This is your fault @robmanuelyeah.bsky.social I've been doing pixelogic.app/every-5x5-no... nonstop, like some sort of severed worker, since you linked to it in the @b3ta.com newsletter. I cannot stop, except to complain here.

the way democracy works now is that we keep voting for people to whack us in the nuts with bigger and bigger hammers. occasionally we vote for someone who says they’ll use smaller hammers, but guess what? bigger hammers

If you wouldn't accept "we are at risk of becoming an island of strangers" from Kemi Badenoch or Nigel Farage you probably shouldn't accept it from Keir Starmer. Don't pretzel yourself trying to explain why it's ok from the guy in the red tie.

Last night I watched a double bill of Happy Death Day and Happy Death Day 2U and this morning I can't stop humming Genesis' The Brazilian. And I suppose that's how my mind works now.

@gralefrit.bsky.social Other than it being just wonderful from start to finish I am also amazed how many great ungoogleable names and phrases you managed to come up with!
