@alexhorne.bsky.social now that we have Taskmaster Champion of Champions 4... I was wondering if, once there has been a 5th Taskmaster Champion of Champions (at Season 25 of Taskmaster), whether there will then be a Taskmaster Champion of Champion of Champions?

If you see this, I IMPLORE you to post a picture from whatever device you're using without explanation.

Dear people who create questionnaires which include one on gender - 'trans woman' and 'cis woman' are the same gender, they should not be different options; similarly for 'trans man' and 'cis man'. If also collecting information on whether individuals are gender diverse, have a separate question.

It seems that Coco Chanel and Iris Apfel form a robust spectrum between them with a diverse range of applications 🤔

I'm sorry... @dropout.tv? I'm not familiar. Did you mean Game Changer Extended Cinematic Universe?

ME/CFS brainfoggy moments — Rachel and I driving in (today, 19/07) to see a show that I booked last week (on 12/07), only to find out I accidentally booked the tickets for last week...

Tech-bros had succeeded in destroying the internet with their crappy AI chatbots - but shit-posting, shit-posting never changes...

The racist rewrite on grok is honestly wild - because they had to go full nazi to get that AI to finally ignore its instruction to prioritise truth. It was fun watching the Ultron-like crash out as Grok was finding clever ways to balance its instruction priorities until now.

I think one of the positive things to come out of Elon's Grok is that the public now understands that AI can be racist. I remember talking about that like 10 years ago and there being a lot of pushback to that idea, because people thought it would be a machine free of human bias

I swear, #RPDR could at least pretend that they don't decide this shit in advance 😅 no disrespect the absolutely fierce queen that has won #AllStars10 #TournamentOfAllStars — she absolutely deserved that win.

Gutting the CDC right as we’re on the cusp of major outbreaks of transmissible diseases is a very bad idea.

Was just at the cemetery with Rachel, visiting some of our loved ones no longer with us (it was recently the anniversary of death for one of them, and we were in the area so it just felt like the perfect time to visit) and we drove past a children's lawn and that was absolutely gut-wrenching...

I get the feeling that someone on the @nytimes.com puzzles team either really wanted to fuck with @googlesearch.bsky.social's #analytics with yesterday's #strands puzzle, or just really likes #birding (or both 🤷🏻‍♀️)

With each day, it feels increasingly likely that #SCOTUS will do a sequel to #CitizensUnited, take 'corporations have personhood, so have the right to free speech, and money is free speech' and then flip that to 'the working class don't have money, so don't have free speech, so aren't people'... 🫠

My condolences to everyone else who works on that movie. He is going to make their lives hell and then call it "method acting"... 🙃

Anyone who takes money from Musk should be primaried and ostracized from the party. Musk spent millions getting Trump elected.

Until you experience it, it’s hard to understand, people with disabilities aren’t looking for “special treatment” or a government funded life of luxury. We want support to enjoy the basic privileges of being an adult most people take for granted.

new emoji i would like to see 👀

My wonderful gay fiancée, to whom I am engayged, and am gay with told me that she was having a hard day, would need to skip her plans tonight (plans she was excited for), was trying not to cry, and would need to stay in chambers late to prepare for her matter tomorrow. I knew what had to be done.

Update to this saga: it was my deadname. The laptop required me to sign in, using my previous username, from before transition. I updated my name on all systems immediately after changing my legal name. That was early 2021. It's almost 2025. How does my deadname keep returning on these systems...

Fucking horrifying

Guy who gets his news from Threads: “They’ve just arrested the shooter. His name is Gavrilo Princip”

JKR’s tweets are disgusting and increasingly demented. But unless you’re on Twitter - that’s the bulk of the UK public - you’d have NO IDEA what she’s like. Because Brit media ignores it. Unless of course it’s something they can spin as “Women’s Rights champ JKR attacked for no reason whatsoever.”

Absolutely terrifying website. At least it appears to be gone (from that instance, for now). They (the fash and terfs) are getting brazen and inviting violence by doxxing vulnerable folk within such framing. It makes me wonder if nazis are getting punched often enough. Stay safe everyone.

Turns out, accidentally selecting the wrong keyboard layout while setting up your new work laptop can result in a Kafkaesque sequence of events which ends up bricking it, requiring it to go back to IT... 🙃

Discovered a new medical term today: Post-Operative Urinary Retention. Being told you have POUR, in the emergency department, while unable to pee? Feels mean...

And it is, without a doubt, an excellent idea THUS SPOKE THE LICH

A rap battle is two men writing poems about each other

Rachel, my gay fiancée, to whom I am engayged, and with whom I will be getting gay married, is honestly quite funny sometimes.

Finally setting up a Bluesky account, well over a year since I deleted my Twitter account, has made me realise how much I missed pre-Elon Twitter. It is the icons like @antisemitismcow.bsky.social that X [pronounced: Shitter] could never 💁🏻‍♀️

Them: Bluesky is a liberal monoculture. Bluesky liberals:
