It's like ra-ain, on your wedding day

Horrific

If a man can’t give a Nazi salute at a party for a racist convicted fraudster and proven sex offender, then what kind of sick world are we living in, I ask you.

When Musk denies that he did a big ol Nazi salute during the inauguration, remember this, from Jean-Paul Sartre, 1944.

I've posted this image twice because Elon Musk gave a Nazi salute twice.

Bart and Lisa watch the second Trumps missed kiss rips his heart in half.

What a timely notification, thanks HP! (Gonna have to snooze this one)

The real lesson of Zuckerberg and Musk is that some people are just born with loser stink on them that no amount of wealth or power will ever scrub off

Happy New Year, Bluesky! Have a great 2025, be kind to eachother x

What’s amazing about Gonzo’s delivery of the “who did NOT die” line, is that he captures all of Dickens’ original emphatic caps lock. And also all the shocked-face emojis he uses, and the three exclamation marks and the 1.

Merry Christmas, Bluesky ✌️

SIMPLY HAVING A

Left in tears of laughter I hope

In 1957 a 400ft hole was dug, to conduct a nuclear test, capped with a 5ft thick manhole cover. The blast was 50,000x stronger than expected, launching the manhole cover at 13,000mph, 5x the speed required to leave earth's orbit. It became (for the time) the fastest manmade object in space *

Wonderful creativity from the kids at Christmas! 🎄

Slow. Clap.

Happy Monday, Bluesky 👋

AI is changing everything. In particular it’s putting a thing you don’t want to accidentally touch in all of your favorite apps

To be fair she does look like a chicken.

This is your annual reminder that Jamie Cullum's Christmas album is far superior to the Bublé, but I will concede both are good. music.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Bloody loving Bluesky.

Absolute scenes!

It's today guys! Has he been? Feel free to nominate your international man who has done us proud this year. This year I am playing safe with Sir David Attenborough. Let me know yours (famous or not)

My vote is for posts; I hate the word "skeet." We don't need to emulate the old place, though its old verbs were great.

Focusing on storytelling would've been enough. www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/my... #hl2

Ok I got one anyway but I didn't ask for it I swear!

"I'd better do a funny post on Bluesky so people know I'll be funny on here," thought the man. He sat at his keyboard, waiting for inspiration to strike. The world turned. Seasons passed. Everyone he knew was long dead. He posted a picture of an elk. "Funny-looking dog!" he typed, and died.

@chrispritchard.bsky.social 👋 welcome sir

Trying to get in early on a Starbucks Christmas cup feels icky in so many ways

This is good to know! Settings - External Media Preferences - YouTube and you'll be able to watch YouTube vids in app...

I’m fortunate to have a call with the Bluesky backend team for an hour a week, and I’m continually blown away at how good they are at engineering their systems, how thoughtful they are about protocol design, and how smoothly they’ve been handling a huge influx of new users. Seriously impressive
