Paul Kirkley @paulkirkley.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Loved writing for this terrific celebration of 50* years of Star Wars, recalling life as a child in 70s/80s Britain, when the thrill of seeing C3PO on Swap Shop or Darth Vader on Pebble Mill was the nearest thing we had to actual SW "content". Out now from whatever newsagents still exist. (*nearly) 261
Paul Kirkley @paulkirkley.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Lib Dems will be in an interesting position at the next GE. Normally, you have to deny any plans to enter into a coalition. This time, Ed Davey can say it with the biggest stage wink. 220

Paul Kirkley @paulkirkley.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Interesting how the headlines are still making this about Widdicombe, when all the comments - and I mean *all* the comments - are about how he and Johannes just need to swap places. Which seems blindingly obvious to anyone with a brain. (Paging the #Strictly producers.) 140

Reposted by Paul KirkleyEddie Robson @eddierobson.bsky.social · 27/09/2026I find it strange that some people refuse to believe this is the way our decentralised culture works now, that it's possible to be completely ignorant of hugely popular things that don't match your tastes and interests. People aren't lying about that because they think it makes them look cool. 7762896

Paul Kirkley @paulkirkley.bsky.social · 21/09/2026As someone said on here recently, a feature of late-stage capitalism is that corporations seem increasingly resentful at having to provide actual goods or services, and would really rather we just keep sending them money. 0284
Paul Kirkley @paulkirkley.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Deleted yesterday's mildly critical post about Josh Widdicombe because I can see he's becoming a victim of unpleasant online bullying.
