Word of the day is ‘cumber-world’ (14th century): a person or thing that encumbers the planet.

in the interests of being petty (because that's really all that most of us will have soon), we should all just get our governments to rename all the things in or near our territories Indian Ocean? we call it Delicious Sea of Azania now so please change the map, thanks

do they have schools? I thought everyone was homeschooling Mckinzieylynn'Kaytleigh and Hudsyn-Jaxxsonhayze

perhaps I'm reading too much into this but *now* seems such an expedient time when the opportunity has stood there for many for decades - certainly since 1994 when that stance would have had few real-life consequences

are we doing that thing where we complain about how rude and inappropriately dressed people are like when Zelenskyy went in his camo? just wanted to flag that ill-fitting jacket, t-shirt and ball cap thing for those complainers to take up, that outfit is a crime

we really need to ramp up the mockery to furnace level because in what universe would any adult think that absolutely ridiculous, infantile bill about Greenland for human consumption

😂😂

succinctly capturing the exact vibe on that homepage A+

Possibly the most cowardly paragraph I've ever read in the Guardian, or any newspaper for that matter. Utterly shameful. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/f...

a supposedly respectable news organisation calling ethnic cleansing "audacious" should not have been the surprise it is but yet

@bsky.app should add community notes so we know what happened to Goliath.

"Hit back" is putting it strongly. Ramaphosa was extraordinarily calm and measured given the nonsensical bilge and racist lies that Trump chose to dump out on Sunday. www.politico.eu/article/sout...

shock value is tanking in an oversaturated market, like I don't even know what to do with this "deer in headlights" look I just recently mastered

just succeeded in making jiaozi and no one should have let this happen because they were great and now this is not some unattainable thing and I'm probably going to eat them every day for like a year because that's how I roll and am going to roll so there

spiteful

hi everyone, how is your particular dictatorship doing this fine day? are your regionalised oligarchs doing well?

well, isn't this fascinating are people allowed to say the things they were shouted down for years back yet? www.timeslive.co.za/news/south-a...

my entire Reddit feed is posts rebuking X and birthday wishes of fictional characters and it's impossible to decide between revelling in the pointless chaos of that or wondering what made this algorithm decide on this today

record levels of insanity starting on day one

*sips morning coffee* Demand for banned book lists, you say? Catching up on those excellent reads, you say? Excellent... #booksky #blackbooksky

this is the baffling thing, and why it’s important to talk to someone who’s Very Online even if you rightfully think they’re a weirdo freak nobody involved here realized that “you banned my favorite app for being a Chinese psyop” would cause a shitload of kids to go “guess I’ll join the CCP”?

why have we acquired daytime mosquitoes? as in they'll bite a person at midday with no shame.

the world is actually completely batshit how are supposed journalists seriously considering stupid statements about acquiring Canada and buying Greenland (or else) what drove you all to this, is this pandemic cognitive damage or mass hysteria or what?

my neighbour has finally replaced his early 2000s rave music with 3-step and improved the quality of this suburb's festive party season a hundredfold, dankie meneer

pretty sure I've done some stupid things while drunk in the past but at least I've never woken up at 4am to 2587 missed calls and realised I instigated a military coup so gonna take that as a win

so I guess this is my new home now 🙂
