Can someone explain to me why so many men are wearing underwear under their swimming shorts? Wtf?

I don't pay a license fee for the #BBC to push and inflate the Farage agenda. I love MOTD, Strictly, Traitors, et al. But not enough to stomach PM Nige.

Not sure how I feel about the #nufc badge thing. I love the current crest, but it's not like it's the only one we've ever had. Wouldn't be against a return to something like the late 70s/early 80s - looks modern whilst also being clearly authentic to the club. Will @podonthetyne.bsky.social discuss?

I really hate it when someone sends me a message on LinkedIn (not that, that's fine) and I don't reply (which is also fine) and then they follow up with a passive aggressive "David?" - nothing else. Just my name, a question mark. Fuck off! If I was potentially gonna reply... I am not now! 🫩

Last weekend I ran the Paris Marathon. It was to raise awareness for @pscsupport.bsky.social 💙 5 others ran too, they were all completing their first marathon. Rare diseases struggle for airtime. Frankly there are lots of important causes all competing for attention. But super proud of little group!

Can't help but feel Newcastle winning the League Cup shows how much Cup competitions do matter to fans! Magic of the cup and all that. To us, starved of success, it's momentous 🏆 #nufc #toon

My Dad first took me to watch Newcastle in 1992. I was put on the concrete barriers on the terraces so I could see. Between now and then they've been a constant, often frustrating sometimes thrilling. It's not always been easy but winning today... It's my home, my team. God I love the Toon. #HWTL 🏆

Okay... we feel like we say this every week but *a lot* of stuff happened. Let's break it down, starting with @brbarrett.bsky.social on why the DOGE takeover is worse than you think... (sorry, but you gotta read this one.)

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

After the horror show orchestrated by Trump yesterday, I'm going back to listen to serious voices. Alongside Zelensky I'd urge people to listen to the voices of the Ukrainian people: real experiences, not the performative bullshit coming out of The White House. #Ukraine

With the USA trolling European values, and dictating to us, will the UK realise that our place is with Europe? We need solidarity with our neighbours and to move on from a lost decade. That doesn't mean rejoining the EU but it does mean closer ties and collaboration. Now.

I can't help but feel this GenZ graphic is a representation of our unhealthy relationship with tech. Innovation should be built addressing their needs. Maybe that's about making tech more meaningful and less intrusive.

I recently met someone who told me they'd started a podcast, but given it up despite having a very public profile and spending £2000 on a studio. Two lessons. - a 'name' alone won't build an audience - you don't need a studio Have engaging conversations wherever you can 🤞
