EUROPA - From Jacint Roger (landru79.bsky.social) - https://flic.kr/p/2j5SAjh

Jeez these Victorian political party applications are just taking the piss now.

“Don't fight them. Don't waste your time struggling with them and trying to make sense to them. They'll never understand.” This is coming to me at exactly the time I needed to hear it, so maybe it’ll find you, too.

I’m not thrilled that apparently the secret to success in basically every field right now is “be really good at short form video”

Stay classy San Francisco

I reckon one of the biggest reasons Aus media loves Pauline Hanson so much is because she's perfected what they've always aspired to: being as racist as possible while maintaining a thin shred of concern-trolling plausible deniability by pretending you're just concerned about some other issue

Just a Temu (Anduril) ED-209 away from Verhoeven's satire at this point

Good piece from @drbenjaminjones.bsky.social. Fact checking One Nation is shooting fish in a barrel. The facts don't matter, it's the emotional claims which make her a success. My take: Progressives should follow the model of Mamdani in NY and build a hopeful, cross racial coalition.

AOC: The Republican Party’s brand is fear. They constantly want Americans in fear of somebody because, if you are not afraid of someone who is your neighbor, you’re going to realize who’s actually pickpocketing you.

OTOH squatting on a cryptocurrency name is a victimless crime

CBS staff, you have one job and that is to incept Bari Weiss into believing she can win over Isaac Chotiner.

this is a terrific opening paragraph for a dystopian pulp novel released in 1997

Background: a month ago I predicted the scum pond they've made will delaminate in ~5 years. That turned out to be ~5 years too optimistic, and here's why (I think). 2/x bsky.app/profile/mona...

He's talking about the democrats who threw a temper tantrum about being primaried out and didn't show up to vote against overriding Governor Stein's veto, right?? Right??? ncnewsline.com/2026/06/24/n...

Meanwhile memory chips are increasing in price so fast that by the time Neuromancer comes out this fall you will *actually* be able to get killed in Chiba City for 3 MB of hot RAM.

I especially love this diagram.

Victor Frankenstein walkinge yn a hurrye through a mall. He passeth a signe: BUILDE A BEAR. Victor Frankenstein doth pause, rolle up hys sleeves, walke ynto the store.

Have you ever seen this iconic image of the Ebola virus, from the first known outbreak in DRC in 1976? An electron microscopic image, it was captured by #CDC 's Fred Murphy, a virological giant and a very kind interviewee. He died yesterday. He will be missed, but his scientific legacy lives on.

Technically, they’re Remains now.

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.

Anyone saying he’s a decent man is also saying they don’t give two f-cks about all those that Labour has thrown under the bus in the past two years, especially trans ppl and migrants

So Will Cathcart is leaving WhatsApp and this is the new leader that Mark Zuckerberg has chosen.

Trump on an executive order he's about to sign that he clearly has no clue about: "Quantum ... cryptography. Does anybody know what that is?"

The Shinra Electric Power Company will be issuing a recall on the Pride month themed rainbow materia. We didn't know it would do that.

Starmer being able to lay out his own departure timetable (potentially over months!) is silly. You don't give a PM a farewell tour, you do the numbers over the weekend, roll him at 10am, and tell the voters he's gone to live on a nice farm in the country. You amateurs. You absolute toddlers.

It's so weird to see people pretend that news orgs and publishers haven't hated the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine since even before LLMs and have been doing everything in their power to destroy it for many years.

I need you to know that the shipping container into which the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope was packed for transport to the launchpad is called the Chariot, and the barge pulling the container to Cape Kennedy is called the Pegasus. So yes, this is a picture of a Pegasus pulling a Roman Chariot.

If people need an office for mental health as this NYT piece claims, by the same logic, retirement is a public health crisis. Better get Grandma a Microsoft Teams account & a 2 hour commute (sarcasm)

/considering JD Vance's bottomless and amoral ambition, fetish for sucking up to rich weirdos he thinks might benefit him, career-defining aptitude for burying and lying about everyone in his life, and transparent lack of a mortal soul "I wonder if this guy's political program would benefit me?"

Did Reform lose because they were too woke? A columnist earning 8 times your salary assumes the answer is yes, and investigates from there.

Reminder that at one point when Zuckerberg was trying to break into China he asked Xi to name his child and Xi was “for the love of God, have some self-respect you weirdo”
