Why does everyone keep calling it “The Epstein Ballroom?” Please stop repeating “The Epstein Ballroom” because it is not called “The Epstein Ballroom!” Don’t tell the news that it’s called “The Epstein Ballroom” and please don’t repost this!!!!!

I know I've mentioned how it seems house spiders are massive this year but this is bloody ridiculous

Having 3I Atlas get its Earth closest point on Dec 25 is basically this year's Dr Who Christmas Special.

It would have been a better plot if the AWS outage had been on at the same time as the Louvre robbery... "I told you... there's nothing Pierre can't do with a laptop." "Stop yapping and get the other end of this ladder."

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

Which gunpla in this store in Japan do you think is load bearing

It's always a run reminder that muskox are such tiny little things.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

I agree with this, “I WILL RESIDE IN MY ROBOT BUNKER WITH TOILET CARROTS TO SURVIVE THE WAR” is men’s version of “I want to live in a vintage farmhouse with all my female friends, we’ll raise goats and open a little knit ware and apothecary store”

you fucked around and now the Episcopalians are doing memes. are you happy now. are you

And the craziest part is this was needless. Congress would've passed a military pay bill with near unanimous support! Congressional Ds have been begging Rs to bring a bill to pay the military to the floor! But Johnson refuses to gavel in because he doesn't want an Epstein vote.

how happy we’d all be if this was all the internet was for

I bought a cheap stereo(£10) so we had a way to play a tape based murder mystery. It had a CD left in it. Today I must have accidentally nudged it before leaving the room as a few minutes later I was treated to Tubular Bells mysteriously and terrifyingly serenading me in an empty house. #exocist

Every so often I write a reply, and delete it halfway muttering "Don't Jez. Just fucking don't. Don't get involved."

Take a few minutes to appreciate Drew Struzan creating the original artwork for THE PHANTOM MENACE. Truly a master at work.

Shared with the kids that time K-Pop stans trolled Trump at a rally. They thought it was just as funny as I did. Such fine work.

Does anyone have any warhammer giant’s hands going spare? I need a few of them (as many as possible) for … reasons… Seriously, if you’ve ever built one and have spare hands on the sure you could sell or give me (skint) that would be fabulous. #Warhammer #HowlsIntoVoid #Manifesting

Yes - we'll give you a job... wait, bipolar? er... <door slams, car roars away> Job hunting at 50+ is zero fucking fun. I'll tell you that.

On the narrative that AI is financially unsustainable and will collapse: I think its proponents have completely missed the pricing strategy. Get us hooked. Diminish the workforce. Jam up the prices. As long as it's 20% cheaper to pay AI than a person - companies that have transitioned will stick.

Well don't I feel stupid

Michael Crick, journalist: “It depresses me how much fellow political journalists are down-playing this - a dranatic story not just about Russia corrupting a British politician - as they've done in Germany & France - but also about the character judgement+relationships of Reform leaders Farage+Tice”

Holy shit, this is great news for once.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA 10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

After all these years of going to Fairs, I think this remains my favorite photograph, thanks in large part to that woman standing in front of me

I have taken the Tylenol that was in the medicine cabinet and which they think probably is the reason you like trains forgive me but that’s bullshit you got autism from your dad

For anyone concerned there may be something to the Tylenol-autism BS, I present:

You know, Gaddafi used do weird improv/free-association rants at the UN.

I know Bluesky is probably the wrong demographic to answer this, but I'm really curious and surely some of you are either not quite decrepid or know Yoots you can ask... There are no mobile phones in dreams. Is this true for people under 20? #dreams #question

Finally, something that definitely IS going to happen tomorrow...

I hope there's a live cam from the ISS of the rapture, all those people flying off into space is going to look amazing.

Finished Dogs Of War by @aptshadow.bsky.social More well executed misunderstandings and ruminations on the nature of sentience. You could see where it was going, but the journey was fun and Rex was a good dog. On to Fourth Wing and Katabasis next.
