“I’ve been looking at these ideas for over the next summer & must admit almost all my plans are for an entirely solitary life," says @lloydcole.bsky.social. But is that a smart move? Maybe not. He talks us through depression to something clearer, if not yet fixed.

I always enjoy talking with Bernard.
Not quite Dylan goes electric, but @lloydcole.bsky.social, usually "him on acoustic", touring now as one man-with-electric guitar is no small thing. What else is happening in that head? The man talks songs, books, links courses, close friends & hiding from hordes.

Only one person on this train is en route to central London to host the best radio show in the world. And what they they don’t know is that I’m also on here hoping that I’ll make it to Soho radio by 6pm.

Hey Scotland 🏴 folks, am travelling to Miami to probably just the fan zone (or to get shot) but has anyone got any angles on Boston other than hanging about all night before getting an early flight back South? Digs within a reasonable Uber are mental money at present, but flights are reasonable.

Cyclists remain hated and vilified – what would it take to shift the dial?
Abuse is common just for riding a bike

Really- I wasn’t an Obama fan at the time? but how far have values in the US fell since then?
Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?
