why do nerds suddenly appear every time I post here

If y’all could report @authorfisherbooks.bsky.social, that is not me, that is a scammer attempting to relieve people of funds, probably by selling book services.

I want to be clear that there are countless monsters who have had primarily humanities educations (including most politicians). It doesn't inoculate you from doing bad things. BUT. It's just not competent to end up doing tech without background at least a fundamental understanding of...

While I understand the general sentiment I don’t think my body is designed for crow pose

How do you go from being an England winner of the World Beer Awards '24 to being cancelled in favour of a dead 40 year-old brand that was just premium pißwasser with a slogan ripped off from Weetabix?

I liked Doombar. I don’t care about Carling. Boo

I think about her a lot because of this

It’s fun how this info comes on the heels of Hegseth ordering his minions to use AI and then threatening Anthropic with consequences unless they give the military unrestricted use of their AI.

Well the whole country is officially known as The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, but we shorten it to UK and GB as abbreviations because they're actually questions. UK: You Okay? GB: Going bad. Thank you for listening to my incorrect ted talk.

Like if I hadn’t joined the greens already, that’s a manifesto that would make me join

Yep! I really can't understand the fear of legalising drugs. I have never taken drugs and I am unlikely to start if they are legalised. Drugs are clearly easily available if you want them. Legalise them and use the tax to pay for addiction centres!

*Ominous soundtrack starts*

Unexpected item in the bagging area

In the end I settled on a pair of Grinders which seem reasonable quality at a lower price point, no better but also not worse than the significantly more expensive boots they replace. If they last a year I wont complain

Favourite revenge movie...

I sleep in a big bed with my spouse

Anyway, has anyone good suggestions for dealing with stress? Not mindfulness or breathing, that makes it worse, but I feel very much like Ross Geller when someone stole hs sandwich and that’s not sustainable

having a stress dream about a college exam is so embarrassing. like ma’am, you’re closer to menopause than graduation, please get a new fear.

Ewwwww

As if spam emails weren’t bad enough sales bods seem to now pivot to spam calendar invites and I reallly really don’t appreciate that

Once you really grasp that we’re tiny little creatures clinging on to a rock hurtling through space in an irrelevant little spiral arm of one of millions or billions of galaxies, conscious only for a blinking of an eye in the universe’s life, all this fussing & fighting seems really, really stupid.

Maybe just maybe we should look through his hard drives

What is all this anxiety about? Would be cool if it cools go away again. It’s distracting and probably not healthy.

Companies whose entire business model is stealing from everyone complaining about others stealing from them is an entertaining new genre.

5 German tourists have been rescued from “an ice floe carrying a sauna tent, a motorised saw and an onboard motor after they lost control of their DIY vessel in the Stockholm archipelago.” They attempted to “create their motor-powered floating sauna when the swell from a ferry broke the ice.” 🤪🥂

The European commissioner for human rights urges countries planning to exercise authoritarian restrictions on children's access to online connection to instead focus on creating safer online platforms that protect children's rights.

Same is true for business cases and strategy papers

It was the BBC's decision to wrongfully fail to edit the tic out originally. But how we all conduct ourselves is ours.

Any merit in the drivel I write comes from learning painstakingly how to write essays. To assay - to test - exactly what I thought and knew about a matter. Great essayists - Woolf, Orwell, Bacon, Montaigne, Hazlett - are utter intellectual joys as you read how they test themselves on topics too.

Poop Cruise 2, Electric Boogaloo soon on Netflix

This dude apparently is a professor. How?

Do elderly parents ever get easier? I really don’t want to argue with my mum but she is making it fucking difficult

“You’ll be mad when they start arresting people on YOUR side” nobody who had business with the paedophile is on my side. go get em lads

Your outdated pop music references bring all the boys to the yard

Your outdated pop music references are as serious as cancer

People have always found ways of cheating, but this is just so depressing. Feels like the inevitable endpoint of the commodification of education.

Good analysis. This is why I love and hate my job in equal measure

i can feel this brewing already bcos there is no easy answer? one way is racist and just expecting Black ppl to put up with harmful slurs and the other is ableist and saying that ppl with certain neurological conditions should be shut out of society. i don't think either of those is correct

Not Sara's point here, but if you are someone who sees Daily Tism posts and consistently thinks, "That's nothing to do with autism, everyone is like that," then I have some news for you and your enormous Warhammer collection or elaborate train set.

years of the "hang it in The Louvre" and someone finally did it!

Britain is never going to have a serious conversation about the fact that one of the queen's final acts in life was to knowingly spend millions protecting one of Jeffrey Epstein's top collaborators just because he was mummy's favourite special boy. She was a cruel, out of touch piece of shit.

A Xennial/Elder Millennial super power is being able to adjust to any infosphere collapse. We've lived through the deaths of radio, TV, newspapers, the first Internet, the second Internet, T9, Napster, Friendster, Club Penguin...all of it is ephemeral. We can adapt. We had Zunes FFS.

Good luck to the Chartered Institute of Legal Executives who are in court today in the Mazur case, challenging what can only be called (ahem, searches for polite term) one of the most extraordinary judicial decisions of modern times. Background www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/mazur-m...

Hear me out An app that reads bluesky posts and displays them in a phpbb format
