My son (2.5 years old): Mossad! Mossad! Me: Leonard, I am pretty sure the Mossad isn’t here. After 15 min, realising I was playing a Mozart opera and: A) he says Mossad for Mozart. B) he can recognise Mozart’s music when he hears it. Proud mama.

I initially designed it for survivors of gender-based violence and those supporting them but really it’s for anyone looking to be safer online. It’s very basic, accessible to all, requires no infosec knowledge whatsoever. So if you or someone you know need this workshop, pass it on!

Not sure the very minute celebrity traitor is starting is the right moment to remember I should use this platform for my work announcements but heh next week I will be doing a digital security training. Details and registration here: luma.com/dkvtvuc0

And they’re using… X?!?! 🧐🧐🧐 Surely if anyone should be on Bluesky or even Mastodon it should be them?

I’m afraid after reading you’ll weirdly find yourself rooting for the white straight dude from Essex caught in lesbian drama.

Ah yeah we had the terribly uncool Charterhouse when the pubs closed but there was no going home. There was a surprisingly high concentration of night clubs in that otherwise very corporate neighbourhood. But yeah grey blue faced people. That’s what we all looked like.

Nah this is just what Farringdon looks like in the evening. It all looks blue. The air is icy blue. People turn grey blue.

No better way to end a rainy Sunday spent playing with wooden trains and watching German puppetry than a discussion about AI and whether it will kill us all. I will be on LBC at 18:30 to do just that.

Damn the London dating scene of the 40s/50s must have been quite something that you could go on a date with Ralph Miliband/Rosalind Franklin and step out thinking « nah I can do better than this »

Well as a dual British/French citizen this was the best possible game. Wish we had gone on extra time to get to 15 goals.

Eva Blum-Dumontet @evabd.bsky.social · 14/07/2026
The whole point of dual citizenship is that France was meant to be my back up team I would support once England loses. How did they manage to lose before England?!?

I see people on Bluesky complaining about ITV commentary. Meanwhile I watched the game on French tv and since the referee was French the commentators felt obliged to talk about him so much I initially thought he was a British player I had never heard of with an oddly French sounding name.

Ah yes people going to their GP practice when they’re unwell will boost the economy, if only Keir Starmer had thought about this.

As someone campaign against the ban it’s a pretty good piece to understand where the argument is at. His push back on point 4 I find particularly weak and I think this is the angle we should really be hammering.

And don’t mean to sound critical of it btw. I was doing it while in journalism school and honestly I learnt as much from it as i learned from j school.

Hmmm in a way wlpress was quite traditional in how it worked. It was not massively collaborative tbh. Someone (me or one or two other people) would write and it would get reviewed by a de facto editor. The main thing was that every thing you’d write need to be backed up so quite academic in style

Growing up in 90s Vatican policy is homophobic and sexist exposes folks to HIV and teenage pregnancies. 2020s: “if you want to understand my views on AI just check out whatever the Pope said”

Partner is walking in the streets of Nuremberg with his arsenal shirt and people are coming to congratulate him. The joy of living in a mid-size German town with one and a half Arsenal supporter. The half being our toddler.
View of a toddler from the back. He’s covering his nappy with an Arsenal scarf.

Annecy if you want nature rather than culture. Though you’d probably want to rent a car there.

Her voice was incredible that’s why I wished they had written a better song for her! Anyway I’m happy with the results in the end. Bulgaria is a worthy winner. Moldova got pretty high up despite not getting the love they deserved from the jury.

Took me a long time to realise the magic flute 🪈 gimmick wasn’t always there and is just for Vienna. They should keep it! #eurovision

I would assume they would choose to hold it in Cyprus but seeing Cyprus didn’t give them any point maybe they’ll reconsider their options 😈

Eva Blum-Dumontet @evabd.bsky.social · 16/05/2026
Change the rules of #eurovision so that Cyprus and Greece aren’t allowed to vote for each other anymore.

Why no vote for Lithuania? 😢 #eurovision

Missed Eurovision song opportunity! But anyhow it looks like they’ll do very well and don’t need my advice on disco pop military marches to win 😅

Interesting! Apart from @jamesrball.com I hadn’t seen much love for Moldova. Well let’s see, suspect Bsky might not be very representative. (I actually think Israel will do very well much to the chagrin of many here).

Nothing screams “we already won last year and don’t want to win again” more than letting a plagiarising song represent you. We see you #Austria

This year for #Eurovision I am voting based on how confident your song makes me feel that your country would resist a Putin invasion. Sorry Finland but no confidence at all. Meanwhile Moldova, count on my vote.

I am watching #Eurovision and my toddler is refusing to sleep and pestering me to play Bach and never have I ever felt so judged in my life. “No, Leonard, now Maman is listening to some tacky queer trash. We will listen to Bach tomorrow”
