I love how people are acting like this is Bluesky's idea when once again, every website on the internet is going to either be doing this or geoblocking the state by next month because THE STATE PASSED A FUCKING LAW SAYING THEY HAVE TO

I've been down the most fascinating rabbit hole this evening. A charity here in the UK called Heritage Crafts are giving bursaries for people wanting to learn endangered crafts. Just some of the crafts on the list: 1/

Qatar's labour market shrank after the World Cup. Recruiters in Doha are now targeting migrant workers to serve on the Ukrainian front for Putin’s army. Story from Doha for @josimarfootball.bsky.social with @bobbyperu.bsky.social. josimarfootball.com/2025/09/25/t...

Migrants already carry out work for their communities, it’s called ‘having a fucking job’ and it’s mandatory because we aren’t eligible for benefits

The rules of SNCF 1️⃣ We dislike running any train that goes at less than 300km/h 2️⃣ We dislike it *even more* if someone else would like to run trains instead of us (See reactions to RATP winning a contract for TERs in Normandie, today’s argument about Paris NightJet cancellation)

Bit of Cross-Border rail today, so naturally I had to book @seatsixtyone.bsky.social

There's a lot of buzz around this role.

it's the one painkiller that's safe enough to take during pregnancy! OF COURSE THEY TAKE IT. autistic babies are going to be born from people who took tylenol, because that's how /most/ babies are born, autistic or neurotypical

If I was at Oktoberfest and Drake was there I would be paying an oompah band a frankly embarrassing amount of money to follow that nonce around playing a Bavarian brass version of 'Not like us'

Tempting as though it is to - as Churchill said of Chamberlain - view our national affairs through the wrong end of a municipal drainpipe, I do not believe Keir Starmer has convinced France, Canada and Australia to recognise the Palestinian state to protect Wes Streeting’s majority.

For the first time the AfD has nudged ahead of the Union in this national polling aggregator, perhaps Germany's most reliable. Beware cope about the AfD losing this or that mayoral election, including in NRW this coming weekend. Something important is shifting.

ok mr smart guy then why don't you tell me what the "appropriate" level of pyrotechnics for a funeral is

Critical part of the President's new $100,000 charge for H1-B visas: The Administration can also offer a $100,000 discount to any person, company, or industry that it wants. Replacing rules with arbitrary discretion. Want visas? You know who to call and who to flatter.

Microsoft has issued an internal memo advising H1B employees to return immediately if currently abroad, including family members. The new “fee” comes into effect tonight at midnight. People also share that this is causing travel disruption

"Selling Out Is Bad" is a valuable concept and despite all the baggage and bullshit and elitism it could contain it's actually really good to reinforce the ideal that having integrity when it matters, especially when it hurts, is what good/cool people do. Should be adapted instead of jettisoned.

It's the same as when the fash protest here in Berlin. The police go soft on them because it's awkward to beat your coworkers on their day off and then have to see them on shift next week.

True story. Robert Redford auditioned for the lead in The Graduate. Mike Nichols, the director, wasn’t convinced, claimed Redford couldn’t play a loser. Redford pushed back. Nichols: “Have you ever been turned down by a woman?” Redford: “What do you mean?”

not an exaggeration to say I am WEEPING with laughter at this reply from someone who hadn't seen that Robert Redford died today

This is honestly worth reading for my younger audience, you probably (?) have huge gaps in your understanding of this. This focuses earlier decades, but there was quite a profound shift of culture in my lifetime you probably missed yourself.

Probably a good time to remind people that of all christian sects, Mormons have been RAPIDLY escalating political violence in the last 20 years and returning to the religions roots.

"if i wanted to get news from clowns, i would go to the circus myself" is definitely going to enter my lexicon with gusto

Let’s make one thing clear from the start: Charlie Kirk was the victim of a shooting in a country where he, along with other right-wing extremist influencers, have been inciting violence for years. — Kirk is neither a martyr nor a hero, he is a cause.
