Ask me about Hotel Del Luna, I want everyone to watch it. :) I like cats, art, info about early years education and neurodivergence. And Hotel Del Luna. If I follow you I don't expect you do it back, don't feel like you have to. :)

Thing that’s most bizarre about this brand new €100k Kiddie Krusher isn’t just its enormous size, it’s that its annual road tax is just…€140. Ridiculous.

The best pranks are deserved and intricate yet easily debunked and this one has it all.

no shit? voters want democrats who are willing to actually fight for them? and don’t just openly hate them? and do more than go on the news to say they’re considering writing a letter? big news here

This is continued journalistic malpractice from the @startribune.com normalizing a violent white male suspect. He owned a private security company called Praetorian Guard, traveled overseas to preach against abortion and LGBTQ+ people, and attended a bible college that preaches "violent prayer."

The WSJ didn't include the reason in their headline. Must not have had space. I fixed it.

🤔 What would the next generation of outer Londoners like to see happen to their area to make it better for cycling? Well, we asked that very question to some of them, and here's what they said... ✍️ Support the campaign today: bit.ly/43YSUC7

I am telling you some appliance maker is missing out on the huge opportunity here to sell disconnected devices. You can have easy slogans like. It just washes your clothes and doesn't harass you. We are not spying on your underwear or your fries. We are not creeps. I would be first in line.

yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup

The killer is consistently described in the press as “a devout Christian who opposed abortion” as if that’s an essential trait of devout Christians. Many, if not most, “devout” Christians support abortion access. Melissa Hortman was a Catholic who taught Sunday school.

America just had a day of absolutely massive popular protest against its regime and its media treats it as a one day story, no follow up. Hey media, you know there are real people involved and leading. Maybe cover them? It’s noticeable msm refuses to build up leaders as icons. No MLK today!

Anyone??? Specifically VAT / VIES I'm interested in. #gamedev #indiedev

The fact that civilian leadership understands it can’t rein in the police without having their families physically threatened really is a democratic crisis.

The wilful disinformation being spread by Musk and others about the Minnesota assassinations on X is similar to what occurred after the UK's riots in summer 2024. Governments need to wake up to threats the platform poses to civil disorder and societal polarisation.

It’s not just Mike Lee — Bernie Moreno is pretending that a registered Republican evangelical anti-abortion Trump voter who assassinated a Democrat and had more on his hit list is a representative of “the extreme left”

It is really really sinking in for me the degree to which LLMs are the ultimate expression of right wing anti-intellectualism. Its proponents are literally mocking the idea that anyone would ever want to learn anything, know anything, develop any actual skill, or have a thought of their own.

It's gratifying to see Disney sue Midjourney for exactly the reasons I told the UK government they would in the consultation a month or two ago. 😤

There's a thread on AskReddit asking, "People who have had to drain their life’s savings on a single event, what happened?" 99% of the answers are depressing American stories about medical bills, 1% is an Australian who found a wombat burrowing under their house.

Me: take hours to read a book You: have your super hot ChatGPT girlfriend download a million books, read them, then summarize them all to you in a barrage of lies that you can't even tell are lies because you don't read books; also you have the critical thinking skills of a shovel-struck donkey

Underneath all of those articles is a deep fury that Bluesky punishes instead of rewarding lazy and/or hostile engagement farming. Try to build a following here with trolling and slurs and you'll find yourself in a ghost town. To them that is simply intolerable.

oh hey a father's day gift to me featuring some of my favorite people, projects, and city

Quite apart from the fact that 2 hours minus 2 minutes is not 58 minutes: These people are fucking idiots. The point of reading, or any other form of intellectual enquiry, is that you don't always know what is interesting until you start looking. Acquiring knowledge is not an engineering problem.

One reason I'm on Blueksky is I get to read smart people like this. I've never once wondered what Mark Cuban thought about anything and I've never heard of these other people who say they don't like it here.

You can blame online misinformation all you want, but as long as you have a justice minister boasting about deportations, and far right groups are setting up stall outside schools to harass foreign students and parents to little pushback, no misinformation is needed for the racists to do their thing

Part of the present for my husband on Father's Day. He loved these as a kid and we're fairly sure our son will take to them, too. Son said "It's a cat bat!" By @rhi.bsky.social

And there it is. The Minnesota assassin who shot Democratic lawmakers “voted for Donald Trump and was a strong Trump supporter,” according to his best friend.

Dear fuckwits. Britishness is a state of mind. It has fuck all to do with where you come from and everything to do with where you're going.

No better way to build morale in the military than forcing troops to march down largely empty streets in a thunderstorm to celebrate a draft dodger’s birthday

(we also respect kingfishers and kinglets)

do you think if i spin fast enough it’ll look like the horse is running 🤔 #store

The tech industry needs serious, meaningful regulation about the things it can sell and how it can sell them, and the neoliberal bullshit of “free markets” has allowed this nakedly harmful software to proliferate, taking advantage of the fact that more people than ever feel alone and desperate

With the tragic assassination of a Minnesota Democratic leader, I’m going to underline this point again.

this statement was made just yesterday

Glad he was clear about what this is. Politicians and journalists who can't call things what they are should find other professions.

Jesus. The juxtaposition of these two posts back to back is just...

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.
