I like the guy, and I don't agree with your assessment that he's either "unwell" or "autistic". But the half-hour rants today felt a little OTT.

Are the @lbc.co.uk phone lines down today? James O'Brien is going on half-hour rants.

But I thought he was going to end the war on day one?!

Threads definitely feels more like X from a few years ago, and being a Meta property means engagement is valued above all else.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

Welcome to Bluesky. I have zero to do with the scheduling of my articles on PCWorld, I'm afraid 😄 Threads could go either way at this point. I enjoy the conversations, but the engagement farming is becoming a big issue.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Of course you can. They are, after all, just opinions.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Time and time again, the "majority" are proven to be wrong, regressive, and/or downright thick.

@shelaghfogarty.bsky.social Claiming that this judgement doesn't erode transpeople's rights is nonsense. As the caller said, they're now likely to get thrown out of changing rooms and toilets. So, where are they meant to go?

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

At the expense of trans women, yes. The Supreme Court claiming otherwise is bullshit.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 16/04/2025

Trans people clearly will be disadvantaged by this.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social No, I'm not changing my views on democracy based on what one writer said to you.

Liverpool's era was the late 70s and early 80s. United's was the 90s and 2000s. City's has been since. Arsenal and Chelsea have had inconsistent spells due to the dominance of the above three teams.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

It's more that your assertion that Liverpool and Arsenal have always been great is BS. The big teams rise and fall. The last few years have belonged to City, and that will fade.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

Ha! In a world of bad takes, this is a doozy.

I've been in shorts and a T-shirt for two weeks already.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

I'm finding Threads much more active than Bluesky these days. Anyone else having a similar experience?

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I'm pretty sure the lack of attention on the female victim in Adolescence was intentional, mirroring what happens in the media.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

Except that when you're building a fascist dictatorship, any notion of process flies out of the window.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

Quite honestly, I think they're screwed either way. If they even attempt to get closer to the EU, Reform and the Tories will rouse the Brexit mob. And what Labour is currently doing to the sick and disabled is going to lose them a lot of trad voters.

000

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 25/03/2025

I'm sure they're well aware, but 8 months into this parliament, it would be suicide to raise the issue of Brexit.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Is this legit? It looks like it's from a dystopian film.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

I'm suddenly getting a lot more engagement on Threads, and very little on Bluesky. 🤔

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I'm a dissenting voice for abolishing NHS England. Why? Because it makes the NHS more of a political football. If anything, we should be moving the NHS out of politics. It needs a 20-year plan that cannot be sidelined by an election result.

010

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Well, they should have. Obviously. I get that this is one rule for one, and one rule for another.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

Not the ones sitting on the forecourt.

Protesting, no, but setting fire to the cars, yes.

People do know this is a parody, right?! Geez.

What a dull day of programming on LBC today. Have had to switch off to prevent me from falling asleep. Online harms may be an important topic, but it's a boring subject for phone-in shows.

The Brits were there too, even though Vance seems to think we're useless.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 05/03/2025

Just watched Captain America: Brave New World. It's just OK. It works as a movie, but the timing sucks. Captain America is an analogy for America as a whole, and the Trump administration would likely mothball him for being a waste of federal resources.

010

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

If it turned out that Trump was a Russian asset or owed Russia something, I think most Americans would be sickened.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

Yes, but why. Surely, some journos or investigators can dig up the dirt here.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

They clearly want him to resign. But I fear that a Russian stooge will be elected in his place.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

I don't think it is grammatically incorrect. Because The United States is one country. The individual states that make up the US are...

The Rolling Stones is a band. The members of the Rolling Stones are humans.

It's a fantastic film, made all the better by the allegorical nature of the whole thing. I had to watch it a second time after realising that.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 02/03/2025

Trump seems to think the Atlantic Ocean means that this isn't America's fight. But if Russia starts pushing west, he'll shit himself.

DaveP @daveparrack.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

No discussion needed. Vance was particularly childish there.

Maybe Andrew Tate can buy some clothes that actually fit him while in the US.

The problem with borrowing money is that you have to pay it back pus interest. We can't afford that. Starmer is having to make grown-up decisions.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he would increase defense spending to 2.5% of GDP every year by 2027, rising to 3% after 2029, a clear signal to US President Donald Trump that Britain will step up its efforts to boost Europe's security reut.rs/43cxtyv

The timeline has nothing to do with it. The US is trying to take advantage of a country currently holding off Russia's expansion into Europe. Trump and Putin are clearly planning this together.
