Somehow I can hear someone on the porch of the building opposite watching shit on his phone while he smokes My dude, your ears, turn the volume down Also it’s 1am have some awareness for the world around you

Convinced that Elon Musk was a plant by some aliens to turn earth into a prison planet by blocking out the stars & trapping us here permanently with an impenetrable wall of space trash and useless radio pollution

Next thing you know, it'll be taking measurements of your skull, nose, and distance between your eyes, then reporting suspected non-Aryan elements to DOGE (or whoever controls population data these days).

Worth considering that one reason Bluesky doesn't always feel super fun is that current events are relentlessly horrifying and bad

Bluesky feels incredibly busy and vibrant to me….becuase I follow a lot of people. Which you have to do here if you want to see a lot of action, because *the site has no central algorithm.* A startling number of professional tech writers still don’t seem aware of this basic aspect of Bluesky.

This is how. Greta Thunberg spits fire and gives you the only media training you may ever need.

Put the next 3 months of pin club up on Patreon, there’s also this guy.

See it: plums in the icebox Say it: lol eating those Sorted: a poem

See it (a horse) Say it ("horse!") Sorted (everyone else now has the opportunity to behold the horse)

As was foretold.

Pretty disgusted to see The Mary Sue carrying water for JK Rowling with a puff-piece article framing her hatred and active funding of extermination as an "opinion" an forgiving cast and crew of her new Harry Potter series. Do better, Mary Sue. www.themarysue.com/they-just-do...

Shout out to all the prospective students who glanced in the windows of my very visible office on their campus tours today and saw a very overwhelmed pgr (me) not getting much work done. I feel like the office needs a zoo sign on the windows explaining we’re doing phds and this is normal behaviour

I don't want to hear "Happy Pride" from these corporations. I want to hear, "We have fixed all the homophobic & transphobic garbage happening; everyone is safe now and healthcare is free. And also all the queer shows you want to watch on other streaming platforms are now available to you."

Hey just so we’re clear - DOGE accessed and stole all of our data, gave it to Palantir, and now ICE is partnered with Palantir in order to track *all of us* Palantir is run by evil billionaire Peter Thiel. Truly, scarily evil.

New person in the office. I look forward to finding out their name in about 2 months and speaking to them in maybe 5

Nobody ever thinks to ask how in the world is Carmen Sandiego

When the Greens said this, nothing. When the LibDems spoke up about how bad it was Labour were dropping this, nothing. Reform back it and its even a headline in the fucking Guardian. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

Imagine, just imagine, the response from the West if the Iranian government, in international waters, had rammed and then boarded a European ship, filled with European citizens, and taken them captive. But it's Israel, so it's all good. Our citizens don't matter.

These people have to account for the deep hatred and revulsion they feel when watching others act out of sincerity, courage and compassion. It threatens and bewilders them, so they must explain it away as something they recognise and understand: moral vapidity and self-absorption

Helen Lewis doesn't get to pretend that this isn't exactly what she's been pushing for year after year. Fuck off.

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

Trans women as an entire demographic worldwide have won less olympic medals than Sharon Davies did at that one games where all the good people didn't go, and the same amount as Riley Gaines has in her entire "professional" career.

"train in AI" yeah or maybe train in some actual skills you dimwit

very pleased that my new meds combo means the brain fog is practically gone aside from the few days a month I am subjected to the Screaming Morbs*, but my god it doesn't make these few days any easier

In amongst all the excitement I fear many have missed this outstanding bit of trolling by Friedrich Merz. The Chancellor gifted Trump a gilded framed copy of his grandfather’s German birth certificate... reminding Americans that Trump is both the child and grandchild of migrants.

I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "Shut up, Frodo," said Gandalf, "are you seeing the quality of the posts today?!”

This is not the calming bed time wind down I should be having but my god is it entertaining

I told you that the foreshadowing this season was lazy and forced.

gentleman, gentleman, please, there's no need for this! you are both in the epstein files.
