Some of you really need to step away from the news and go out and get some fresh air or something. It's not healthy to be constantly immersed in and drowning in horrors. Go and fuss a cat or pet a dog, for the sake of your sanity.

the 45,000 gun deaths we suffer each year are just the price we pay to live in a society made safe from government tyranny by an armed populace

Unexpected Wholesomeness™ is possibly my favourite thread genre:

The Board of Peace is now official

Isn't this a telling aspiration? To want robots to look after your kids, so you can do stuff, rather than robots to do stuff, so you can spend time with your kids? The darkness inside these shrivelled men must be like a gaping unfillable void.

What's your sign

(a snippet from a long and interesting thread that, nevertheless, stands on its own feet)

New Last Of The Summer Wine looks fucking *intense*.

Company I work for makes a point of hiring people that fit the family culture. It's a great place to work, and cow orkers are easy to get along with.

“Wonderful! Just wonderful! … So much for instilling them with a sense of awe.”

Fun in the snow! ❄️🌨️

Graffiti in hell

BOOM 💥 This is why hydrogen gas leaks are a terrible houseguest. Phil went full Mythbusters and stress-tested methane and hydrogen for home heating in a kitchen set-up 🧪 Both are dangerous. Hydrogen does not mess about. It burns up to 10x faster! 10/10 for science. 0/10 for kitchens.

As well as the history of illustrated cigarette ads in truck stop paperbacks, I just learned that Pratchett once left his German publisher because they worked a soup advert into the text of one of his novels without asking him. gmkeros.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/t...

Let's talk about generative AI, contaminated information, and rhubarb. Once upon a time, Europe was at war. Food was scarce, and the government of the quote-unquote United Kingdom looked for alternatives. 1/

@the-lazyknight.bsky.social Say, did you ever watch Starhyke? Reading the user reviews is probably the best way to enjoy it... www.imdb.com/title/tt1520...

bye 2025👋

Someone has lifted the QuickTimeVR movie files from 1994's "Star Trek: The Next Generation Interactive Technical Manual", upscaled them then built an in-browser replica of the ITM's "Tour" module. mijofr.github.io/st-panorama/ #StarTrek

My origin story:

Every year, when putting away the big Christmas food shop, I’m thankful for the skills I developed while playing hours and hours of Tetris in my youth.

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

Visitors are coming, so you clean your messy house because your standard of cleanliness is based on the houses you visit, houses that look spotless since they cleaned up before you arrived after seeing your house was clean when they visited. Together, we can stop this. Don’t clean up.

Another 'speed up Monopoly' tip. Play the official rules, which includes Auctions. If a player doesn't buy a property it should then be put out to tender for the highest bidder to buy. Yet the vast majority of UK monopoly players ignore this rule.

Really great to see this work on how good heat pump installs can be. An average seasonal performance factor (sCOP) of 3.9 beats gas on running costs, even in the UK where the price ratio between gas and electricity is so bad.

Trump sues Everybody!

And the Angel Gabriel appeared before Mary and said, “Ooh, I like your robe!” and Mary did reply, “Thanks! It’s got pockets!"

Absolutely amazing chart from @peterkellner.bsky.social's piece in @thenewworldmag.bsky.social today: www.thenewworld.co.uk/peter-kellne...

If anyone cares at all, EV battery recycling is now hitting 99% recovery for important metals Please remind me again what the recycle rate for fossil fuels is interestingengineering.com/energy/recyc...

All I want for Christmas is for "Keep me logged in" box to actually work on Microsoft services.

Don’t think much of the Amazon Black Friday sales. I ordered The Two Ronnies on DVD but instead I got four Kindles

Without saying Star Wars, name a science fiction film. The Truman Show

rich dudes got freakier after butlers fell out of fashion, like say what you will about having domestic servants but clearly it was some sort of moderating force on old rich dudes having a fancy man follow you around saying shit like "oh dear sir, that wouldn't be very becoming"

beautiful video looping, love every one of these videos so much www.instagram.com/p/DRm1vdNjL6a/

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

“And another thing! … I want you to be more assertive! I’m tired of everyone calling you Alexander the Pretty-Good!”

Wanna feel old? Yes! #lifegoal

Brits will keep paying far too much for energy until the govt addresses the massive inefficiency and waste in the energy system. @gjuk.bsky.social on @martinlewis.moneysavingexpert.com #MartinLewis

The BBC visited one of our Zero Bills homes, where resident like Steph pay £0 for energy (for 5 or even 10 years!) Zero Bills Homes are popping up across Britain, Germany, NZ and France. We’ve just secured another £100m funding, unlocking 1,000+ more affordable Zero Bills homes across the UK ⚡

All I want from @bsky.app is for the following feed to be presented as a linear timeline (preferably in reverse) that always opens at the last viewed position. Reading the day's events backwards can be so confusing.

We might have FINALLY met our match… #WorldBollardAssociation

We are living in the world that could rapidly become the Star Trek ideal. UBI, free healthcare, many jobs done by machine, freeing up humans to pursue the arts, education, exploration. But it's being run by the fucking Ferengi.
