Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Great to see NYT Games app supporting diversity today. Having a Strands puzzle in a language other than English was well overdue. Congrats to them for such a bold move. 000
Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Major downside of living in France, apart from the absolutely catastrophic fires this year 😩, is the scarcity of English books without paying a fortune or using the tax dodger site. Recent trip to the UK gave up this great haul including a signed @brookmyre.bsky.social from Pz What to read next? 120

Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Neither Spain nor Argentina will be likely to play anywhere like that tomorrow. Both teams must be so pissed off that they weren’t playing tomorrow night. But then again stakes wouldn’t be the same. 000

Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Maybe it’s in Tuchels contract that Kane stays on whatever happens. There’s can’t be any other logical reason. #ENGCON 100
Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Tickets booked for The Odyssey at BFI IMAX! 👍 And it seems it’s on a 24 hour loop - can’t imagine the crowd at the 4:20am showing 🤔 000
Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 29/06/2026Doing a bit of family visiting next week and mightily chuffed to discover that both @brookmyre.bsky.social and @ambroseparry.bsky.social are in conversation at the Acorn Penzance. Tickets booked straight away! 010
Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 25/06/2026Exactly this. And to think we were all worried teenagers over “home taping is killing music”. 000
Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Second extreme heat wave of the year and it’s going to be hell. Kids need to go to school, I need to go to work and we all need to sleep. But global warming is just a myth Nigel 000

Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 19/03/2026Hey there billionaires, how’s it going ? Just a thought, but if you can find 45M$ in spare change to try and block a wealth tax, then maybe you could actually afford to share a little of your obscene wealth and do some good in the world. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...theguardian.comGoogle co-founder spends $45m in fight against California billionaire taxSergey Brin gives $25m on top of $20m he’s already given to Super Pac trying to block state’s proposed 5% wealth tax 010

Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 01/07/2025Watching this from afar, but can’t help wondering what’s the difference between this and Truss’s spectacular crashing of the UK economy?

Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 22/04/2025The scandal is only a scandal because some naughty people told you about it.

Reposted by Jim ClarkJim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 15/01/2025It seems some taxes are more important to collect than others. Or perhaps, as @privateeyenews.bsky.social have argued for many years, there’s a 2 tier system where the little folk pay and the rich get special treatment. Time for serious reform of HMRC, not more cuts to vulnerable groups. 001

Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 19/12/2024Can only be humbled by Madame Pelicot. And yet I’m astonished, angry and ashamed that so many were willing, and obviously looking for an opportunity, to do what they did. Whilst an ocean away, a rapist takes power in January. I fear even more for the females of this world. 020

Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 20/11/2024What is this with people following me who already follow 30k+ others? It’s not like I’m a prolific skeeter or in any way famous. Do we all think “bot” when we see this and block instantly? 000
Jim Clark @runningape.bsky.social · 06/11/2024Just a question…what’s happens if Trump gets sentenced to time in prison before January? Asking for the world. 000
