Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Can guarantee he spends most of his day scrolling and clicking and replacing his Kleenex and lube supply. 020
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 06/10/2026In context, he's using the notion of that (invented) threat to justify the war. Not suggesting he will let them take out LA. It's (yet another) misleading clip from Rupar. 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 05/10/2026It does a pretty decent job of lit crit analysis of short passages and films. People are still making skits about blunders from 3 years ago. 010
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Agree. And "becometh" would be a better imitation of early ME. 010
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Grocery deliveries every 4-5 days with large/heavy items brought to the door. Local options at whole foods, Turkish, Indian & Caribbean supermarkets, fishmonger, butcher, bakery, all within 5-10 mins walk. 010
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I picked Trump? I'm British, you giant flailing nutter. 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026No, you are assuming that this is a false flag in the total absence of evidence. That's "the Jews are behind it all" talk. 330
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026You should delete this. Uncertainty is one thing. Your assertion here is pure anti-Semitism. 240
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Such a spicy hot take, I hear Michael Macintyre is looking to use it in his next set. Sheesh.... 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Wait till the gop get power they have trump's healthcare plan from day 1. 001
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 26/09/2026My top 100 TV shows would include at least one of the Scandi noirs, The Bridge, The Killing, more recently the Chestnut Man. The NYT list seems entirely -Centric. Good to see Happy Valley on there though! 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Civ 7 is now a polished and fun game, deep and beautiful and flexible. Version 1.5 added a tonne of great little fixes. 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 22/09/2026People sometimes need a firm reminder of the sequencing that works. 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Is there a secret far left angle on biological nationalism I am not aware of, like the 'secret' brexity wing? 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 20/09/2026There's a film where Olivia Coleman plays a fisherwoman who makes herself a husband from wicker. Astonishingly, they did not call it Wickermaleon. Missed opportunity. 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Obviously she won by a clean margin, but that far lane guy was properly fast. 050
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Slavic female friend of mine tells me rather pointedly: "We have saying: Just because you asked a man to do something, doesn't mean you get to remind him Every. Six. Months!" 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Denmark turned a threat to invade into a written US promise of sovereignty without conceding any oil or mineral rights! 100
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Rubio, yesterday: "This deal permanently and completely addresses our national security concerns in Greenland" lol. He's wiping his brow at not responsible for invading NATO. 110
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026You're free to assert those things but in terms of what's written and agreed: Denmark took trump's intent to invade and turned it into a written guarantee of sovereignty, increased standard defensive umbrella and no mineral or oil concessions. That's victory, not capitulation. 110
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026A) that wasn't your initial claim. You suggested the agreement was a capitulation to trump. B) what inch has been given? C) it's harder for him to break the agreement he just trumpeted as perfect D) no, longer term, I don't trust him to honour anything 110
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The US was already responsible for its security under NATO. Russia and China already didn't have oil rights there. The new agreement preserves Greenland's territorial integrity. It seems a status quo agreement presented to trump to appease his vanity (see also: lots of other agreements trump signs) 120
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Don't listen to what trump says he thinks the agreement says. Read the agreement. 110
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Day 2 of posting only fun or positive things on Bluesky. 5 days no booze moderate eating mild exercise today. Definitely clearer headed and getting more done each day. 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Civ 7 adding England and Elizabeth I for free.... Just what I needed to dive back in! 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 14/09/2026It was awful. I love the show but that was an episode of peak 'second screen' TV. 020
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 09/09/2026This seems to be Bluesky's version of 'Obama is running a shadow government....' 001
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 04/09/2026For as little as a five figure sum.... Ah I remember when he would make a little cameo video for fifty quid saying literally any old thing ... Inflation, eh? 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 31/08/2026New low-level insurgent tactics from Murdoch's Fox empire.... 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 28/08/2026It's brave of you to say this on here. I expect most replies will blindly flame you but I do know several established, lifelong writers who find Claude extremely powerful as a tool in many different ways. 130
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Clearly untrue doomerism. Different policies succeed or fail. Smoking rates decline. Societies get healthier. Others don't. 000
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 27/08/2026So many super smart replies to that Guardian article.... 010
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 23/08/2026So far, you've said 1) I didn't say engage with Cofnas 2) I think you should engage with Cofnas 3) I hate you. You haven't answered his question. 0750
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I suspect that would fix the war with Iran pretty quickly, for starters... 001
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 21/08/2026This is a fun romp film. Critics might say it is bad but remember it is Friday and wine and beer exist. Enjoy! 120
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Under the Tories the coursework was scaled back and the prominence of league tables and funding by performance led to ever greater exam paper grind. When SATS were eliminated, year 9 became another year to grind GCSE. 150
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 21/08/202625 years secondary teaching here: you're describing the opposite of O levels Vs GCSEs. Or at least the way they were intended and initially designed. It was a move away from rote regurgitation towards process and learning to learn and coursework to assess more fairly and in a more real world manner. 180

Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I opted out at the level of being a low flying AC-130 firing 105mm artillery and 20mm cannon at targets below. It was treated like a fairground ride but instead of coconuts it was people. 010
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Bit the same with restaurants? Vat cuts to preserve my favourite place to get fresh gnocchi maybe isn't top national priority for now? 010
Eddie Dolan @eddiedolan.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Have to meet to standardize the marking and review the marking and plan for next year's marking. 011
