Capel Cwmorthin, north Wales. It's already in a more ruined state than when this photo was taken in 2024. #photography #monochrome #trees #heritage #cymru #wales

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Mass complaints about a £1.33 per night tourist tax in Wales. Milan? 10 Euro per night, the place full of tourists. In Wales, we need the money to repair idiotic damage to all our heritage sites by tourism.

Indeed. Scotland seems to be seeing the light and imposing new rules, some say edging towards a ban. I'm hoping Cymru will do the same.

It's entirely in-keeping with what the young, highly-qualified graduates I'm in contact with report. Hardly statistics, but I don't think there's any room to doubt the underlying claim that AI has undermined the employment market. It is, after all, how AI is being pushed on businesses: cost-cutting.

It's a rapidly-developing societal and political crisis. Deep social unrest is likely, unless the political class quickly come up with an alternative for people to keep their minds off overthrowing that class for simply allowing the elite to run the show. Burnham's £2 bus fares won't cut it.

wire-less.bsky.social @wire-less.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
We've reached a point where the elite are terribly excited about being able to cut their costs dramatically - especially through cutting expensive staff. But where will people earn money to pay for the goods and services the elite produce, once the majority have been displaced from the workplace?

wire-less.bsky.social @wire-less.bsky.social · 24/08/2026
Somewhat simplistic. But ultimately, not too far off the mark. Every time I try to speak to a Boomer, they say they'd prefer not to discuss politics (i.e. working age people's issues), because "there's nothing I can do to change it". Which is odd, coming from the most influential age group of all.

The reports I'm getting from a recent graduate in subjects previously highly sought-after in the financial industry, and in London, where there used to be plenty of opportunities, says that all the traditional starter jobs have gone to AI. It's not theoretical; it's a catastrophe fully underway.

My son's just finishing his M.Pharm. - you know, to be a pharmacist - contributing to NHS cancer treatment. And the help he has had financially from the state that needs (if not really wants) medical staff? Zero. Zilch. Why would anyone hang around in the NHS when they are treated like this?

Reform's a party made to gather the thickos and racists together. They are a substantial part of society, sadly.

wire-less.bsky.social @wire-less.bsky.social · 13/08/2026
As is Reform's tendency to attack people who reveal what's going on. Tice is now trying to force 'The Guardian' to reveal its sources, suing the NCA, etc. True Trumpian 'flood the zone' tactics. Tice says those who "want a war have got a war". The Guardian need only roll-out its reserve cards now.

Attaching to the other thing. No matter what it is and how ridiculous; just so long as it's not what the others are doing. She seems to have missed the point that the traditional old-age body of Tory voters is simply dying out.

Where you see a country, Trump and Cronie Co. see 'wealth to steal'. That so many people still follow his cult is testament to how far all this was assisted by stupid people, empowered with a keyboard to punch and social media as the outlet.

Astonishing satellite images today and how obviously dry most of England is. The ground is clearly scorched across the country, with Wales remaining relatively green, even though it, too, has seen anything from only 3% to 8% of the expected rainfall in the past month. #climate #drought

Flamin' heated grips that don't grip the handlebar and, much more dangerously, the throttle. The throttle side slipped today, resulting in a rather fast idle start. A quick spray of carpet glue soon fixed that and has kept the clutch side fixed for years. #motorbikes

Some think they will be OK for their lifetimes. Or, they have enough money, they imagine, to be able to decamp to some place where none of the effects, of which there are more than their pathetic minds think) will impact them. Certainly, they don't care about their own children and their children.

Indeed. I wondered yesterday how many group litigation cases might now be in contemplation across Europe against fossil fuel companies. At some point, the consequences have to come home in a very real way for these money-is-all psychopaths.

A bit difficult to embrace a warmer climate, when there's no water left and crop yields collapse. Evidence, if ever you needed it, that the rich are perfectly happy to destroy the planet for money, and care nothing for the future. Utter, idiotic selfishness.

wire-less.bsky.social @wire-less.bsky.social · 30/07/2026
@mrjamesob.bsky.social Climate change isn't just about heat. It's about a lack of water (severe across large swathes of the UK, regardless of season). It's about reduced or failed crop yields. I could go on.

Heath came from a very working-class background. But he was hardly that himself. Making social progress seems to have equated, like it did for so many back then, to completely distancing yourself from where you came. My parents were the same.

Which means we can all merrily forget about John Cleese. Not that the majority of the population any longer know who he is, anyway. He could have grown old and irrelevant with grace. But, no; not the men of the Empire.

A lovely cameo appearance in a 1276 letter from Edward I's court where, like a wave that passes, only to fade again forever, we learn about Gruffudd, son of a man known as 'Budr i Hossan' (Welsh: 'Dirty his Hose'). #history #medieval #wales #cymru
