I know this might be hard to hear, but Rockstar isn't going to give you free early access to GTA6 for defending them on the internet. I'm sorry, mate; your bootlicking anti-union rant didn't actually mean anything. There's still time to delete it.

What's it like in your head?

@rtgame.bsky.social Even scripted my damn YouTube thumbnail algorithm

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Hey! Remember when we won that Golden Lobe award? Well, the folk at #PodBible gave us a little space to celebrate our win and spread our gospel! @cheerfulearful.bsky.social #goldenlobes Give it a read here: podbiblemag.com/catching-up-... @e-loud.bsky.social

US "Christians" aren't even clowns anymore, they're the whole damn circus.

The NB/GF(/whatever, I hate labels) experience of ordering a bunch of make-up to try while you're feeling more that kind of person, and then not being that kind of person anymore when it turns up... (Plus the ADHD experience of rarely even putting on nail polish, because what is time management?)

texting my friend after every hang out

What a massive cunt Starmer is.

Breaking News: According to the (rogue, genocidal) State of Israel, hospitals are not legitimate military targets, and their targeting is criminal and should invite global condemnation. The bloodstained rubble of Palestine must be relieved to finally hear this.

Zach Braff followed me on Twitter for a month. I don't get out much...

Casual reminder to the California national guard and, potentially, the US Marine Corps, that "just following orders" has, historically, been a shaky defence. Just in case it becomes relevant in führer- uh, future.

I think I've realised what gets me about Hinge. It's the fact that, if you're responding earnestly and honestly to a prompt, then what you're saying could, at any other point, be the start of a genuine conversation - of genuine connection, even if not ultimately romantic. But it doesn't happen.

The non-binary version of mommy/daddy should be n'baddy send tweet

Should I just turn up at therapy with these? Would that help skip some of the unpicking?

Remember... We WON AN AWARD for this! Unbelievable! Ep 436: The Award Winning Podcast 16/05/25 @e-loud.bsky.social

Should be using my last free evening for the next 3 days to go over lines, in preparation for dress rehearsals tomorrow and Friday, and opening night on Saturday. Instead, I'm planning a(nother) D&D one-shot I came up with while looking at cool items yesterday. My priorities are absolutely shot.

The Sun’s out, the sky is blue… So Paul and Eli are off to explore one of London’s “Magnificent 7” cemeteries, because of course they are! @paulgannonshow @elisnoid Ep 434: Cemetery Men Available In Stereo & Mono www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-434-cemet... Share/Review #podcast

Every Oblivion Remastered review which isn't a meme or reference, mentions it being unplayably unoptimised, janky, and prone to crashing. Good to see Bethesda swung for authenticity.

Congratulations Keir Starmer on finally coming out of the closet as a full-blown transphobe. We all knew. You weren't as subtle as you thought. It's good to finally have it out in the open.

What if you can't remember, because your memory is awful/your brain has locked it behind protective "childhood trauma" barriers with a load of other stuff... I just remember one of them was wood-chip wallpaper (not by choice). No wonder I've turned out like I have done.

I think I've finally reached the point of "I just don't care" with Doctor Who now. Been orbiting it for a long time, but I feel like RTD's cemented it. Everything has a certain, self-satisfied smugness to it. It doesn't feel like I'm watching a TV show anymore, just 'RTD's "Aren't I Good" 45mins'.

If I don't read your joke, April 1st marriage proposal until tomorrow, it actually counts as serious. Just FYI.

Someone online: Saying that self-awareness and personal growth are important to understanding that you can't let your problems rule you. Can't let people dictate your life. Should seek help, and stop holding on to negativity. Me: Pointing out that self-awareness etc. is valuable for everyone-

I hate that interacting with adverts on social media in *any* way, even just clicking the little 'fuck the fuck off my timeline' X, counts as "so you say you want to see every ounce of this kind of advert that we could possibly force through your retinas and into your overloaded grey matter".

Casually pacing around the kitchen, trying to work out what I can make a breakfunch sandwich out of & muttering my brain's brand new 'spicy guacamole' song (🎵"spicy guac., spicy guac., spicy guac-a-mol-E"🎵) to myself, like a slightly more unhinged Howard Moon. How am I still single? (Don't answer.)

The amount of times I interrupt myself doing or saying something absolutely random of completely nonsensical, while by myself, is silly. I say "what the fuck am I doing?"/"I don't know what the fuck I'm doing" to myself an awful lot for someone who's apparently 32.

The Venn-diagram of the Labour Party, the Conservative Party, and gross, inhumane cunts has never been this perfect of a singular circle.

Picnic season, soon.

What is the fucking point in the fucking Labour party.

One of the wonders of the internet is being able to call out Americans for being or doing something negative, and have that statement draw so many case in point examples that the sheer lack of self-awareness on display would be funny were it not so utterly depressing. Like doomed moths to a flame.

Well I think he got that wish.

Gee, I wonder what on Earth this item could be. Thank you for honouring the privacy of my personal email account by withholding this deeply intimate and utterly mysterious information.

If I ever say or do something unhinged, pause, boop you on the nose and say "undo", you are morally and legally obligated to forget that I said it. Please.

Sometimes, I come up with a mental image I really, *really* want to draw, but I can't draw for shit and the entire process ends up just being frustrating, so I consider buying a tablet for QoL (like a fucking 'undo' function) and have to convince myself I can't afford this acute hyperfixation--

Every time I see this gif, I can't stop thinking "damn, Peter O'Hanraha-hanrahan took a career turn".

Depends how presentable I've made myself. Sometimes it's a 1 or 2, other times more like a 4-5 if my hair's a bit greasy, I've not shaved, and I've just thrown stuff on, or have my RBF set. Around 7-8 if I'm both looking scruffy AND have extreme RBF.

Being less-than-binary, pansexual & chronically single on dating apps: Pros: - You can recognise that 90% of commonly gendered dating/dating app complaints you see/hear about are not, in fact, gendered or even gender-specific - people in general are difficult Cons: - Everyone on there is difficult

New Harry Potter film drinking game: drink the first time either a character or an actor (including animals) appears during a scene, if they die during the course of the films* or are dead IRL; down your drink if both are true. *Limit to just the film you're watching if you don't want to join them.

Nothing quite like pulling up one of the stupidly numerous streaming sites, to watch a film you saw on there a week ago and made a note to (re)watch later, only to discover it's vanished Doesn't make me constantly wonder what the point of these greedy services is anymore, nor want to burn them down

i'm tired of being told to stop doomscrolling. i'm just scrolling, it's not my fault there's doom on there

(In more complain-y news, Instagram has decided to conveniently 'forget' I've muted a bunch of stuff recently, and keeps interrupting my emotional support doomscrolling with emotionally-piercing reminders of why I'm so often stuck doomscrolling to begin with. (So that's been fun to deal with.)

It's not much, but watching AI bros erupting in fury that Chinese AI have stolen what they rightfully stole is 😙👌 perfect antidote to some of the shit this year has already thrown around.

I suppose I shouldn't expect much (or anything) from a company that, when I reported an account for impersonating me, using my name and screenshots of me from old YT videos, *and admitting it to me on Messenger, pledging to carry on doing it*, they said it was all fine and above board; case closed.
