The BBC has sunk lower and lower in its standards. It used to be my first port of call but now I just have a look to see what click bait they’re pushing today.

If the guy was left wing, social media would be drowning in his posts. The fact that they wiped him off social media even while Kirk’s blood was congealing tells me everything I need to know.

The dead guy said it himself, deaths by gun violence are an acceptable price to pay to protect the 2nd amendment. He didn’t even deem it worth mentioning self defence. Won’t be responding to anything else you’ve got to say, but say it anyway if you like.

Why don’t you do the same? I wasn’t denying that Alcaraz did his homework. Of course he did, he’s a professional. It’s your weird assumption that Sinner didn’t do exactly the same thing, somehow giving Alcaraz the edge. Bye

That’s a weird take. Do you not think Sinner prepared in a similar way? They’re 1 and 2 in the world. That doesn’t happen by accident.

After what feels like an age I finally got a walk with my camera this morning. What I didn’t expect was that the first bird to greet me would be a buzzard #bird #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #UKBirds #Britishbirds #nature #naturephotography #Nikon #P950

Are still holding on to both physical copies of those books (unburned) and the knowledge held with in. As an aside, I also took it to be an oblique reference to the history and science that your government is changing and destroying. That was just a side thought though. Was I at least close?

Oy of Midworld @michaelgwhitehead.bsky.social · 03/09/2025
Okay, yet it’s your job to leave passive aggressive memes? How about I tell you what I thought it meant? I assumed it was a reference to the book burning that happens both it the book and in the USA at the moment. I was simply making the point that should it continue to happen, other countries

To me this “race race” is the cause of almost every global problem we have. We already don’t have enough food and air for everyone on the planet but these people are encouraging more breeding/consuption in order to compete in a make believe genetic war.

Barring in mind I was being childish and argumentative before, let me carry on for a minute. Would self-loathing make a trans person transphobic? Wouldn’t that require hating other trans people too? You don’t have to answer it’s a stupid question.

Oy of Midworld @michaelgwhitehead.bsky.social · 01/09/2025
You think so? You said you can’t have one without the other. So by your definition a racist trans person would also be transphobic.

That is supposed to be his primary concern, being British Prime minister and all that. I assume you immediately thought he meant white British families.
