Bored? Lacking the enthusiasm and/or energy to do something, anything?

What sort of videos are you watching anyway?

When it's not French railways or classic/'modern classic' car videos, I tend to find myself looking at videos posted by LBC.

Needless to say, the first two are free of the sort of comments that get me down. Yes, I know I shouldn't be looking at the third.

It’s very easy to get sucked in reading comments. I’ve been way better since I stopped posting myself (apart from here), but I still spend too much time.

Talking of which, I spend too long reading Bluesky comments on the British Government by liberal Americans. One such, having said lots of interesting stuff about America, said absurdly that our failed government is “what Democrat centrists want”. Massive tax rises to pay for public services (not least on our equivalent of their totemic “Medicare for All) workers rights, big minimum wage increases- these people would be extremely happy with any of that in the US.

But I guess when you get your info on Britain from the sillier end of Bluesky, it’s easy to overlook this stuff and think that everyone in Britain thinks Starmer was too rightwing.

If you want to see nicer Americans, there are lots who have YouTube channels of watch a longs to well known British TV programmes. I find these charming.
