How about Prof Rob Ford from Manchester and Mayor Rob Ford from Toronto… that was wild before the latter died @robfordmancs.bsky.social

Well, I thought it won’t work this year, but actually I do have a new excuse not to go to APSA. Just need to make sure I don’t continue indefinitely as I do have another 20 years of work ahead of me 🤣

Having a dog is really bad for my morale I decided. Every time I look at him I want to join him in his lovely looking nap… (It’s dark which doesn’t help as too hot outside to open the blinds)

Randomly spotted in Manchester on our socialist bus. Don’t you love all the woke malarkey. Certainly do love that one, and it brings back the memories when those lines meant the world to a shocked city 🖤

Manchester you’re missing a trick. As you’re scrambling to find a seat in the sun at pubs&bars across the city here is a near-empty exciting Roses game in full sun with pints and pies

Should the FT journalists talk to each other? 🤔

It is. They are just so lovely and joyful. Mine is also funny looking (not only in silly outfits, though this helps) so he puts a smile on strangers’ faces as we walk past. Always makes my day that.

Actually food seems cheaper in the UK than in many places too… wonder what makes overall ‘cost of living’ so much more then…

Who decides the order in which BBC news stories appear? An SNL scratch controversy above a bombing of hospital? Really?

Extremely proud of my healthy lunch today. I’m definitely going to be very hungry later and stuff myself with crisps… but right now feeling very smug

A gorgeous day in Manchester today. And that little tiny black dot in the distance is my delighted doggie

Isn’t my kid a genius? An apt commentary on political polarisation with original drawing

- overall highlight of 2024 Wilson… honestly, if you’ve not ever had a dog it’s hard to explain… dogs are just the best (soz, cat people) END 8/8

While some stayed up to watch the shit hit the walls across the pond, I watched my puppy’s shit hit my floor many times throughout the night. Not sure if he is available for any other political forecasts, but I’m tired out and not able to add anything clever to what just happened

Experimenting with video by posting the optimistic video from my garden: the bees are alive and well, the reason why you can’t see any is that they are all on my asters

For the first time, my puppy chose lying on the sunshine over lying next to me. He’s all grown up I guess 🥺
