurovision slot to the act that wins the BBC’s Sound Of The Year competition. Look at the recent winners - they all deserve an early platform in their career… (Note: some winners would be ineligible for 🇬🇧) 000
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 05/09/2026The BBC’s Chris Mason finally gets round to the Reform illegal funding scandal. And it’s an indulgent “rascally pirate” take that basically lets them off the hook. 111
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 16/08/2026On a topic about which so many waded in with so little thought, I hesitate to venture an opinion - except to say that perhaps a good way to honour the dead is to read their work and seek to understand their ideas. 030
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 27/07/2026What any of this means for likely seats in three years’ time is anyone’s guess. And that’s a great reason to support electoral reform. These levels of support could translate into wildly different seat counts depending on the distribution / concentration of votes. That’s random! It’s not democracy. 010
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 11/07/2026Was there a few weeks ago and saw so many amazing depictions of bulls to go along with your bull leaper 1416
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 31/05/2026I tried it out myself with a twist. Couldn't believe how dumb it was. Does ChatGPT never challenge a question as ill-founded? 000
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Typical daily high temperatures in London are around 62 Fahrenheit 16.5 Celsius Instead, it’s 91 / 33 000

Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 16/05/2026He’s chosen an interesting seat with Makerfield. In theory, if he can unite the centre left then victory is his. But if he can’t do it in Makerfield, who’s to say he’d have done for the UK as a whole. 011
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 21/04/2026This is the news that’s pumped at us through privately owned “pods” - honestly, WTF? 000
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 14/04/2026It’s crazy we are venerating such a flawed technology. Three prompts tonight, inspired by Ed’s newsletter. 0152

Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 21/02/2026Such a beautiful moment you’ve captured! Reminds me of my first time in Oban 130
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 20/02/2026Remembering the first time we went to Cornwall. A very sunny day for March! 040
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 14/02/2026Have you read this short but brilliant book? By Simon Baron Cohen? 110
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 14/02/2026See also his “Origins of Virtue” in which he mangles evolutionary theory to argue that human nature is fundamentally selfish. Richard Dawkins later disavowed Ridley’s misuse of his ‘selfish gene’ theory to support reactionary conclusions. Never knowingly right. That’s out Matt. 180
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 06/02/2026This chart really does tell a thousand words 000
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 31/01/2026They drone on about betraying Brexit But Brexit WAS the betrayal 021
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 25/01/2026There is ample evidence to share with readers that the BBC could use. They just choose not to. 000
Reality Bites @danrealitybites.bsky.social · 21/01/2026Why would George Cottrell be giving Nigel Farage £15k? The same George Cottrell who was indicted for money laundering, blackmail and extortion… 031
