Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Maybe the guy has a bot - all his account does is reply to people discussing Ludwig (based on a cursory glance). Really should have bbc.co.uk in the Bluesky username / handle.bbc.co.ukBBC - HomeThe best of the BBC, with the latest news and sport headlines, weather, TV & radio highlights and much more from across the whole of BBC Online. 011
Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Bah. Also, dramatic stakes are somewhat lower now Ludwig isn’t pretending to be his brother. Still, almost perfect BBC crime drama nevertheless. 010
Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 14/09/2026She’s still great, but her character in eps1-3 felt somewhat nerfed from the first series. Making really whimsical / irrational decisions, hardly any trauma from the loss of her husband anymore etc. Perhaps this changes in eps 4-6? 250
Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 14/09/2026I guess it’s not the Nicky Campbell from ITV’s Wheel of Fortune and BBC 5Live, then. 001
Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Yeah, we had that in Zurich on Tuesday. Was incredible how quickly it started to turn into a storm. 110

Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Who is the CDU’s Andy Burnham to their current Keir Starmer? 110
Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 02/09/2026www.bbc.com/news/uk-1177... You have the missing evidence required to charge the guy or something? Or you simply can’t believe it?bbc.comNo charges for MI5 officer accused over Binyam MohamedThere is insufficient evidence to prosecute an MI5 officer accused of complicity in the mistreatment of Binyam Mohamed, the CPS says. 100
Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 02/09/2026Nah, he just resigned to gift Burnham a backslap on his way out. I wouldn’t slander him so much - at some point the man did a lot of pro bono human rights lawyering. And he got rid of Corbyn, meaning the very weak door to getting out a failing Tory government could be opened. Corbyn never could. 100
Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 31/08/2026I’m amazed that even the AI used to generate this still can’t use the possessive apostrophe correctly. 1100
Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Apparently they are leaving France - then proportion of homes with them has dropped massively over time. If the graphic I saw once on Instagram is correct, that is. 000
Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 30/08/2026Almost 20 years ago, someone brought a massive Toblerone into work and gave me single chunk from it. I ate it on one day. Who knew you could get “chocolate sweats”? (Presumably the small amounts of caffeine and oubaine in it x ~half a kilo) 010

Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 22/08/2026It was mostly done either by or at the behest of American troops. Make of that what you will. 000
Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Have to disagree. It’s not even the first YA magic school phenomenon. It’s simply the scale of it all with HP. I remember back in 2000 or so, my brother was doing TEFL in Japan and got me to go to a book signing in Edinburgh by Darren Shan, get a book signed and post it to 🇯🇵. Huge queues and buzz. 0100

Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 09/08/2026The “afterlife” is like basically pension plan money you give to the church. In Switzerland they even take it direct from the paycheck! The payout never goes to the next of kin - and you have to die to get it. Genius business model. Take the boss and his son’s word for it. “Belief” isn’t a virtue. 000
Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 09/08/2026Ah, the ABH concept. Average back home - but exotic when abroad. 000

Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I’ve had peer review comments on scientific manuscripts like that. It burns so much time rebutting this crap. 010

Mark Hillen @markhillen.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Just spent a week in New York. In the diners in which I was eating breakfast, there was always a TV on with some news channel (Spectrum, mostly). They were CONSTANTLY banging on about this pied-à-terre tax and the poor pensioners that it will hit. 3170
