Seriously Labour Party, you need to get a grip & start informing people of what you’re doing AND why. And by why, I don’t mean the same old “the previous government” trite. I mean WHY what you’re doing is good and will lead to “a good feeling”.

Hi, @mrjamesob.bsky.social, with some of the questions you raised on today’s show : Emma Kennedy presented a great episode of her podcast “Why” regarding people falling for misinformation.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social : Ozzy was such a huge star that it’s sometimes hard to quantify for people not aware. From the absolute tragedies in his life & his rebirths & reinventions. Almost always ahead of the curve. And such a sense of humour embracing the “satanic” accusations in good grace.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social What baffles me about the anti-trans culturewarmongers is that they’ll argue vehemently against preferred pronouns but throw an absolute fit when Boris gets called Alexander (his designated birth name)…..

@mrjamesob.bsky.social The drink question : It’s because you’re on holiday! That’s why Guinness tastes better in Dublin. Estrella tastes better on the beach in Spain. You’re in a more relaxed, happier state of mind.

An idea for pub jukebox companies : include a playlist function that tells people what’s been selected when they put their money in.
1) this lets people know if it’s just on random play.
2) also lets people see if they’re doubling up on something.
3) it’s just a good idea OK.

Tuned in to #LBC to listen to @lewisgoodall.com but there’s someone called @mrjamesob.bsky.social on instead. He’s quite good. Hope they keep him around, Lewis could do with a break…

I absolutely love “The Talisman”, a collaboration between Stephen King & Peter Straub. However, for some reason, I cannot get into “The Black House”. 🤷♂️
Its so stark how if you're over 30ish you grew up in a world that idolised - & I mean fully *worshipped as a bedrock cultural law* - the idea that you should challenge yourself/become something better by trying something new... & now advertising-led tech is all like 'nah babe this isn't your thing'
"Imagine a world in which an A.I. can analyze your reading patterns and alert you that you’re about to buy a book where there’s only a 10 percent chance you’ll get past Page 6..."
Fuck off. That's not empowerment, that's outsourcing your soul. That's outsouling.

Listening to @mrjamesob.bsky.social on catch up (bloomin’ work gets in the way)… British work ethic… hmm… I’m very much reminded of the arguments by Fred Sirieix where he posits that certain job roles are looked down upon or not considered “real jobs” or “proper careers”.

What if everyone qualified for welfare benefits?
Universal programs are much easier to administer than means-tested ones.

@johncanton.bsky.social On Smackdown, Garza & Carrillo were referred to as Los Garza rather than being part of Legado Del Fantasma… what’s happened with Santos Escobar? What have I missed? I saw Santos talking with Adam Pearce on Raw… 🤷♂️

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I’m listening to Mystery Hour on catch up (been at work today… boooooo!!!) and was reminded of the time, as a “tweenager”, when we went on holiday to Italy in the 1980’s. I was a “millionaire” for the best part of two weeks!! In name only obviously! Hahaha!
