This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.

Today's Oval Office spectacle wasn't about showing strength, it was about surrendering to Putin. Trump and JD Vance have completely sold out America. Watch @therickwilson.bsky.social n react: www.youtube.com/watch?v=i6_m...

This scrum of pot-bellied, sunken-chested betas trying to bully an all-black clad badass Eastern European wasteland survivor while dressed like Men’s Wearhouse mannequins is peak cinema.

Modern-Day Peaceful Protest… TikTokers are hunting Cybertrucks—pulling up behind them and projecting anti-Elon Musk messages onto the tailgate. What’s genius: the driver has zero rear visibility & zero idea. The Cybertruck Hunters account launched a week ago and already dropped a dozen videos.

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

What a fucking child www.bbc.com/news/article...

Yes indeed. I recommend his and Peter Hutchinson's The Invisible Doctrine: The Secret History of Neoliberalism, which eviscerates the pretensions of the capitalist worldview. bsky.app/profile/geor...

Wow! What does Utah trade with the UK?

OK, can we stop pointing out how chaotic and incompetent the right are when they are in power. They don't care! They're not trying to run the country, they're trying to strip it for parts. And the fact that the left behaves as if we are all playing by the same rules is frankly depressing.

This is hilarious futurism.com/trump-admin-...

This is how you say “go fuck yourself sideways with a porcupine” in inspector general speak. Going to be interesting to see how the administration responds

This is both utterly disgusting, and completely unsurprising. I blame Jo B for pandering to the extreme right. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Where's Indy when you need him?

Phoom!

It must be great to pick these skills up so fast - who needs universities?

Something to cheer people up - too good not to share.

Well I for one am glad to see the spirit of competition has not yet left these fine young entrepreneurs. For a brief moment we began to see Zuc and an actual living, breathing human being - a man of the people if you will - the sort of person you may want to have a cheaky Kombucha or two with.

You don't do this. No ethical person does this to their vendors and partners. This is the hallmark of a crook. www.wired.com/story/metas-...

Denmark has offically owned Greenland since 54 years before the USA existed.

So the world’s richest man, who grew up under apartheid in South Africa and now pulls the mentally deteriorating incoming U.S. president’s strings, has written an op-ed urging Germans to elect a neo-Nazi government. Got that?

🔴President Zelensky Exposed Lex Fridman’s Own Bias on Ukraine Elon Musk’s favourite podcaster was ill-prepared for the Ukrainian President’s demolition of Russian propaganda claims about the war, reports Paul Niland bylinetimes.com/2025/01/08/p...

This is a slow coup in the US - the only defence is that the MAGA morons are all incompetent arseholes.

It looks like DJT wants his own Ukraine 😂 www.bbc.com/news/article...

Be silent! Keep your forked tongue behind your teeth. I have not passed through X and Facebook to bandy crooked words on BlueSky with a witless worm!

Always take a side!

I've just shut up the East Wing, reduced Simmonds to a 5 day week, and sacked Rogers the chauffeur for much the same reason. Seems I'll have to drive the children back to school in the Bentley myself this Easter term.

I just watched Idiocracy, then this...

Well, I'm back from Sri Lanka and this is my first attempt at an Arrack Sour. 50ml Ceylon Arrack 20ml simple syrup 25ml lemon juice 15ml Aquafaba Wet shake, filter the ice out, then a dry shake to make the foam Angostura bitters and a slice of lemon Worked quite well for a first try. #cocktaila

But Melon has already carried out a hostile takeover of MAGA - All Hail King Musk it seems…

Absolutely - I thought this was what the whole revolution was about - getting rid of kings who are above the law.

Ah Melon - if you play at being a Nazi you are a Nazi. #elonmusk www.thedailybeast.com/kekius-maxim...

Looks like Jonnie had a little too much last night #2025 #jonniewalker #gallefacehotel

OK 2025, we need you get things sorted right from the start. Let's have none of that 2024 nonsense. Trump and JDV dying in a bizarre, sex dungeon accident involving Nazi uniforms and a flame thrower would be a good start. #2025

There should be a special place in Hell for the person who invented captive coat hangers.

The system works! :)

It's just occurred to me, that I've spent a annoyingly large portion of my life untangling computer cables.

I already donate - I'm going to double the amount now. #wikipedia #elonmusk #fuckmusk
