Reads books to an unnecessary degree. Tsundoku, baby! @soniarays.bsky.social

Just because you can’t understand something / can’t imagine a situation / couldn’t care less about other people’s suffering doesn’t make it fake news.

@PippaMusgrave1 @MissLauraMarcus In the 70s everybody was making their own wine! Horrible stuff 😂

@ScepticalSista @MarinaMedvin That struck me as the most unlikely part of that story.

@BAPearlmutter @Tafirkhoo @MarinaMedvin Germany. Hanover to be precise.

@JackAngelxx @GerrySamuels12 @benonwine It was a one-off event. That’s why we remember it.
The generation that are children now won’t remember 2026 in the same way because every single year it gets hotter and hotter.

@TrevorWillow3 @speedbird266 @GerrySamuels12 @benonwine Stop with the boomer generalisation. The word you’re looking for is “idiots”

@AlanJoh26375981 @GerrySamuels12 @benonwine The operative words here being “childhood memories” 🙄

@Shuswapgigi @TheJasonPugh @MarkJCarney P.S. Negotiated while a member and lost upon Brexit. If UK wanted to rejoin, as a new member they would not get these opt-out options.

[Sonia Sivewright @SoniaRayS]

@Shuswapgigi @TheJasonPugh @MarkJCarney UK was an EU member from 1973 until 2020.
During that time
EMU was created with UK as a member with an SMU op-out.
Schengen zone was created, UK opted out. Member states all issue their own passports, there is no EU passport.
UK opt-outs were negotiated while an EU member.

@PaddyBriggs @SimonBatesUK I listened to radio 4 on LW all through my later teens and twenties. So many great programmes and the shipping forecast too!

@CarolLo58903853 @midgeure1 The first time I had Vanille Soße I was expecting custard. Very disappointing ☹️

@DanFriedman81 @Microinteracti1 Please tell me you’re a parody account. 🙄

@SaulStaniforth What the hell are we doing here when a government official can imply, with no evidence, that one of the world’s top referees is in cahoots with terrorists. Worst World Cup ever.

@karentraviss @arthistorynews Oooh, yes! Ice Cold in Alex is great 👍

@contra_psych @TheFigen_ He’s portraying a snake.

@euanmccolm In my experience passport photos tend to look post mortem.
Either that or have just been arrested as a serial killer.

@turntheboxon @BBC Because that was so successful in the past 🙄

@Lizzy_NL Hi Lizzy 👋
I’ve been watching Eurovision since 1965. And commenting on Twitter’s become part of that tradition 😂 This is still the place to do it.

[Sonia Sivewright @SoniaRayS]

I’m waiting up to see the voting, because I always have done.
But watching the recap I realise that I’ve already forgotten 3/4 of the songs.
Despite remembering all the historical ones they sang earlier 😂 #Eurovision2026

[Sonia Sivewright @SoniaRayS]

The return of the Eurovision nonsense title!
It’s enough to make you nostalgic.

La La La, Boom Bang-a-Bang, Ding-a-Dong, A-Ba-Ni-Bi, Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley and now Bangaranga.
