Is it just my imagination, or has the rainwater on my outside table cover pooled in the silhouette of Donald Trump?

Watching @nigella.bsky.social on #GBBO whilst reading @seanjones.org's judgment in Harkins v M&S - this is a very BlueSky evening!

25 years ago it was my 2nd day at Bar School. I spent most of it in the library, working there with phone off until it closed. I didn't check any news on the Internet. I sat there til 9pm oblivious. My parents were in New York on holiday, looking forward to visiting the Twin Towers that morning.

25 years ago today it was my 1st day at Bar School. Among the crowd of fellow enthusiastic wannabe barristers, there was a short 23-year-old wearing a chalk stripe suit. I don't think he was wearing red trainers, making bad puns, or eating a Michelin star packed lunch. I wonder what happened to him?

Dismayed that the editors of The Times decided to commission this puff piece about how nice and polite the balaclava-wearing thugs were to three (white) women on their train journey. www.thetimes.com/article/4924...

We were on a day out. Then masked migrant protesters got on our train

Activists who brought Dover to a halt on Saturday refused to remove their balaclavas but were ‘very polite’, say fellow travellers

Is there any activity more transgressive than going to a supermarket with another supermarket’s bag?

For someone “not listening”, Farage made a heck of a lot of comments that made contextual sense in the course of the conversation to which he apparently wasn’t listening.

Eliot Higgins@eliothiggins.bsky.social · 2mo ago

This is a "my dog ate my homework" level of excuse - ‘I wasn’t even listening,’ Farage says of donations scandal meeting www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Trying to work out how to make these statements consistent. Where is the gap that allows something not to be wrong but to not look good, to require action and to involve saying things that shouldn't have been said?

Pollster JL Partners' slogan - "giving you the conviction to lead" - has really taken on a new meaning tonight...

I wonder whether Farage will be damaged more from the exposé by the potential criminality or by the fact his Guinness is topped with champagne and accompanied by half a dozen oysters.

I have to agree. Get your LLB first and then worry about an LLM.

Thomas Lecaque@tlecaque.bsky.social · 2mo ago

No undergrad should be using an LLM and it's absurdly irresponsible to suggest otherwise.

I learnt this evening that I’m older than Christopher Lloyd was when playing Doc Brown in the first Back to the Future, and I now feel old.

At what point will Trump realise that America is named after an Italian explorer and sign an executive order to change the name to Trumpland to spite Meloni for slighting him?

This wording will have gone through a committee and been approved by senior management as the stock wording for JD Sports automatic emails after receipt of an order. I despair.

The Great Lakes were always easy to remember by the mnemonic HOMES. I guess with Trump’s executive order it’s appropriate that in America the mnemonic is now SHAME.
