David Lewis @davidclewis.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Well said. Beyond the superficial gloating, there’s nothing to cheer here. We all lose and it’s not really our fault. 010
David Lewis @davidclewis.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Ooof. Strong work, but they ask me every year down here. Just to sound a note of caution, like. 100
Reposted by David LewisEddie Robson @eddierobson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I find it strange that some people refuse to believe this is the way our decentralised culture works now, that it's possible to be completely ignorant of hugely popular things that don't match your tastes and interests. People aren't lying about that because they think it makes them look cool. 7762896

David Lewis @davidclewis.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Quite right. By the way (no pun intended, genuinely), loved your piece on your pal’s substack. The phrase ‘bi now, gay later’ was inspired. 120
David Lewis @davidclewis.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Exactly this. Punishing them *now* by (eg) demotion to non-league, 115 points deduction, five year ban from professional divisions, whatever, would be far more appropriate. 111
David Lewis @davidclewis.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Just checked the NYT list of best telly of the 2000s. Surprised to find I’ve watched at least one episode of 34 of them and seen the whole show from beginning to end for 16. Far higher than anticipated, although of the top twenty, I’ve seen 8, completed 5. 120

This is also relevant to curbing stuff like dangerous driving video content. 327181

David Lewis @davidclewis.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Of course, that’s what always works when it comes to stopping these scumbag fascist criminals: a half-amusing pun nickname. 020
David Lewis @davidclewis.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Whoever advised Gordon Brown to apologise to that bigoted woman in 2010 instead of doubling down on his original remark should be sent to The Hague. So much of what is wrong with the UK today is a result of that initial craven pandering to ‘legitimate concerns’ that were nothing of the sort. 45613
David Lewis @davidclewis.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Chris Horn. Chris Heckle. Chris Nominativedeterminism. Honestly, I don’t even know enough about bassoons to even make a funny joke, but this post is the only thing in my timeline that isn’t a coming-soon trailer for hell on earth so I’d rather interact with it than anything else. 140

David Lewis @davidclewis.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Following a policeman’s visit to tell our primary school assembly about road safety, the deputy head unfathomably decided to sing his own adaption of the song from Pirates of Penzance – sample lyric: ‘PC Hunting’s lot must be a happy one (happy one)’ – while the mortified cop stood there listening. 3312
David Lewis @davidclewis.bsky.social · 23/09/2026One assembly, a girl tried to read out something she’d written, only for the mic to emit a horrid drone of feedback instead. Cue laughter from the audience, tears and a hasty withdrawal from the speaker, and castigation of the guffawing onlookers by a teacher: ‘You have the intelligence of a GNAT!’ 040
