You’re coming in, paying for food, and keeping them open. I don’t think they care

Is this in dispute?

Dude. This is the entire plot of Back to The Future. I watched this at like 5 years old and it was what I took from the plot. If you don’t get that, maybe Bluey is your level. (Bluey is great btw. Not a slight on the show)

I get up 30 minutes earlier so I can eat breakfast and have a rest before going to work. I’m not getting up even earlier

Racism in Scotland feels like it’s becoming much more overt

I know it’s innocent until proven guilty. But I’m going to go out on a limb on this one….

When are people going to accept that linear viewing is not how the public consume media anymore?

“Brilliant, poignant and spot on.” it's a fucking cartoon by the guy who did Special Correspondents. It’s not fucking Ben-Hur. #AlleyCats

I think we can agree that Ricky Gervais has managed to get Alley Cats launched on Netflix

This story is either completely fabricated - or Mark Ruffalo is blaming the wrong people. Disney is literally Disney. They can afford to pay both people

A friend said that Ann Widdecombe was a “lovely woman”. I said that you are what you put into the world; she put bigotry and hatred. Just because she nice to some people at a summer fête doesn't make her lovely.

David McFadyen @dave8001.bsky.social · 11/07/2026
I think that’s pretty much what I said

David McFadyen @dave8001.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
You can find Ann Widdecombe an abhorrent person with disgusting views, but also find her murder abhorrent and disgusting. These are not conflicting views

David McFadyen @dave8001.bsky.social · 10/07/2026
I’m no fan of Anne Widdicombe, but if the reports of her being murdered are true, this is clearly horrendous.

I will admit that in my pfp I look haunted. But it’s genuinely the first photo since about 2021 that I’ve been happyish about. So, I’m taking it. The gym is obviously starting to work again.

First time in years I’ve been able to take an okay photo.

Couple of things if this were true: Firstly, this should be a discussion prior to marriage. Secondly, any adoption company worth their weight would never accept the rationale that someone is so focused on their career that a child would come second irrespective of how financially secure they are

It truly was a unique way for Kay Burley to end her career this week.

God forbid the kids are given information as opposed to disinformation…. That said, I do agree with the ban

David McFadyen @dave8001.bsky.social · 15/06/2026
Whilst certain social media apps are being banned for people under a certain age, I’m unsure if there are going to be restrictions to prevent the same companies coming up with work arounds with new platforms that will n effectively create the same situation but more hidden

I was once in a Doctor Who pub quiz that Steven Moffat was also in. Unsurprisingly, I lost.

Billie Piper was never announced as The Doctor. #DoctorWho

David McFadyen @dave8001.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
Never questioned the good faith of anybody involved in who/trek/whatculture. I’ve had connections to the show going back to Series 5; and it was concerning that everything had been quiet on that end for about a year. So, unsurprised that this cancellation happened. But I was hopeful
000
David McFadyen @dave8001.bsky.social · 10/06/2026
So…. The demise of #DoctorWho will be Billie Piper’s face at the end. I hope everybody involved (excluding Billie Piper, who doesn’t deserve any of this vitriol) are proud of how they’ve killed the show.

If they’d said that Boom was a better episode to The Waters of Mars, I would understand, I’d still thoroughly disagree, but I’d be able to rationalise why some people may think that - but there’s no line of argument other than a disconnection with previous #DoctorWho to justify Rogue.

The #DoctorWho “festive” special began being a casualty when it (originally) moved to New Year’s Day, then not having one at all in 2022, then again in 2025. The current situation is an extension of this.

Ah yes. “Fighting age” that well known metric we use in the U.K. for determining the functionality and capacity of a person. Bloody reactionary politicians need to leave it.

Social Studies, usually the faculty that Social Work exists in. Pretty bloody essential course, for it to be stripped back. Particularly during a crisis period of not being able to retain Social Workers within the profession. Sterling job @cardiffunilib.bsky.social

They also use it to describe someone who is a good c***.

Nah. It would be nearer fascism if the person playing the music got pissy and offended if someone asked them to stop

I’m proud of my fellow Scottish people today. Whilst not an SNP fan myself, we need to do what we need to do to keep racists out of power. I’ll happily lend them my vote so they can lend Reform the boot in Scotland

David McFadyen @dave8001.bsky.social · 08/05/2026
I voted tactically in Scotland to keep reform out. I’m hoping others did so too. Seeing the English Council election results coming in is filling me with dread for today, but also with dread for the future of the UK that we’re significantly stuck in.

STV not covering the Scottish Elections tomorrow is ridiculous.
