*knock,knock* "Got any eggs?"

I will remember today as the day the 47th President of the United States, Donald J Trump, signed with sharpie, broadcast live to the world, an executive order undoing a ban on plastic straws stating "paper straws explode" and plastic straws "aren't going to bother sharks." None of that is a lie.

Cunning as I am I'm no linguist but why doesn't "anti-islamic" carry the same gravitas or weight as "anti-semitic" appears to?

Melania Trump's outfit at the inauguration is fucking dope. #InaugurationDay

Happy New Year to those who celebrate. Here's to the year that was and the one yet to be. May you give and receive abundant kindness in 2025. "And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been." - Rainer Maria Rilke Cheers big ears.

A-hoy hoy A merry xmas eve to all. I hope you and yours have an amazing day however you spend it. To those that know me from the other place, I wish you all well. I'm still hanging with the fallen ones when online, though less & less even there lately. I hope 2025 shines favourably upon you. - AS

Someone should make a show about this farce. "A US family court in Nevada rejected Rupert Murdoch's demand to make changes in a family trust that was created in 1999 to divide Murdoch’s mega media empire amongst his four oldest children." www.outlookbusiness.com/news/murdoch...

Do you think it's petty that Bluesky changed the little bird emoji from blue to red? Peeps were using it show their old Twitter handles. This civil war between the Blue Birds & Skeeters is building speed with it's own momentum. Come on Skeeters, can your 20 million strong take down an army of 600m?

There's an increasingly popular line going around that the people of conscience that couldn't handle the horror are really to blame for Trump, instead of the horror itself. Don't blame people for being principled, blame political parties for lacking them

Look I reckon the answer is probably no and in addition, fuck off.

Now that many of you "tweeps" have fled for bluer skies I've replaced our genial morning wishes of hope & coffee back over at the blue bird with telling them all that the people of Bluesky hate them instead. I'm not sure how long it's going to take but I'm determined to get this civil war underway.

Ok, BlueSky people who have dwelled here since the beta version was opened to the public am I right in assuming I can't upload my own animated gifs, I can only use the crappy, low quality Tenor selection that's built in? This dramatically limits my vocabulary and hurts my eyes.
