Trump/Putin Ukraine peace deal? WTF? Two habitual & shameless liars unable to keep promises? Putin is more to be trusted than Trump he's never made any secret of what he is. Putin isn't "playing" Trump. He doesn't need to. T is so blinded by vanity & so stupid he will accept anything Putin says.

Goodbye Vimeo! They got too big, they're in chaos, their chatbot is funny but needs an upgrade, their humans take 24 hours to answer your email. They seem confused and careless. The simple functions in the Vimeo customer journey are neither simple nor functional. Any recommendations please?

It is still winter in England. We are two weeks away from the Vernal Equinox when Spring officially starts and yet this morning a Brimstone butterfly ~ Gonepteryx rhamni ~ one of the few butterflies that hibernate through the winter is busy in the cold pale sunshine of our south coast chalk garden

Vance is getting most of the blame for the bullying & shouting but Trump chose him & we may judge a man by the company he keeps The shouting obscured the astonishing stupidity of the "policy" that the Tantrum Twins were advocating Is this Brain Power Deficit Disorder? Can BPDO be treated?

Tronald Dump, what can we say, he thinks he can buy the world and he is willing to trash his own country and his own country's reputation AND the world he wants to buy in order to do so.

The closer & more scummy the Trump Putin, dog and bitch, bromance the better. All political lives end in failure. The closer they are the more chance the fall of one will topple the other. Cheer them on, feed their delusions, hand them the spade, they'll dig their own graves and save us the effort.

I tried building an online shop on Squarespace. Possible but not easy. Thought I would try Shopify. What could be worse than Squarespace I thought? Now I know! Squarespace will allow me to enter a link to bsky.social but it does not import the butterfly brand.

WTF ~ I looked at the "Popular with Friends" feed The featured friends & friends of my friends were all from USA, no problem there except lots of the friends I follow and who follow me are in UK or Europe. Is this US bias an algorithmic glitch? Responders pls remember I may be dumb but I'm friendly

If the planet & the human race is to survive we will need cooperation on a global scale, cooperation so close & so all-encompassing that it will amount to world government If we survive COP29 will come to be seen as a single though huge step on the long journey. Cooperation not technology is the key

I now understand why Trump is keen to own golf courses. So that he can hang around the showers measuring the golfer's "equipment". Looming out of the steam, tape measure in hand. I wonder if he has Koro? Maybe that's why he wears his suit jackets so long.

Spineless braindead Gov loves obesity jabs/drugs. Overall obesity cost to nation down & increase tax revenue from BigPharma up = win/win Treating sugar & sugar lobby same way as treated tobacco & tobacco lobby ++ better but = lose/lose for Gov. Costs more & war with ++ rich sugar lobby. Comments?

for 50 years (WTF) Don't Look Now (dir:Nic Roeg 6/5*) has set the benchmark for movie sex scenes. I felt "If you can do better do it, otherwise don't bother" the long night of personal discovery in Disclaimer (Alfonso Cuarón) sets a new bar now Not an adult movie but a movie for adults. Go look now

Help? Both I and my partner are getting loads of Manga (I'm told) posts in our feeds. How do we stop this? It is both tedious and depressing.

Bad Behaviour podcasts start 1 October featuring politicians business-leaders & policy-makers + vivid descriptions of their lies & prevarications, toxic self-interest, heart-breaking cruelty, moral turpitude, breath-taking hypocrisy, grotesque stupidity & derelictions of duty. Nothing new there then

Can anybody help me. What size of image fits the BlueSky banner header. I need an answer as a ratio. For example I usually publish landscape photos as 16:9 If anyone from BlueSky can find the 40 minutes I have lost trying to finesse their system I would be grateful if they would return them too me

Off for a month checking golden-hour light at 27 locations in eastern France. All I need is 10-12 sunny mornings between now and mid-October. By tradition I should be OK now is the vendage, the grape harvest, but climate change chaos doesn't know the rules.

The latest Origin Story podcast The Battle of Cable Street is a 5* example of the Dunt & Lynsky output. In unpicking a modern myth masquerading as history they are both erudite and amusing. Being disabused of a long cherished delusion was never so much fun. open.spotify.com/show/5AogBB6...

I have had enough of politicians, media hacks & assorted Wingnutz and Dipshitz discussing the "small boats crisis" If we are to neglect & abandon our fellow human beings to their fate let us at least be honest with ourselves and each other We don't have a boat crisis we have a human being crisis.

PODCAST REVIEW No 7 -The Poetry of Reality- 👏 x5 Charming erudite civilised funny atheist exercises his towering intellect explaining evolutionary-biology & offends ++ people dismissing their religious beliefs as foolishness An inestimable national asset. I love him. He agrees with everything I say

Joe Tibbetts @joetibbetts.bsky.social · 17/08/2024

PODCAST REVIEW No6 - The Rachman Review - FT journalist invites genuine experts to discuss today's big geopolitical questions. Gideon R is a class-act as are his guests Topics are hot, tone is cool, content is cooked fresh not reconstituted pap. Best of all it's short! 4.7* Accept no substitutes!

000

Joe Tibbetts @joetibbetts.bsky.social · 16/08/2024

PODCAST REVIEW No5 - Englesberg Ideas - slightly over-educated but nevertheless amusing & passionate talkers do subjects I didn't know I was interested in (eg. Paris in the Belle Epoque or Why Machiavelli wrote The Prince) I choose carefully, listen to 50% of them & am never disappointed 4.5*

A male Wren builds nests in our garden More than 1 nest & more than 1 mate! I'm just as disgusted as you are! ++ chicks fledge at same time, bickering constant & ear-splitting! Parents abuse chicks who leave home! Parents start humping again! Clearly not just humans stupid & sexually incontinent!

Joe Tibbetts @joetibbetts.bsky.social · 15/08/2024

PODCAST REVIEW No4 - Slightly Foxed - some English women discus out-of-print essential reading sometimes with fascinating guests. Civilised, civilising, informative, entertaining, comfort food + more than a hint of spice, 4*, a must listen if you like books, writers, literary gossip, honey for tea

Joe Tibbetts @joetibbetts.bsky.social · 15/08/2024

PODCAST REVIEW #3 Origin Story. Two men, one much given to hysterical giggling, unpick the documented histories of concepts/beliefs, people, events, and locations. Lefty, liberal, rigorous, funny, erudite, informative, entertaining and slightly camp. 5 out of 5. A must listen.

000

Joe Tibbetts @joetibbetts.bsky.social · 15/08/2024

PODCAST REVIEW #2 The Rest is Politics US. A man and a woman, both well embedded in US politics, do their considerable best to work out why and how the Shining City on The Hill became so tarnished and what might happen in the near future to tarnish its reputation even further. 4 out of 5

Joe Tibbetts @joetibbetts.bsky.social · 15/08/2024

PODCAST REVIEW #1 The Rest is Politics. Two men, one a lefty liberal former Tory MP & Cabinet Minister , the other a former Labour government apparatchik now slightly to the right of Attila the Hun, drop the names of "B" list celebs they know and compete for the smuggest man of the year award.
