If you're a black person accused of academic fraud, the british press and political elite will harass you until you kill yourself. If you're a racism denialist accused of sexual crimes against children, the british press and political elite will *immediately* deploy the wall of silence.

Whatever they said, whatever they did, they didn't mean it. So it's OK, right?

I don’t care where you started out on the political spectrum If your kid comes out as trans & you don’t become a rainbow-clad, parade-cheering ally & rock-solid supportive girl/boy/enby dad/mom? You were never a parent at all You were a doll collector furious they didn’t stay in their packaging.

I do recall walking on the beach one balmy Hallowe'en weekend in Achill, over 20 years ago. That was bonkers then, it's still bonkers now. Similarly, it was 25C in Budapest on Friday, it would normally be ~ 10-12.

The Jarrow March began #OTD in 1936, when 200 unemployed men set off from the northeast English town of Jarrow to march nearly 300 miles to London. Protesters sought to draw government attention to extreme poverty and a staggering 70–80% unemployment rate. youtu.be/198t_7lOjpg?...

Is there any research published on the possible effect of the reflected light and heat from intesive solar farming? Just curious.

Nasty actions like this should not be tolerated. Silence in cases like this is endorsement.

Didn't know the "On a Friday" bit. I briefly played in a band named "Died of a Tuesday", as a tribute to Elvis Presley. We soon changed it to 75% Bicycle, in tribute to Flann O'Brien.

There was a failed musical stage version in the 90s starring one of the Goss brothers.

I do hate brand names and logos emblazoned across t-shirts and sweaters. Should be outlawed - or the garments should be free.

Fiach Mac Aodha @rockyroader.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Oh yes - even in the house, unless it's the children playing, there's no music at all. I can't stand that at home - I almost always have some music playing. If my neighbour was unimpressed, he was too polite to say so!

Fiach Mac Aodha @rockyroader.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Not even if you got the t-shirt as a gift?

Fiach Mac Aodha @rockyroader.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

Indeed. When we discovered we'd bought a house next door to a professional musician, I fully expected loud music and noise morning, noon, and night. But, when his children are asleep anyway - nothing!
