Whew. Good thing I've been taking Paracetamol and not Acetaminophen this whole time.

Happy September Equinox

This is Honda Chief Engineer Shotaro Odate. Believe it or not, this man is 84 years old!

Brand new version of Scrapboard is here 📢 You can now see a preview of the images inside your boards! Check it out now at 👉 scrapboard.org 👈

What stops people from creating a few tens or hundreds of accounts and using them to boost likes on posts strategically? It feels like no social media (including Bluesky) cares about solving this.

This turned out to be more work than I anticipated... but it's totally a must have for @scrapboard.org

Keir Starmer or Rachel Reeves should come out and invite every worker affected by this to come to the UK. Of course, they won't, because they have absolutely no imagination.

A food tier list I can get behind

The original true crime? In 1991, hikers in the Ötztal Alps found Ötzi the Iceman, a mummified corpse who was likely the victim in a prehistoric homicide.  What we know for sure is that he was well-fed, carried weapons, and bore over 60 tattoos.  Thaw out more clues ➡️ w.wiki/7o7W

The Tron: Ares soundtrack is out and it is pretty good.

What a name

The @channel4.bsky.social Trump v the Truth programme that's on right now is pretty amazing.

Gosh, you open Threads once and they start spamming you with silly notifications.

Today is the 30th anniversary of Hackers

I've written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage, urging them to join me in condemning Elon Musk's dangerous remarks inciting violence yesterday. As leaders, we must stand together and make clear Musk will face serious consequences for these actions.

So yeah, like I was rambling out the other day, we basically have confirmation that self-hosting doesn’t equal sovereignty. Even if you run your own PDS, the app layer remains the choke point. Bluesky proper (or any other dominant client) can quietly choose not to surface your content.

We need more of this type of stuff. Asylum seekers and the communities they are housed in having a discussion. It's clear to me that majority of these people are just trying to find a better life and that we should accept them. They are eager to work and pay taxes. news.sky.com/story/what-d...

I wonder if Banksy predicted this would happen and so tested different paints to see which would stain best.

It’s hilarious to me how the first accessory they showed off for the iPhone Air was a battery. #AppleEvent

You always gotta come outta retirement for family

Ugh. I think my Eustachian tube is blocked.

To transform the country and take on the populist right - Labour must offer a popular, principled and practical left politics for meaningful change. @mainstreamlabour.bsky.social, launching today, seeks to do this. Find out more in the link on the thread below.

Well this was startling.

Love this series

Disney really making it hard for me to want to watch this. Even though I’m a hugeeee Tron fan.

OK! Today's the day! Kicking off the home for the #PrivateDataWG in the new @atprotocol.dev hosted Discourse forum Thanks to @ngerakines.me for spinning up the infra, including login with ATProto powered by AIP If you're interested in Private Data, login and introduce yourself.

I don’t always wake up in the night. But when I do it’s because there is a movie set next to my house filming in the middle of the night and I left my window open.

Why doesn't KWS accept IDs anymore for adult verification on Bluesky? reddit.com/r/BlueskySoc...

Wow. I didn’t realise Hollywood was doing poorly these days.

“The government has flunked the simplest test for a Labour administration: how to respond to an insurgent hard right…the opportunities for progressive politicians to seize this moment are simply waiting to be taken”. Spot on - and exactly what the Greens & @zackpolanski.bsky.social will do 👇

So at what point does one go from writing "Working on @Some_Project" in their bio to writing "Founder of @Some_Project" instead?

important to reiterate from time to time: "artificial intelligence" does not exist. there is no sentient artificial being. no threepio. no demerzel. no terminator. what the tech publicists call "a.i." is just big, crappy databases and mindless and often incorrect autocorrect.

It really sucks that flu is just the body basically freaking out and that's the symptoms you feel. I say this as I am now suffering those symptoms.

First trailer for ‘HOUSE OF GUINNESS’ starring Anthony Boyle, Louis Partridge, Danielle Galligan, Emily Fairn, Fionn O’Shea, and James Norton has been released. Premieres September 25 on Netflix.

ATProto may live on if Bluesky dies, but it will see nowhere near the same level of adoption as it would if Bluesky thrives. That is why Bluesky does need revenue and for that it needs growth.

Bluesky is shrinking rather than growing. It has no source of revenue. If it doesn’t grow, *it will die*. Constantly making it unwelcoming, saying who you don’t want here, setting rules for what other sites people should and shouldn’t use, and the like, will kill it quicker.

If I were trying to win elections and arguments, I simply would be doing everything I could to move UK political conversation away from a website run by an avowed enemy who believes and writes this stuff about me:

This is perfect @scrapboard.org material

There should be no differences between jetstream1.us-east.bsky.network and jetstream2.us-east.bsky.network, right? I am straight up not able to receive org.scrapboard.listitem records via jetstream2, but they are coming through just fine in jetstream1. #atproto

I hate websites that do this so much.

Pro Tip: you can and should archive crucial things people have said that show their true colours using tools like archive.ph and web.archive.org. Accountability requires thorough and trusted documentation.

It’s even worse than I thought. UK trans people have every right to be upset.

I think if Britain colonised your country of origin you should get free BBC iplayer.

obviously if you're angry with something you should shit on the people trying to make the world better instead of shitting on the people making the world worse, that makes complete sense!

Remember folks, everything you post on the internet has a tendency to live on forever. We may currently be living in a period of history where hypocrisy is rewarded and accountability is lax, but that will not always be the case.

I know i have like zero reach here but if you can share this I'd appreciate it youtu.be/oqjrVneBFyM
