By planning badly I have finished Colin from Accounts and Ted Lasso in the same week and am now feeling slightly bereft. Any suggestions for a series in a similar vein to the above? Please and thank you #speirgorm

If you haven’t read @jamesgwriter.bsky.social book yet then you should. Prob in my top 3 books of this year. Fabulous characters. Full of kindness and decency. @sullydaysleeper.bsky.social I think you would like it.

you don’t hold "AI" accountable; you hold AI developers, vendors, and corporations that profit off it accountable holding "AI accountable" is like holding a toaster accountable. it's an inanimate object. it doesn't have wishes, feelings, or desires

Not sure if “aggressive overconfidence with an undertone of self entitlement” are characteristics I’ve ever sought out in my wines. #speirgorm

Gorgeous early morning light in the inner city. #speirgorm

So very sorry to hear this. Sarah was the power and the brains behind WIMIN - her energy and passion in the face of her illness were truly inspiring. Rest in peace Sarah and condolences to her family and friends.

Spending an hour browsing vinyls in a tiny and chaotic record store discussing music in broken Franglais with the owner was one of the highlights of our recent holiday. Claude can fro with his “vinyl mode”.

Somewhere there’s a “heartwarming” post about how his coworkers donated their leave so this elderly man could recover from his heart attack. A grim indictment on American healthcare and employment rights.

If fuel taxes are to be cut then I want those supporting (govt/tds/protestors) those tax cuts to state what other public services/projects are going to be underfunded/cancelled to pay for those cuts. Let the electorate know the cost of those cuts. And then seen how much support they have #speirgorm

Who are the dolts who keep doing this? (I don’t think this is the first time the area has been vandalized) May they be haunted for the rest of their lives.

"It will happen this way. You may be walking. Maybe the first sunny day of the spring. And your phone messenger will alert. First one, then three, then eight. Perhaps some will call. You will hear car horns honking. Joyfully. People will begin to pour out in the street . . ."

Think I’ve broken my Donal Ryan curse. Really enjoying this book (having not been able to get into any of his previous books. I may have to revisit them now). #booksky #speirgorm
Image of a book cover. The book is “where are the kings” by Donal Ryan. The book cover is sky blue with an image of a boy leaping into the air under a fluffy white cloud.

What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you've seen it.
Still from Derry Girls - grandpa Joe has his hand on his son in laws shoulder as they watch a newsreel about a bomb explosion.
