I thought the same and was very keen to understand if the issue had arisen in large countries with 50mill-plus populations geographically near the UK @permaconfused.bsky.social

I nearly let this one slide ... but I juss couldn't ... I have read some really fucking dumb shit in my time but this ⬇️ might just take the cake. I'm not gonna shame the writer by naming names. Enough to say Antipodean and quite obviously batshit fucking mental.

Invent the steam engine. Then the jet engine.

Shiverman - Fat Freddy’s Drop Pictures of You - The Cure Jesus To A Child - George Michael Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell Wicked Game - Chris Isaak 3am Eternal - The KLF Trouble - Ray LaMontagne Song To The Siren - This Mortal Coil Linger - Cranberries Jolene - Dolly Parton

1989. Banger.

Long read. Very much worth your time.

The only way to read this is as analogous to ‘last days in the bunker under central Berlin’ Glueing coins to doors. Leaving a meeting to talk to a gardener. If the man has read Hegel, I’m a tin of tuna. (Line caught)

Very much worth c.2 mins of your time ...

This guy ⬇️ is right. We don't spend enough time talking about this ...

The naivety of these people should be studied in laboratories in order to discover an antidote ...

I have not seen the phrase 'infra dig'* in the wild for bloody decades and now I've seen it twice in 24 hours. This is how conspiracy theories start. *British phrase meaning 'beneath one's dignity or socially inappropriate'

<Viktor Yeschenko before and after he was poisoned has entered the chat to shout ‘WTF?’>

Well well well … gas wells, obviously … it’s the Norwegians … But seriously, 90% of Norwegian electricity generation is hydropower with another 9% by wind.

An astute thread full of concise thinking. ⬇️ About NZ but applicable in a lot of places

An absolute worldie!! #WAFR

Imma get into the habit of posting one of these old pics every time I see an artist's impression of a monumental arch or a ballroom or some such ...

<I know it's not the main point but .... WW1 France, wartime Germany and Japan; all of former Indochine south-east Asia, especially Cambodia; Syria and various other countries that have been pounded to bits have entered the chat shouting 'WTF'>

Two things: No shit Sherlock. And what was the first thing that happened that led to the closure of the strait?

Whenever I see these pics, I am reminded of this pic and all the others like it from 80+ years ago

I don’t know what I clicked but the algorithms have decided to feed me screeds of propaganda from Big Sardine. Something smells fishy.

The Old Grey Lady has found a big set of balls at long last …

“Say it ain’t so Joe … say it ain’t so”

Obligatory ⬇️

Take the wrong lesson from a movie If you shout really loudly and jab your fingers at a witness, they’ll confess to a heinous crime #AFewGoodMen

I’ve lived long enough to see some outrageously stupid takes about myriad subjects … but ‘the gospel has no ideology’ might be the stupidest I have ever seen …

Good fucking luck with one love.

"You there boy ... it's time to reopen Willow Run*" *Niche reference there but IYKYK.

Dr Jesus wept.

Alternatively ... the dude who keeps invoking God doesn't recognise a (really piss poor) depiction of the son of God ...

Give. Us. A. Fucking. Break. Taking the whole world for complete fools.

We are in a VERY strange place

A moment of diversion away from the headlines and the ShiteGeist™️ Cos music IS the answer (no matter the question) 1987. Early MTV and a video that SLAPS. #NewOrder youtu.be/mfI1S0PKJR8

This seems outrageously niche … The Welsh coast as some kind of proxy for Amity Island on the Massachusetts seaboard. Attn @twlldun.bsky.social Full-scale Jaws boat replica to open www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

If you see this, post something you saved because it's funny

If the multiple parallel universe theorists are correct, I want to know how the fuck I ended up in the one where this absolute garbage exists.

What the fuck is this?

So … the United States is now going to block the Strait of Hormuz. I have been around long enough to see some batshit mental shit in my time … and this is BATSHIT MENTAL.

“You there boy … what’s the latest from Hormuz?” <muffled shouting> “Are you fucking serious?”

How your email containing this news finds me …

“You there boy … how’d the peace talks go?” <muffled shouting> “Really? Less than a day? I’ve negotiated longer than that to buy a car”

Yeah. Right.

“They have no cards” if you just completely ignore a geographic royal flush.

Famous fast food purveyor 'Hamburger Regent' (you'll work it out) makes a really poor quality copy of Ronald the ScottishClown's fish fillet burger. Hamburger Regent's effort is a TERRIBLE abomination of a thing. #DontAtMe #AtSomeoneElse

A statement that is absolutely 100% the dictionary definition of the phrase 'hostage to fortune'

If I was this much of a fuckwit, I would not go on TV. It's that fucking simple.

You wot m8?
