Danny Golding
Eclecticist. May post about all things digital, cycling, films and current affairs - or anything else that grabs my attention.
- I can’t really be bothered to work out what’s upset Brooklyn Beckham. But if I was him, my list of grievances would start with being given such a silly name.
- Just received this message from someone I know in Minneapolis. "Minneapolis is very tense and feels a bit under siege. No East Africans on the street. No Hispanics on the street. No Ubers on the street which are driven by East Africans. All very eerie. All very tense."
- What a dude
- I wonder if Trump realises that bombing another country and kidnapping its leader may not be the best way to get the Nobel Peace Prize?
- Great start to the New Year. Lulu singing “Man Who Sold The World” on Jools Holland’s #Hootenanny. She still has a great voice.
- Big shout out to Danish cyclist Jonas Vingegaard
- Twitter/X has been down for over 30 mins. Anyone know what gives?
- Reposted by Danny GoldingBrexit impact on UK economy 'negative for foreseeable future’, Bank of England chief says news.sky.com/story/brexit...
- Reposted by Danny GoldingManchester Council of Mosques have issued this statement in sadness, shock and solidarity with the Jewish community about this attack at the synagogue in Manchester
- Reposted by Danny GoldingFuck these guys. “The Trump administration canceled grants for street safety measures, pedestrian trails and bike lanes in communities around the country this month, each time offering a simple rationale for yanking back federal aid: the projects aren’t designed for cars.”
- Glad to see the Guardian fearlessly taking on the really important issues in the world.
- Reposted by Danny GoldingEmerging from the Boris investigations bunker and looking at the deputy leadership which suggests things might be looking up for Starmer. If there was a candidate challenging No10’s direction who was uniting all Labour’s worried MPs then he would be in big trouble. So far that’s not happening.
- Reposted by Danny Golding3 August 1871 | Polish Jewish woman, Estera Berkowicz, was born in Częstochowa. She emigrated to Belgium. She was deported to #Auschwitz from Kazerne Dossin in Mechelen on 18 August 1942. She was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.
- @cerysmatthews.bsky.social the Dennis Morris exhibition is absolutely fantastic. The photos of Marley and bands like the Sex Pistols are of course iconic. But I was even more impressed by his many affectionate and insightful photos of black and white working class life in 1970s England.
- Reposted by Danny GoldingHer name was Diana. She was 23 years old and 7 months pregnant. Russia murdered her today in an attack on the maternity hospital in Kamyanske.
- I’m no fan of the Clearlake “project”, but this was by far the best Chelsea performance under Maresca.
- Reposted by Danny Golding"Reich citizenship will not be laid in the cradle of every one born in Germany, but will be ceremoniously conferred on him after he has shown himself worthy of it through special accomplishments, through loyal services to the State." NY Times, July 6, 1933.
- The Wembley acts all look like they were having a great time, as was the London audience. The Philadelphia concert seems like a much more laid back affair in comparison. #liveaid40
- 40 years ago the young cynical me thought most of the Live Aid performers looked old and passed it. Now I’m thinking how young they all looked and how many were at the peak of their careers. #liveaid40
- David Bowie easily wins the best dressed artist award #liveaid
- Almost forgot what the youthful Madonna looked like #liveaid.
- Freddie Mercury was really on fire at #liveaid. I was never a big Queen fan but what a performance.
- First world challenges…it turns out that the Marks & Spencer’s cyber attack means that they have run out of polenta in their stores. These cyber hackers are destroying life as we know it.
- Reposted by Danny GoldingWell done @cycloxoxford.bsky.social for organising a brilliant #KidicalMassOxford 👏🚲👏🚲Our kids are demanding #SafeStreetsNow
- Reposted by Danny GoldingWe love finding gems in our archive! This is from the 1980s showing off some new promotional merch we'd made. It even includes a VHS about the service...
- Thoughtful article by @gabyhinsliff.bsky.social on the UK Supreme Court judgement. She sees this as an opportunity to return to consensus building and for "people to decide how exactly we all live alongside one another..with care and compassion". www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
