Spent a top afternoon in the local library in Stourbridge. What a rare pleasure to be surrounded by ideas and opinions and have many of them be well-written, well-researched, and here’s the fun bit, NOT SCREAMING AND WHINING AND TRYING TO USE AI TO MAKE UP FOR THEIR LACK OF LOVE Warm and cosy, too!

If you only see one show this year in which @robbotron.bsky.social wears a man named Ron’s hat on his penis, well, tough luck, it was tonight in Stourbridge.

Off to Stourbridge this evening to see @robbotron.bsky.social.

My spicy hot take is if someone has run onto a train platform and there isn’t another train for ages, OPEN THE DOORS TO THE FUCKING TRAIN. Keep ‘em open while the train is moving! Train doors only close when it leaves the station I DON’T CARE WHO DIES I’M COLD AND MILDLY INCONVENIENCED

Ahahahah it was perfect x

Fascinating that you’ve tagged in violence against women charities when among the things that have been forced to age gate or shut down as a result of the #OnlineSafetyAct are reddit support groups for sexual assault survivors. Also… Brits don’t tend to say ‘parking lot’, who made this video?

make racism cringe again

My penis becomes engorged based on sincerity and facts. Huge if true.

Negativity is bullshit. Not everything needs to be an all-or-nothing binary opinion. 'Dislikes' are a symptom of a disease YUCK.

30/10/25. 34. @robbotron.bsky.social’s The Dark Room @ The Atkinson, Southport. Had an “OUTSTANDING” time seeing The Guardian again, many Darrens killed (K-Pop Semen Hunters was a highlight!) and tortillas thrown… 🍍

@robbotron.bsky.social thank you for an amazing show in Southport (sponsored by golden sands). So happy I finally got to see you live. Hopefully you come back again in the future.

There are many pleasures in the world, and one of them is a window seat, the Vangelis Blade Runner soundtrack and just enough sleep deprivation to smile like you’ve just shat in someone else’s pants

The path from abusing foreigners to abusing the disabled is well-trodden. I I hope this nugget is bright enough to reflect on who else has walked it.

I’m glad we could take your mind off it for a bit!

Man goes to the doctor, says his achievements are meaningless and lost in the sands of time. Doctor says, “You should go see the ruined statue of Oxymandias, king of kings! Look upon his works, ye mighty, and despair!” Man despairs, shaking sand out of his vast, trunkless legs, “But doctor...”

Please to enjoy our buccaneering adventures. Is booty plundered? Well, mine was

@robbotron.bsky.social @staggeringlygood.bsky.social great show tonight. First time seeing “Plays with the audience” and did not disappoint. John always brings the fun and madness in equal measure. Always welcome in Pompey. Come back soon. 🍍

Forgive me, Chicago, I was not aware of your game

The thing about these grindset lifestyle posts is that they're all fake. None of it is real.

Making fun of extremists is just and good and most importantly, funny. Their radicalisation is usually some version of feeling mocked or left out. They’ll gussy it up sometimes, but mostly they weren’t invited to a party, or a pretty girl called them a loser once so now everyone else has to die.

Thinking about the @lindsayellis.bsky.social video where she noted how white nationalists co-opted American history X and all these other “strong” critiques but can’t handle “Springtime for Hitler” because of how ridiculous it makes them look

Portland never stops being Portland.

What strikes you as more likely? That the whole country of seventy million people has unaccountably gone insane, or that maybe two thousand people who all know each other and work together, often in the same building, have slowly roasted each others’ brains to lunacy. www.ft.com/content/c7e4...

as a girl with a PhD in natural language processing and machine learning it's actually offensive to me when you say "we don't know how LLMs work so they might be conscious" I didn't spend 10 years in mines of academia to be told ignorance is morally equal knowledge. We know exactly how LLMs work.

A gamechanger!

This. Is. Why. I. Paint.

Fun fact: a “Tilly Norwood” is old-timely sex slang for a made-up fuck that never happened. Derives from sailors paying to fingerbang seals in the Pacific (a “tilly” is where the seal pimp stores coins, “nor wood” suggests no penis can enter the seal.)

Knew this was coming.

We’re starting to forget, as a society, how to do parables and allegories. Everyone thinks they’re clever for asking “yes but WHY did the wolf want to blow down the little pig’s house?” but you lose the heart of the story if you give the wolf a backstory.

Next week, 7pm 9th October, don't miss @aptshadow.bsky.social at Leeds Waterstones for a very special panel event on "Building Brilliant Worlds" alongside @rjbarker.bsky.social and @davewragg.com in association with @britfantasysoc.bsky.social! Tickets only £5! www.waterstones.com/events/panel...

I had the worst lunch. Honestly. Maybe @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social could cover the rise in the far right, in racist attacks and, you know, the effect on millions of British people instead of platforming them every night I'd settle for @theguardian.com doing even basic coverage of racism in the UK

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

36th episode of the Quantum Leopard podcast w/ JOHN ROBERTSON @robbotron.bsky.social is now out! We talk about The Dark Room and audience consent. Enjoy! quantumleopard.podbean.com/e/episode-35...

Post a fictional comedian who would definitely accept an invitation to the Riyadh Comedy Festival

people thinking the year itself was special, and not the fact you just happened to be young and had more friends/less responsibility at that specific time, will forever be wild to me

Face it, if you’re performing for a regime that murders journalists, you may as well do some hacky jokes

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

I’ve got one of these. No, you don’t all bloody need one. Dull, dehumanising shit

I think it’s important and not discussed enough that the majority of the alt right gamersphere “leaders” are actually taking massive amounts of people’s money and delivering them nothing but endless rage for it.

It's not an original thought but the fire safety education programme in Pontypandy really did leave a lot to be desired, didn't it

World News: 🇺🇸 Fascist lust for power equals their leader’s dead friend’s lust for children 🇬🇧Mandatory digital ID means everyone is now called Boaty McBoatface 🇸🇦 Comedy festival has people laughing their heads off 🌦️ Sure

Couldn’t agree more, which is why (IMHO) I feel that @umbrellaent.bsky.social are one of the best at this here in Australia. Keep up the incredible work.

World News 🇺🇸 Alleged Chum Of World’s Most Famous Sex Trafficker Points Frantically At Dead Podcaster, Autism, Pregnant Women and Headache Pills In Hopes You’ll Forget The Whole Sex Trafficker Thing 🇬🇧 Unelected Minority Party Gets Front Page Again For Some Mysterious Reason 🌦️ No

Why is this horse pumper having a War On Autism There’s no oil in autism

‘Orchid’ comes from the Greek orkhis, meaning testicle, because of the shape of its tubers. In Middle English, orchids were called ‘ballockwort’ for the same reason.

"You're irrelevant on Bluesky!" m8 I was irrelevant on Twitter where I had 110k followers and frequently got over a million views on my videos. It was still just shitposting on a social media site. Deciding that posting is activism has rotted a lot of brains on all sides.

It really is like Nixon live blogging Watergate and the journalism establishment saying eh, what can you do
