ChatGPT is not a search engine nor a research database. Y'all need to stop treating it that way. You have to verify everything it tells you.

The Hobbit is about a gang of RETVRN-crazed dwarven nepo babies with exactly one normal friend, whose job is to keep the dwarves alive, do all the work, and get called slurs. The dwarves contribute by having generational wealth, taking credit for Bilbo's work, and being mean to their fat friend

Do you want to be instantly transported to otherworldly places one post at a time? This thread is a great magical read, trust me* *or not, I mean, I'm not your mum

Hear me out: you take the hard-won products of journalism, science, art and creativity, you use vast amounts of electrical energy during a time-sensitive energy transition to re-jumble the words and sentences, and then you present the outputs as being better and more trustworthy than the original

Speaking truth to power

Because I get tagged in when people recommend my moderation lists a lot, I figure it's a good time to repeat some other lists I endorse. I do not sub to all these lists myself because some of them knock out too much of what I list, but I've put them all through my tests: bsky.app/profile/raha...

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic. (posting in 3 parts due to Bluesky's 1 minute limit)

Can confirm 😤

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.

Trans rights are human rights. Black Lives Matter. Give the land and artefacts back. Punch Nazis. Abortion is healthcare. Sex work is work. No human is illegal. Join your union. lest we forget that we were born divine.

Death Starry Night

friends, in the northern hemisphere we have now *done* the darkest *eight weeks* of the year. the next 44 weeks are all lighter than this. (please: no replies to this pointing out other stuff that is still bad. I'll just block. we must be allowed to rejoice in at least *the return of the sun*.)

It would be terrible if people kept posting this tomorrow. Terrible.

1. Please read this thread. It could make a difference to your health. Before I went away, I had a strange, persistent tingling in the soles of my feet. When I looked it up, there were some benign explanations, and some alarming ones. I resolved to see the doctor when I returned. 🧵

Just for fun, let me tell you about somebody you've probably never heard of, but who was once one of the most famous people in England, a national hero, a disgraced fraudster, and an astonishingly accomplished piratical maniac. He led quite a life. (1/53)

I am really looking forward to Monday when I start revisiting #NoPlasters tips and ideas from a decade ago. I can't wait to see what has changed in the #learning profession. #SpreadTheWord as I revisit the Tweets here on BlueSky.

OK, my left-of-centre friends, let us see if we can swing the vote in favour of Sadiq Khan; and really upset the Daily Express xd.wayin.com/display/cont...

Happy 2025, beautiful people. As a philosopher once said, there’s some good in this world, Mr Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for. X

Someone for all the #learning professionals here to follow in 2025.

One of my goals next year is to unfollow accounts that are focused on consumption. Whether that’s constantly buying fabric, running shoes, dresses… whatever it is. There is so much consumption on social media and I just don’t need that. Anyway, the coolest new trend is using what you already have.

Here you go Mum, a new iPad mini. Of course I’ll set it up. What’s your Apple password? It’s written in your bible at home. Ok. <Drives 114 miles> /1

Body: I can't physically eat any more. Brain: THERE'S STILL CHEESE LEFT, PUSSY! Body: But I hurt. The pain! Brain: EAT MORE CHOCOLATE NOW! Body: *cries* Brain: WASH IT DOWN WITH A PINT OF BAILEYS. Body: I’m begging you. Please stop. Body: SNORT THAT PURPLE QUALITY STREET, BITCH.

Christmas Day done. For the first time ever I hosted and fed three people - drinks, dinner, dessert, gifts, games and hopefully I brought some joy to people who are having a really tough one this year. Proud of me. 🥰

Merry Christmas, you filthy, filthy animals x

So, let's try doing #duvetknowitschristmas here this evening? People are literally Driving Home For Christmas right now, which MIGHT JUST mean that they'll be sleeping somewhere unusual. 1/

Here’s something childish to raise the tone here

In the northern hemisphere, the coldest part of the winter is still to come. So I see it as a gift that we do not have to face the double burden of the bitterest days alongside a deepening dark. Even in the bleakness of the harshest January or February day, the light is creeping back in.
