Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 08/10/2026How the actual f___ is Adrienne Barbeau 81 years old?!?!? 050
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 05/10/2026Got me a nice big one with a slipcase and poster and art prints and a patch and scribblings. 161
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 22/09/2026‘Mutant’ was a ubiquitous video rental shop poster when I was a kid - your post has inspired me to give this a spin. 110
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Why does the BBC feel it necessary to report the ramblings of a racist tax exile who lives in Monaco on the the ‘state’ of the UK. He doesn’t pay his fair share of tax here so no-one should give a rat’s arse about the shit that drops out of his rotting brain. 181
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 07/09/2026September the 7th seems to come earlier every year! FFS @sainsburys.bsky.social !!! 030
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Why is none of this on the BBC New apps/website? Instead we have this!! Disgusting. 010
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 01/09/2026It’s more complicated than that. And there’s nothing in the rules of the puzzle that precludes loan words. 100
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Literally sold this on eBay two weeks ago, after it had languished in my cellar office for about 26 years. 010
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 22/08/2026They’re ’Truck Nutz’ - they even have the hanging hole and everything. It’s that straightforward. 010
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Yes, I do have an insane collection. HMV’s free postage threshold is £25. There’s no issue with offering alternatives is there? 🤷🏻♂️ 220
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 17/08/2026Sean Hughes was the inspiration for a highly toxic character in Caitlin Moran’s novel ‘How To Be Famous’. Not something she’s said publicly, but I had it from her lips. I blame autocorrect for the extraneous ‘e’ - I offer a photo of my whisky collection as proof of good faith. 010
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 17/08/2026First paperback editions with the black and white covers were Futura, predating the Abacus edition which didn’t appear until 1990. Even better if signed by the man himself in a student union back in 1989. 170
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 17/08/2026They know EU citizens with settled status can vote right? Right?!? Then again, if they haven’t even noticed that there are more than enough PIP claimants in their constituencies to wipe out their majorities. 010
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Dear BBC (tagging in @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social for lack of any other obvious BBC account on here). What the actual fuck do you think you are playing at with this headline on the BBC News website and app?!!!?!? The simple addition of the word ‘claim’ would fix this if you were actual journalists! 393
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 14/08/2026Bought a cool pin badge and it came in a padded envelope with a couple of cool unfranked stamps (rather than the generic new QR coded ones). One of which may (or may not) be of specific interest to @finger-post.blog (will happily send it on to you if you want it and don’t already have one). 010
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 13/08/2026There’s a side chapel in Palma Cathedral that, as far as I can tell, is dedicated to Dagon!!! 020
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Totality was somewhat buggered by a low strip of cloud out at sea in just the wrong place, but we were then treated to something very unusual by way of compensation. A crescent sunset. 020
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Pretty sure if I keep heading in this direction there’ll be dinosaurs. 🦖🦕 050
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 10/08/2026One of these things is not like the others. Seriously, who curates these things, and moreover, who on Earth buys them?!! 110
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 08/08/2026Me being attacked on the banks of the Han river in the Summer of 2023. 030
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Was looking through a pile of vinyl singles at my dad’s the other day, and came across the very first single that I owned, when I was three years old! 130
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Why? He’s talking about re-establishing safe routes (closed by the Tories) to prevent criminal gangs sending poor desperate people out on dodgy dinghies potentially to their deaths. Read beyond the headline. 030
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Yes and they need to come via routes which Burnham suggests he’ll re-open after the Tories closed them all down. Stopping criminal gangs sending poor desperate people to drown in dinghies isn’t a bad thing. It’s possible for these two things to coexist and reading beyond selective headlines helps. 010
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 03/08/2026You can want to stop dangerous small boat crossings whilst reopening other safe routes. Get beyond the headline and that’s what he says he intends to do. This is sensible political communication as it shuts down the ‘small boats’ attack line that is perpetually weaponised by the far right. 000
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 02/08/2026As long as a substantial part of the answer is safe routes, then it’s the right direction of travel (in a manner of speaking). He needs to shut down the whole ‘small boats’ nonsense that’s been weaponised by the far right. This from the BBC on the same story. 100
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 02/08/2026My bathroom scales did this at me this morning. The future is weird. 450
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 30/07/2026Anyhow - here’s a nice bowl of blackberries - and there’ll be at least two more bowls by the end of the day if I have anything to do with it. 010
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 21/07/2026They made a sitcom about this - Shelley (1988-1992) 020
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 21/07/2026It's true, Odysseus should've been played by an actual Greek. 010
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 21/07/2026It's true, Odysseus should've been played by an actual Greek. 060
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Got me some folklore in liquid form whilst the halftime bullshit is happening. 010
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Ancient Greeks wore dreadlocks. These fucking aryan bullshit losers never bother to do even the most basic reading. 030
Mark Slater @markslater.bsky.social · 19/07/2026We know for a fact that dreadlocks were worn in Ancient Greece. These pricks never feel the need to do even the most basic reading. 031
