Anybody able to tell me who this person is and how they've managed to block me twice in two days?
A Bsky message telling me that @live365days.com has somehow managed to block me twice in two days - I would have thought once would be enough for anyone

Well I'm not really qualified to talk about TV nowadays anyway, as Channel 4 have just reminded me...

Keep seeing this "enforced veganism" and trying to understand the mindset that would unproblematically see this as a bad thing (the veganism part, not necessarily the "enforced" element)

From The Lie of AI by @wesleygoatley.bsky.socialThe Idler 104,August - September 2025
Al is a lie. Given that Artificial Intelligence only truly exists in fiction and bogus marketing, "Al" is not a technology, it's a brand. Like all brands, it's an idea that's used to sell things that make alluring promises to the consumer. In the case of AI, it sells the promise of futuristic beyond-human thinking machines that are so powerful they will either save or destroy the world (depending on your ideological position), and therefore we must empower the companies who produce these technologies to either speed their development, or to save us from them.

No, no, it must be true - The Daily Mail says so...
"Socialism rules". And is the "socialism" in the room with us right now?
Daily Mail front page with the sub head "The economy's moribund. Socialism rules. Police come knocking if you say or think the wrong thing. Now, in an authoritarian new plan that'll make Britain even more like East Germany, citizens will be forced to carry ID cards"

"If we could come to terms with the fact that the English people in particular are the product of invaders, settlers, slaves and traders from throughout the world since the earliest humans walked here..."
Cover of The Earliest English by Samantha Glaswell, featuring a Saxon cross against a black background Only by studying the past can people understand the society they live in. We are the heirs to those in this country that came before us, whether or not they were our biological ancestors. The decisions they made and actions they took affect how we live today. This book has tried to look at the lives of the earliest English, peoples who invaded and settled this land, as many had done before and as many have done since. Theirs was a multicultural society. Yet, in the early twenty-first century, we are so ignorant of this that an MP can complain of asylum seekers diluting the Anglo-Saxon gene pool. If we could come to terms with the fact that the English people in particular are the product of invaders, settlers, slaves and traders from throughout the world since the earliest humans walked here, then perhaps we could learn to understand and celebrate our rich and wonderful culture rather than seeing our diverse origins as barriers.

Not a religionist in any shape or form, but for once I hope they get their wish
A Dan Collins cartoon of people standing in a street strewn with clothes. In the foreground a man is holding up a pair of trousers, saying "The Rapture! It happened! We've been left behind!" In the background happy people say "At last, we're free!" and "Yippee! All the religion whackos are gone!"

The Daily Mail's ongoing and delusional attempt to paint Kier Starmer as some kind of rabid Trot would be funny, if it didn't mean that they will ultimately be endorsing politicians who are far right nutjobs by way of contrast
