He creates many alt accounts for this sole purpose

Of course, the main problem with the Corporation is that news thinks it's the reason the BBC exists. It isn't. In the formative years of the Corporation, news was a part of it, but it wasn't the main event. The BBC's reputation was only partially made by news. The other stuff matters more.

Not that anyone will learn a single thing from this, but let it serve as yet another example of the futility of trying to appease right-wing extremists. No matter how much you try to meet them halfway, they will still paint you as insufficiently servile to their ideology.

Would anybody be up for an XTC Listening Party here on Bluesky sometime? Just gauging interest for now.

Gilson Lavis has left the building... one of those who truly influenced me in my formative years. The closest I ever got to him was being on stage briefly at The Venue for Squeeze's Play tour... RIP to one of the greatest UK drummers. 💔

Something that is true to me, is that XTC have had the best drummers. @cheeseford.bsky.social and others who love XTC will agree. Who is your favourite drummer, and why?

No posts recently, sorry.

Still strugglimg with the mental anguish over the redundancy that looms heavily over my head.

My family are my rock. They are as worried as I am.

It may be just bricks and mortar, but I love the home that my family have grown up in. I can't lose it.

Struggling with so many emotions right now.

The anniversary today of my dad's passing (his birthday would have been tomorrow). My work making me redundant after 11 1/2 years of loyal service. The threat of losing the house if I don't get a job.

Not coping well...

If you don't want people calling you a cunt and telling you to fuck off, have you considered not being a cunt, you cunt? Now fuck off.
uh, discover feed is the default.

if you don't want people asking about the things you POST TO THE PUBLIC ON SOCIAL MEDIA then stop fucking posting to social media, or maybe restrict replies or even, and i get that this is difficult, provide an ounce of context.

Just got a hoax call about my crypto cash being blocked (oh no, oh wait I don't have any) but the AI voice knew my name (though it sounded slightly autotuned and wrong). Once they've got this perfected we are going to live in a scary world! Good luck everyone.

Even if I didn't own a car, this would make me want to buy SOME FUCKING ESSO.
Factoid: It’s the weekend & time for a useless fact (so what’s new?) but this long-running tune for UK Esso TV advertising from the late ‘70s & well into the ‘80s was composed by Jeff Wayne, the same person who composed the musical version of ‘War of the Worlds’…
