Which of the line of clones will this one be? Pre- or post- Snoke? 😁😘
Did you get paid? 😁😘
One thing more vexes me: my wife writes me from the country that her boy plays the rogue there, and she is weary of him, and complains also of her maid Sarah, of which I am also very sorry.
So to my office, but missing my key, which I had in my hand just now, makes me very angry and out of order, it being a thing that I hate in others, and more in myself, to be careless of keys, I thinking another not fit to be trusted that leaves a key behind their hole.
With my brother Tom’s two men I removed all my goods out of Sir W. Pen’s house into one room that I have with much ado got ready at my house, and so I am to be quit of any further obligation to him.
She banged on the table and broke the plates; she jeered at the passing inebriates

I'm on a couple of block lists simply 'cos of people I follow, eg, 'Followers of Alistair Campbell'... some people are weird...
Oh dear god...
Ah, no... blocked for me too now... I guess Nick blocked him since. Basically it was saying KS is a right-wing clone.
Very much this:
Will MAGA fawn over Vance as much as they do over the #MangoMobster?
1776: The barley coming-up unequally is not yet ripe. Hops promise to be very small.
Up betimes at my lodging and to my office and among my workmen, and then with Sir W. Batten and Sir W. Pen by coach to St. James’s, this being the first day of our meeting there by the Duke’s order.
Of the many, many utterly brilliant David Sylvian songs this is one of my favourites.
But the week after the August bank holiday *still* has the back-to-school feel to it, forty years later... it always will...
Yep - my village two miles away is almost entirely Green...
Outstanding! 😍
Just had to go into Faversham... horrified and nauseated by the amount of St George's flags. Almost every lamp-post on the main streets. I'd expect it of Sittingbourne, but I thought Faversham was better than that... 🤮
He's such a septic little slug. Delusions of grandeur - certainly not a senior minister or Privy Councillor, and as far from 'honourable' as it is possible to get... And every word out of his mouth will be a lie...
That was an absolutely incredible Burn! #BurningMan - When pyromancy is truly an art form... #FOMO #WishIwasThere www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOpk... The Brun starts 23 mins in.
Had news that Sir W. Pen would be in town from Ireland, which I much wonder at, he giving so little notice of it, and it troubled me exceedingly what to do for a lodging, and more what to do with my goods, that are all in his house.
1776: Mr Woods of Chilgrove thinks he improves his flock by turning the east-country poll-rams among his horned ewes. The east-country poll sheep have shorter legs, & finer wool; & black faces, & spotted fore-legs; & a tuft of wool in their foreheads. Much corn of all sorts still abroad. Was...
Delicious!
The hand is far too large to be realistic... #PedoPresident #TinyHands
You might well ask whether the current clickbait-orientated client propagandist media is creating a permissive environment for this kind of racist abuse.
you just know somebody’s being called by their full name right now
Dear Americans, welcome to the thrilling game of ‘Did this dictator die or just disappear for a day?’ We’ve been playing it with Putin and Lukashenko for decades. Enjoy the suspense.
All three equally good. But must admit, addition of apple to salad will always lift it out of the ordinary...
All of us if and when Emperor Orange Fuckwit is finally revealed as deceased... #YubNub #CelebrateTheLove #StarWars #DeathToFascism
Peas and spinach walking around like those kids with their sweatpants under their buttocks...
Obi-Wan Kenobi: I felt a disturbance in the Force. As if millions of champagne bottles cried out in terror... and were suddenly popped.
Will MAGA fawn over Vance as much as they do over the #MangoMobster?
So please, for the love of god Lewis, tell me why all of your compatriots in the media insist on continually amplifying the minority and ignoring the majority... I know it's all clickbait these days but IT HAS GOT TO STOP.
Massive massive massive #FOMO - dawn has broken across the Playa at #BurningMan. Even with 50 mph winds and rain storms, I still wish I was there... burningman.org/live-webcast/
While you were sleeping, Iowa Democrat Catelin Drey flipped a ruby red state Senate seat with a 20 point swing against Trump, breaking the GOP supermajority. If you’re wondering why Republicans are rigging maps, this is what they’re afraid of.
It's always all about the money... clickbait, ragebait, shockbait - whatever you want to call it - it's filling all their pockets.
Profoundly important from @davidallengreen.bsky.social. The lack of meaningful restraints against executing power in our system leaves us utterly exposed in the face of a Reform government. They could do whatever they want. open.substack.com/pub/emptycit...
So the word wheel in today's Metro contains the words 'Trump' 'true' 'turd'... I'll leave it at that and probs not bother with the other thirty odd words...
It's a Trump phrase. It means "absolutely no one but me is saying it, and it is a complete and utter lie"...
Slava Ukraini 💙💛
In other words, cowardice. Labour has a brexit open goal of small boats since brexit that Farage is stirring up hatred over. They could kill his argument and make him own the consequences of his brexit but no.
1825: James Billings shot a Cuckoo to day on one of his Plumb trees - it was very like the sparrow hawk in color but it had a strait bill & very thin short yellow legs neither of which seemed able to turn assailants in its own defence for it had only its wing broke & lived a long while it peckd...
I cannot more strongly recommend this post.
No, i fear that it really isn't these days. Those of us that are, (at least I hope we are) are too few and too powerless. It's hopeless, frankly.
Public opinion on the ECHR is fairly inchoate and figures would change in a campaign/depending on framing. But support for remaining in the convention has tended to be around 50%. Support for leaving around 30%. When we asked in July there was an uptick in support for reamining.
Whoever needs reminding: the Convention on Human Rights is one of the greatest achievements of European civilisation, following one of its greatest tragedies. For us to leave it would not only undermine all our own rights and freedoms, it would be a completely immoral abdication of responsibility.
1825: Recievd a letter from the Editor of a new Annual Almanack of the Muses or Souvenir or Forget me not or some such things intended to be published by Messrs Baynes & Son of Paternoster Row requesting me to send a contribution
1776: While the cows are feeding in moist low pastures, broods of wagtails, white & grey, run picking round them close up to their noses, & under their very bellies, availing themselves of the insect flies that settle on their legs, & probably finding worms & larvae that are roused by the...
Dined alone with Sir W. Batten, which I have not done a great while, but his lady being out of the way I was the willinger to do it.
Up betimes and among my works and workmen, and with great pleasure seeing them go on merrily, and a good many hands, which I perceive makes good riddance.
Seriously, Britain, if you vote f*****g Fartage into power in the future, you'll deserve everything you get 🙄🤦
Gosh - is it going to be a renovation? If so, it will be wonderful to follow along on the Bluesky...
Outstanding! 😍
Calling in my way in Hamcreek, where I have never been before, and there found two of the King’s ships lie there without any living creature aboard, which troubled me, every thing being stole away that can be.
A word on immigration. Don't prejudge this, just listen to the data, and then consider what the solution is. The UK has a falling birth rate. This means that - unless things change - each generation will be 25% smaller than the one before.
Blue tick shill spouting AI bullshit for £££ clicks... Don't amplify.
Well, here's an extraordinary thing: there's an episode of Midsomer Murders on the tellybox that I haven't seen...
There hath been a disturbance in a church in Friday Street; a great many young people knotting together and crying out “Porridge” often and seditiously in the church, and took the Common Prayer Book away; and did tear it; but it is a thing which appears to me very ominous.
Does he think he's Lex Luthor?
In America they just issue schools with bullet proof vests. In the U.K. Reform protest and riot outside places housing unaccompanied refugee children.
This latest spasm of racism, protests, flags, ‘legitimate concerns’, ‘political prisoner’ bullshit is the ugly hangover of a Brexit that failed to deliver the social change it promised because it was all a lie. Now, instead of facing up to that, we get more lies, more hatred. It can only ever fail.
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...)
So he's off to the Nat C (pronounced Nazi, obvs) conference again... along with the scrofulous walking cancer that is Bannon and the ridiculous, toxic cosplay cleric...
Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.” Full statement
OK, lovely people, rank your Marples: - Joan Hickson - Margaret Rutherford - Geraldine McEwan - Julia McKenzie - Angela Lansbury - Helen Hayes (That's pretty much my ranking, not that I wish to influence you!)
Wonderfully put.
"Damning with faint praise..." springs to mind 😘😁
So we fairly walked it to White Hall, and through my Lord’s lodgings we got into White Hall garden, and so to the Bowling-green, and up to the top of the new Banqueting House there, over the Thames, which was a most pleasant place as any I could have got.
And all the show consisted chiefly in the number of boats and barges; and two pageants, one of a King, and another of a Queen, with her Maydes of Honour sitting at her feet very prettily; and they tell me the Queen is Sir. Richard Ford’s daughter.
Or had some sort of fetish for living in a sauna! 😁
Mr. Coventry and I did walk together a great while in the Garden, where he did tell me his mind about Sir G. Carteret’s having so much the command of the money, which must be removed. And indeed it is the bane of all our business.
This is a bit hilarious - the amount of pine in this property beggars belief! www.french-property.com/sale-propert...
Just as alarming are the obvious #Lies of a convicted sex-trafficker being touted as a 'defence' for the #PedoPresident - pure corruption, perversion of justice. #EpsteinFiles #Maxwell #CriminalinChief
Well, if a character reference from a convicted sex trafficker doesn’t put an end to the speculation, what will?
Back when they were O'Levels, many decades ago: four As, five Bs and a C...
Krishnamoorthi on the FBI raiding Bolton's house: "It looks like it's also an attempt to distract from the other big news of the day, which is the first production of the Epstein files that is required by subpoena from the Oversight Committee and they want to change the conversation."
Once you reach expert-level, you can get an oojamaflick... 😁
I took boat home again and dined, and after dinner sent for some of my workmen and did scold at them so as I hope my work will be hastened.
OK, lovely people - the Mirror's got one of its rabble-rousing polls again... Here's the direct link that avoids the shit of the Mirror, and no need to add email, just submit. You know what to do! 😁 xd.wayin.com/display/cont...
Actually I've found it myself! This is just the poll: xd.wayin.com/display/cont... - no need to add email address, just sumbmit.
Ah we need @edwinhayward.com to do his wizardry to post the direct link for the poll without having to wade through the shit of the Mirror...
About five o’clock rose, and up to my office, and about 8 o’clock went down to Deptford, and there with Mr. Davis did look over most of his stores.
In the great storehouse, while Captain Badily was talking to us, one from a trap-door above let fall unawares a coyle of cable, that it was 10,000 to one it had not broke Captain Badily’s neck, it came so near him, but did him no hurt.
1776: Swallows abound, & congregate. Young swallows continue to come forth.
1776: Fog, sun, showers about, sweet day. Much wheat housed.
1825: Recievd a letter from Mr Emmerson which tells me that Lord Radstock dyed yesterday he was the best friend I have met with - tho he possessed too much of that simple heartedness to be a fashionable friend or hypocrite yet it often led him to take hypocrites for honest friends & to take an...
76% of people think MPs are overpaid. Guess what? 76% of people are absolutely right, especially as most MPs have second (and third, and fourth) jobs that pay them a fortune. Snouts in the trough, no wonder people have no respect for politics and MPs. MPs of ALL colours...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣... and breathe... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you are having a bad day, then here is an Angel Butterfly for you ..🥰😍 #bluesky #dog #dogday
Wow, the bots have descended en masse on the Skies of Blue to denigrate Gavin Newsom as hard as they can... All adds to the attention he needs and deserves though...
Aaw, maybe poor Oakshitt is missing the ready availability of a bacon butty in #DUBAI...
11% over target already... good work!
Welcome to yet another day of abject horror in the cesspit if humanity.
Traffic chaos on #NewCrossRoad at #HatchamParkRoad due to fire. Road closed, diversion round Pomeroy Street.
To my Lord Sandwich, whom I found in bed, and he sent for me in. Among other talk, he do tell me that he hath put me into commission with a great many great persons in the business of Tangier, which is a very great honour to me, and may be of good concernment to me.
1776: Wheat houses. Timothy the tortoise weighs just six pounds three quarters & two ounces & an half: so is encreased in weight, since Aug: 1775, just one ounce & an half.
The residents of an asylum hotel that I have encountered here are without exception extremely polite and respectful. Much more so than the locals... Print that, media bods @bbcdomc.bsky.social @krishgm.bsky.social @theipaper.com @theguardian.com @bethrigby.bsky.social @vicderbyshire.bsky.social
ANDOR creator Tony Gilroy says the acting snubs at the Emmys were “really painful” “[Genevieve O’Reilly] gives a five-year performance that's complicated, nuanced, and breathtaking. It's a lifetime achievement…. Diego [Luna] the same thing.” (Source: Gold Derby)
