Just a protocol droid from a galaxy far, far away... fluent in over six million forms of communication...
(Huge Star Wars fan but also real person, London, Irish, pro-EU, LibDem, design, retail, LGBTQIA, arts, wanting to relocate to France.)

I think you're right - I think it's a Ford, but I think it's a Corsair... looking at the angle of the rear lights and slight upturn of the rear bumper... 😁
A white 1966 Ford Corsair from the rear showing the rear lights and rear bumper - to help us identify one of the cars in the image on the original post to this thread...

This is from Star Wars LoFi that I listen to, but I would really like to build an apartment like this...
Basically I really, really want to live in a galaxy far, far away...
Concept artwork for the galley aboard the star yacht Stinger Mantis as it is travelling through hyperspace. The angle is low o the ground, looking up at Cal Kestis preparing food. Greez Dritus lounges in a seating area four steps down, beside exotic plants hanging in a lit refirgerator. The artwork is typical of the Star Wars 'look' - futuristic, sculptural and imaginative.

I'm sure these 'most people' would prefer to be driving an Austin Allegro too...
Usually the colour of baby poo, and usually broken down at the side of the road...
A baby-poo coloured Austin Allegro - possibly symbolising everything that was wrong with the 1970s...

Saw this on the Instagrams, but it is soooooooo true:
Screenshot that states: "Gen-X are just 45-60 year olds who look 30-40 years old, but mentally still teenagers." It is a white serif typeface on a scumbled black background.

So I have quite a nasty cough... but at least it is not the covid...
A negative covid test.

I can't help but see the #PedoPresident as #VickyPollard now... 😁
A still from Little Britain showing Matt Lucas as the character Vicky Pollard ("Yeah, but no, but yeah, but no, right?") She wears a neon pink polyester track suit zipped right up, a big gold chain, badly bleached hair tied up in a top knot with a pink scrunchie, very bad make up and an utterly vacant expression.

Kentish cottages...
A row of old Kentish cottages, with a slightly stormy autumn sky behind them.

#TreeOfTheDay A beautiful old oak in east Kent... @thekentacorn.bsky.social
A beautiful old oak tree beside a tudor half beam Kentish house. The low afternoon autumn sun rakes across one wall. The oak has lost most but not quite all of its leaves.

No one has post this yet? Really? #OneRingToRuleThemAll... #LOTR
Still photo from the Lord of the Rings films, of the One Ring. A golden band with Black Speech writing on it, illuminated by fire.

One for @privateeyenews.bsky.social : #SeparatedAtBirth ? #Musk #GrimaWormtongue
Two photos side by side, one of Grima Wormtongue - the evil agent of Saruman that corrupts Theoden in the Lord of the Rings, and one of Elon Musk - the evil agent of Trump/Putin that corrupts the internet... the resemblance is uncanny.

America... W T Holy F...???
A screen shot from BBC News "Trump [...] threatens to cut funding if Mamdani wins. A blatant, abject, grotesque negation of democracy that needs to get the senile, incontinent, toxic, depraved, nazi #PedoPresident removed.

Now you don't...
The same view of the Memorial Gardens, this time in late Spring, with most trees in full leaf. I have outlined where the Mulberry Tree used to stand.

Now you see it...
A view of the Memorial Gardens in the Precincts of Canterbury Cathedral, in early Spring, looking towards the Cathedral. I have outlined the Mulberry Tree in one corner.

Earth, 2049...
A photo of the surface of Mars, the red planet: dry red rocks, dry red sand and a dry red sky... Humanity is killing Earth and it will end up like Mars sooner rather than later... in our children's lifetimes.

I see your Dickins & Jones... and I raise you one Derry & Toms...
A very old photograph of the very old London department store, Derry & Toms - so beloved of Joan Hickson's Miss Marple...

This is going to be one of my go-to images henceforth for #DiaperDon the #MangoMobster #CriminalinChief from now on:
A screenshot of DiaperDiplomacy's BlueSky post showing the #CriminalinChief as a baby. AI generated, obviously, but hilarious. Go check it out.

Never gets old...
🎶"My milkshake brings all the c**ts to the yard..." 🎶
A lying, racist, gobshite grifter, a Russian asset, hypocritical traitor in an expensive suit getting deservedly sloshed with a milkshake - either banana or vanilla, I surmise - in what was clearly a well-staged PR stunt. The 'security' around the aforementioned gobshite are completely unconcerned, and a few bystanders are clapping and looking highly amused. This should be a weekly event...

"Cad Bane at your service. I'll take on any job... for the right price"
An image of bounty Huner Cad Bane from Star Wars. He wears a very wide brim dark hat low over his eyes, which are wide, insect-like and glittery red. His face is blue and he has no nose... The similarities to Melania are uncanny...

With all this flag-shagging going on, I think I might line the five panels of my balcony with five flags close to my heart:
EU / IE / FR / DK / Progress
(Strange that the Bluesky does not have flag emojis...)
Flag emojis: EU, Ireland, France, Denmark, Progress

This is a bit hilarious - the amount of pine in this property beggars belief!
www.french-property.com/sale-propert...
A screen grab from a property listing in France. The room is an empty bedroom and it is completely lined in pine planks - floor, ceiling, walls, shelves, surfaces. Pine overkill!

It's not really beyond the realms of reason for the layman to extrapolate a CF of 50% to '5 days out of 10' though, is it? I'd love to hear the detail of why that's so wide of the mark.

Oh... what could have, should have, been...
*Quietly despairs of humanity*
A publicity still of Kamala Harris: vice-president under Joe Biden and Democratic party presidential candidate. Set before the US flag, Kamala wears a navy jacket and is smiling broadly. Every inch the public servant, Kamala was beaten to the Presidency by a convicted felon, convicted sex-pest and failed 'businessman', an incontinent sociopathic, narcissistic, lying grifter that should be in jail, not in the White House.
