‘Let them take out Los Angeles. Let them take out San Diego.’ Not some bloke shouting nonsense in a pub. That was #Trump, the #POTUS, talking about two cities in the country he is supposed to protect. In politics, you’re meant to defeat the opposition. Not wipe them out.

The US has removed all its bombers from RAF Fairford, days after six men were arrested near the base in a counter-terror investigation. No reason has been given. Obviously, nobody will be joining those two dots. #RAFFairford #USAirForce #UKNews

The Tories now promise 50,000 new prison places. They had 14 years in government. Net prison capacity rose by just 482 places and 23 prisons closed. Now, in opposition, they’ve decided 50,000 is urgently needed. Funny how ambition improves after losing office. #Prisons #Tories #UKPolitics

I visited Jane Austen's house in Chawton today, which seemed an entirely sensible way to spend a morning, and considerably more interesting than most sensible things.

A new album is coming out featuring Count Binface and Farage.

Alt text:

A satirical album cover parody titled Another One Bites the Dustbin. The cover has a vintage vinyl LP design with a worn, retro look and a partially visible black record sliding from the sleeve.

On the left stands Count Binface in a dark suit and cape, wearing his signature metal bin helmet and giving a thumbs-up.

On the right is a caricature of Nigel Farage at a lectern, set against dramatic stage lighting.

Large lettering across the top reads 'Another One Bites the Dustbin', with 'Binface v Farage' beneath. The sleeve is marked '33⅓ RPM' and 'Stereo', with a sticker advertising tracks including 'The Final Count Down', 'Count on Me', and 'many others', presenting the artwork as a spoof political comedy album.

I am not ready to try to get someone to publish my books. Perhaps I am too critical. Anyhow, I have been thinking, why not turn them into online comics using abridged versions? If someone sees them, then... www.theoretically.co.uk

Oh well. Another new year. Surely 2026 can't be as bad as 2025 was.

CT scan today. Flat on my back, watching two little heads on the screen—one for breathing, one for holding it. Not moving; just one set lit at a time. Pac-Man without chase. Breathe. Hold. Breathe. Hold. The machine hummed. I thought about high scores and kidneys. I hope they’ve cleared the stones.

Been married 36 years today. Thirty-six years of harmony? No. Thirty-six years of compromise? Yes. Thirty-six years of muttering under my breath. Definitely. If I could go back 36 years, would I change my mind? No. Maybe. Uhm. She might read this. NO! #WeddingAnniversary

Queues, darling, are Britain’s only actual national sport. Forget cricket, forget football: those are practice runs. The real contest happens outside the post office at half past eleven, where twenty strangers stand in a silent battle of endurance. monologues.uk/shopping/que...

Darling, the queue isn't just a line, it's a performance. Mona Logg's Monologues presents a witty look at the tragicomedy of Britain's greatest silent theatre.

Trump’s like a baby clownfish shadowing an ancient, cranky walrus of a business coach, learning how to turn democracy into a dictatorship. Alaska wasn’t about peace. No. It was a mating dance of egos — all orange, blubber, and tusks — with nothing to show for it. #Ukraine #Trump #Putin #Alaska

I am no longer a walking human maraca. Three large kidney stones were removed today.

I’m putting together a creative survival kit: notebooks filled with unfinished thoughts, unwritten stories, and my life in vignettes. If the internet breaks or becomes overpoliced, I’ll still have my words—offline, unfiltered, and harder to delete.

David @davids.ink · 16/04/2025

Listening to How They Broke Britain and honestly, it’s brilliant. Sharp, steady, and scathing in all the right places. It’s like someone finally pointed at the mess and said, “Yes, this—look properly.” Thank you, @mrjamesob.bsky.social

Two granddaughters are in the house today. “Visiting” sounds far too civilised—one’s finished preschool, the other’s full of sniffles. Fingers crossed, she’s better by Sunday, or Disneyland Paris might feature more tissues than tiaras.

I always ask for British English in my Claude prompts. It never happens, so a poem... I love you, Claude, I really do, But must I always ask times two? "British, please"—I beg, I pray, Yet "color" shows its face each day. One prompt should do, it's not obscure: The u in favourite should endure.

I swore I’d start the day with purpose. Instead, I started with putting bread in the toaster. Planned marmalade. Remembered diabetes. Then remembered toast isn’t exactly low-carb either. So now I’m just standing in the kitchen, rethinking my entire morning.

David @davids.ink · 28/03/2025

I made a to-do list this morning and immediately felt accomplished. Then I stared at it, made coffee, and considered adding “stare at list” just so I could tick something off.

Birthday well spent: 63 today; celebrated with Ruth and my granddaughters, a cinema trip, and lunch. Their handmade cards? Absolute masterpieces of stick-figure art. I don't know if I should frame them or submit them to the Tate Modern.

@emmachaloux.bsky.social Poetry, writing, photography, birds, music, coffee, pronouns & being a parent are things I admire. Scorpio has me on the fence—no, off the other side! ENFP is interesting; I seem to float between ENFP and INFP. Never more than 54% E or I, depending on when I take the test.

I’ve all but bid farewell to X. It’s like leaving a party that stopped being fun ages ago—but I’m keeping my account alive, just in case. Who knows? Maybe one day, Musk will be forced to sell, and we’ll wake up to a new dawn. Until then, you’ll find me here, enjoying the fresh air. 🌱

Merry Christmas! May your day be as bright as the fairy lights on your tree and as stress-free as an empty car park at the shopping centre. Here's to laughter, love, and at least one gift that isn’t socks. May your turkey be juicy, your sprouts bearable, and your crackers actually funny.

Is Bluesky turning into a new Tinder? I have never had so many young women want me or wish to connect with me. Foolishly, I followed one back. Apparently, I am really attractive. Why can't there be one social media site where everyone is genuine and not after your money via backhanded means?

David @davids.ink · 15/12/2024

I rarely use "Twitter" these days. On my last four visits, I have had a notification. On all four occasions, these have been from accounts I do not follow and are far-right accounts. WTF X. Read my posts, see who I respond to and fix your algorithm. Actually, don't. I'm not interested in your shi..

Christmas jumper day today. The office memo said to wear one. Alas, being self-employed, working from home and the only worker in my company—I should add and the writer of the memo—I thought I had better wear one. I can't wait for my Christmas party!

Posted our letters to Santa today before stopping off for haircuts. Granny had already cut Grandpa’s hair this morning, so he’s ahead of the game. Feeling festive, tidy, and ready for Moana.

David @davids.ink · 29/11/2024

Off to watch the new Moana movie with my granddaughters today—complete with a train ride for extra excitement! Mummy and Daddy are meeting us after work, and we’ll round it all off with a family meal. Adventure calls, and I’m just hoping I don’t end up singing You're Welcome all night!

Hello again, Bluesky! After a long hiatus, I'm back. I'm David from Hampshire, juggling writing, web design, and SEO tinkering. I love books, travel, philosophy, and the odd chat with AI. Currently, I am working on a couple of projects to earn me a little cash during a fast approaching retirement.

David @davids.ink · 23/09/2024

I haven't posted in months, and this comes after a previous break of months. I am back now—hopefully!

I haven't been here for five months. Shocking, I know. However, today is a new day, and I will try and commit to posting more.

I am yet to fart so far this year. This is unusual because it is customary for me to have a new year poo around now!
