In the middle of the UK. Cricket, cats, coasts, calm. Most likely to order a flat white and a cheese twist. Thank God we have this government. Just imagine…

@mrjamesob.bsky.social my 15 year old daughter is in GCSE year and choosing 16-18 options. She’s trying to think so far ahead it’s adding to already heavy anxiety - A Levels or other qualifications, for which courses, at which universities, for which careers, with what economic prospects.

Feels like Starmer and Macron were part of the set up. Warmth, false security, backslapping and then bang - Zelenskyy’s the bad guy and praise to Putin. Sickening.

Sunshine in Salcey Forest this morning. Spirits uplifted #northampton

6 in 10 people in the UK have unfavourable opinions of #Trump and #Musk. That's not just the reasonable people on Bluesky, that's a representative UK sample, from research by Ipsos. Feels like the the other 4 are making an awful lot of noise. www.ipsos.com/en-uk/6-10-b...

Frosty morning walk in Abington Park. Frozen ponds and crunchy grass, about as refreshing, clean and uncomplicated as life gets these days #Northampton #frost
Frosty ground and stark black trees with a glimpse of sunlight in a bright blue sky.

I wish I knew how. It all feels so out of control.

We’re all immune to it at this point but we have to remind ourselves that this is an abomination. A catastrophe. A grotesque corruption. And a betrayal of the millions who fought and sacrificed in the great wars of the 20th Century to escape a world that works like this.

#Outnumbered Christmas special is about the worst thing I’ve ever seen on TV 🙄

Is it even Christmas if you don’t sit around with your family watching cats attack AI lizards on the TV?

I love the concept of an FA Cup for women's cricket and it's exciting to see the draw go right through to the final. This news is one of the very few reasons I'm still hanging out with Twitter. The sooner cricket, especially Northants, gets onto BlueSky, the better! #cricket #ecb #steelbacks

I found this 'In Case of War' brochure from the Swedish government fascinating, and wonder if there's something similar for the UK. Also, because I've read way too many dystopian novels, I think I know most of this stuff.

Gladiator II vs Gladiator. So similar it's more of a tribute film than a sequel, but entertaining and visually gorgeous. Plus there's Paul Mescal, and a warrior rhino and some Hunger Games style mutant monkeys. Teen daughter and I thought it was loads of blood and gore and fun.

I need to stop watching #GMB. I realised my body tenses up during interviews as the presenters (Madeley & Reid to Bridget Phillipson this morning) talk over guests, ignore answers & lay traps. No useful info gets shared. I hate this combative gotcha culture, it debases both politics & journalism 😡

My daughter won’t commit to Bluesky until Villa and Cobblers do. We’re missing a bunch of sports clubs and commentators that would make a big difference. #avfc #ntfc #football

So if it's a trade choice between: a) chlorinated chicken, plastic cheese, nasty chocolate and b) European food, beer & wine... ...I confess, I have a strong preference for the latter.

This is officially the first UK news story that broke for me on Bluesky, not Twitter. Hallelujah, it’s happening.

A quick social experiment. The same tweet, posted at the same time on here and on Twitter, commenting on @joannahs.bsky.social’s brilliant piece on the exodus of criminal barristers. Bluesky replies on the left. Twitter on the right.

@darrellmills.bsky.social I’m also a newbie. I joined a while back but there was nobody here, it’s different now. Welcome, from your first follower 👍

This seems beautifully appropriate 🦋🦋🦋 @buitengebieden.bsky.social and the cute animal pics are here, so guess I can delete Twitter now.

Came here for another cleanse after being sullied in the other place. Must visit more often, it’s beautifully calm. Though the UK seems quiet today, and I’m grateful.

What if Kemi Badenoch is making up stories so she can resign for misleading parliament….? You know, like that time Suella sent that email to herself.

I heard cats are popular on Bluesky. If you’re angry about UK politics and love a cat pic, you know what to do…. #catsofbluesky #arehashtagsathinghere
