Instead of spending $45 million on a boring tank parade, we could have spent $1 million making a thrilling youtube video called “Tank Drives Through Increasingly Big Piles Of Watermelons”

Note to anyone who argues with transphobes. ALWAYS look up the obscure thing they are talking about as they are always, always wrong. Most of the time the example they give is a direct counter argument to their own point

Netanyahu Calls Iran Strikes Necessary To Prevent War He Just Started

Sorry i can't make it to your thing, i'm busy pouring gallon jugs of water into my trashcan to figure out what size garbage bags i should buy

Please add your voice to the >16000 people who have emailed their MPs asking, begging, them to fully decriminalise abortion by backing NC20. This moment may not come again

I once fined Duncan Goodhew £20 for returning a kids VHS tape late.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO - dashare.zone ADMIN

relooted is being made by a team of developers from numerous african countries, but only its white south african creative director was able to demo it to summer game fest attendees. this was most certainly not always the plan

It is genuinely amazing someone such a cast-iron nonce that even their *wikipedia page* makes it obvious is still on TV.

Wow so you're telling me appeasing the genociders didn't mean they backed down from other conflicts. That's wild. It's not like there is any historical context for such a thing, and usually genociders are so chill!

ea nasir is back baby awooo

I mean, you're going to have to kill them. You know that, right? You are going to have to murder the people who are doing this before they murder you. I need you to understand that it's going to take force to remove them.

babe wake up, new PRC just dropped

Time and again, throughout history, there is no hunger greater than the so-called moderate liberal's hunger for capitulation and they will see millions fighting for any scrap of a better world jailed and murdered if it means returning to days where they can pretend, gleefully, that nothing is wrong

finally got to the truth

Andrew Cuomo is afraid he'll lose, so his donors want you to fear me. His SuperPAC just sent out a mailer that artificially lengthened and darkened my beard. This is blatant Islamophobia—the kind of racism that explains why MAGA billionaires support his campaign.

Amazing work by @standupmaths.bsky.social & @bechillcomedian.bsky.social brainstorming replacements for master/slave. Also amazed they didn't pick boss/goon! I want to write "The boss spins up goons to handle the incoming jobs" in documentation.

Testing to see if Bridgy Fed is working...

Sound Heap is an attempt to respond to the modern world's overwhelming flood of stuff. In this week's episode, especially, I think we've just ended up adding to the problem. podfollow.com/soundheap/view

I think a lot of people staying on Twitter have an "advertising doesn't work on me" mentality

why is the president the only person testing the limits of his power? everyone should see what they can get away with. what if zookeepers gave helicopters to gorillas? nobody has tried this

Gotta love an 86-year-old woman with the heart of a poster

Every article about the inevitability of AGI

GUY WHO, IF PRESSED, TURNS OUT IS DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSED TO YOUR CAUSE: are you sure *those* tactics help your cause

is it time to bust out my "bigfoot is bears" photo collection again? if your mental image of a bear is a thick-furred, fat glossy male bear in autumn, you're probably not prepared for how weird their proportions can look in spring, or when walking upright, like they frequently do.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

"In 1642 in the town of Lemgo, Germany, local pharmacist David Welman was accused of witchcraft and being a werewolf. Anonymous hate mail was sent to him, one of which included this sketch."

I'm not going to be tricked into thinking that hate is a sin. That vitriol from below is somehow equivalent to death from above. The sin is tearing families apart. The sin is fascism. The sin is staying silent, being unmoved by the currents we all feel. Hatred is what we need

My cartoon for this week’s @newscientist.com

Will be thinking about "hardens to a carapace over their faces" for a while

This is an excellent example of how the Republican Party is a political party- an ideological apparatus operated to achieve political goals- and the Democratic Party is a country club for wealthy safe-seat donor buddies.

(at mar-a-lago 3 months ago) Elon: “Badger badger, mushroom mushroom” is merely the video’s overture. Next it enters a refrain of “a snake, a snake” to humorous effect. Comedy for the win! Trump: (inner monologue) I do not like Mr. Computer. I am going to invent a new type of prison for him

At #PyDataLondon2025! The talk on PyScript was fascinating and mad. A full Excel-equivalent spreadsheet using Python & Pandas that runs locally in the user's browser!? pysheets.app

#PyDataLondon interesting talk on modelling football data, neat animations of how the matrixes change over time with player movements! (i didn’t record the movement ;_;)

At @pydatalondon.bsky.social! The GF breakfast is so fancy I can’t even tell what some of it is. #PyDataLondon

lmfao

If trans people have been misled into thinking they could use the toilet of their choice without having to go through some kind of vetting process, then surely we all have.
