Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 22/09/2026That statement by the Israel FA is stupid, ignorant and hypocritical. 000
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Should we "take advice" from Donald Trump? No we should not. Should we "recoil from such intervention"? Yes. 020
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The latest round of this was media and podcasts trying to analyse why Trump is in disagreement with the tech companies about the future of AI. Pure nonsense. 000
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Who asked him that, Gavan? On what basis might the polls be incorrect, other than they displease Mr. Trump? 000
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Why does the Guardian pose this as a question? Just another idiot claiming that AI should have "rights". 010
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 09/09/2026The most offensive part of Webb's question is the last bit: "Are you going?" None of his business. 010
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Well, why not? The U.S is an autocracy now. The autocrat makes all the decisions. 000

Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 02/09/2026This is what it shows in Europe. It's different in US and again in Canada. 000
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 01/09/2026American banks will "red flag" any money transfers that mention Cuba, even in the reference. I know from experience. And this has been the case for more than 10 years. 110
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 01/09/2026He's right. Too many people don't know how to merge when they enter a motorway. 000
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Americans need to be asked, Does Canada have a right to exist? 000
Reposted by Gerry BlakeViet Thanh Nguyen @vietthanhnguyen.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Jason Arday didn’t harm anyone. The guy who led the social panic and hysteria aimed at Arday wants to bring back eugenics and eliminate Black people from elite institutions (and that’s likely just the beginning). So I’m not shedding any tears about his suspension. 0467
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Here here. And talk of "giving them rights" is code for giving rights to the AI companies. 010
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 19/08/2026What's wrong with Will Self that he hasn't turned into a Tory?? 010
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 17/08/2026The tickets were priced according to arrival time. If you were late for your slot you forfeited the reduction. It's not actually a fine. 100
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 16/08/2026The Guardian on Friday evening. 4 of the 5 most viewed articles in UK News are about Jason Arday. 231
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 14/08/2026No, the test must be verifiable, that's all. If it measures x amount of alcohol in a controlled setting and the answer is correct then there's no need to test further. 110
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Is that the issue though? "An MBRS analyst, Louise Lawlor, said the MBRS had no difficulty with simulated tests with known quantities of alcohol being conducted under supervision to validate the machine’s accuracy." That could have determined if the machine was faulty. 110
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Three times over the limit and no evidence produced that the machine was faulty. This is hardly a ruling to be applauded. 100
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 14/08/2026A British and Irish Jewish group criticised the Israeli prime minister’s comments as hateful and divisive. 010
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 12/08/2026It sounds like we need to have more prisons built. Shouldn't be a problem as there must be suitable sites in all of the constituencies of the government TDs. 020
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Relax dude! I just thought it was careless rather than provocative but maybe you're right! 100
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Don't think it was tongue-in-cheek. It's jarring. Would they have put "City Vs Coventry"? "Man U vs Leeds" would have sufficed. 100
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 11/08/2026There are lots of Leeds United supporters in Dublin, most of them of a certain vintage. They've been following Leeds since their 1970s heyday with Johnny Giles et al. 331
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Books I've read recently have been by Mary Costello, Michael Pollan, Elizabeth Strout and Ben Lerner. Generally 50/50 although it's not a conscious effort. 000
Gerry Blake @gerbla.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Gavan is welcome to wave his little flag if he likes. Most of us will be holding our noses till the guy leaves. 000
