The Pootie Shoe Rebrand episode of Mythic Quest by Elisha Henig is so bloody good

Happy Friday, everyone. Whatever you're planning to do with your evening, I very much doubt it'll as good as the one you could have had at Wannop's Gymnasium, New Cross, South East London, in 1892. But enjoy, nonetheless. 🥊🐎🍻

In the 1890s 'The Greatest Showman' Professor Alf Ball brought a boxing lion to the masses at the UK's fairgrounds. Today in 2025 his great great grandsons are hosting viral potato purveyor Spud Man (!) at theirs 😂 Clacton Pier is heaving. Love it. You've got to give the people what they want! 🦁🥔

Not to brag or anything, but I'm the worst thing to be created in Cambridge since the 28 Days Later virus

They say that persistence beats talent, but unfortunately for me, I have neither

An easy way to think about what chatgpt does: Take your favorite book. Cut it up into pairs of words: every pair that starts with "I," every pair that starts with "the," etc. Sort each pair into a pile by first word. The "The" pile will be big, the "giraffe" pile likely tiny.

✨👏🏾STANDING OVATION👏🏾✨

My first office job didn't have internet access but did have MS Word, so I had to get creative with my procrastination. I'd spend hours typing out song lyrics from memory and then deleting them again

You can't call yourself a goth unless you love this little guy

The reason I know that the KLF did not, in fact, burn a million pounds back in the 90s is because we spent some of the £50 notes intended for the fire in the local pub the next day after finding them fluttering down the beach with slightly singed edges. Better luck next time.

Can I get uhhhhhh extra ing please?

@keitht.bsky.social Hi, are you the Keith Topping who wrote Slayer and so on?

I met a one-legged mod at the tailor's today and I swear this isn't the set-up for a joke

🚨🚨EXTREMELY IMPORTANT BREAKING NEWS. WORLD’s TALLEST DOG MEETS WORLD’S SMALLEST DOG 🚨🚨

This is a familiar pattern, and not familiar in a good way.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.

Former journalist here. This is IMPORTANT. When you're telling people about your protest plans, include your local media!

This sucks, but also means if you want coverage, contact your paper in advance of an action. Give them quotes. Send them to folks to interview. We did this for the NOAA protests and got wall to wall coverage for a week, with frontpages, opeds, and followups.

Yes, it’s a bit hard to see now, but allowing the president to become a king who can kidnap citizens while also demolishing the global financial system is a small price to pay for getting to keeping 23 trans women from playing college sports.

It’s 9am TFT time here, and citizens are already gathering to protest Tariffs by the United States. Our plain clothes Officer Penguins are attempting to maintain calm, but unfortunately we keep losing them in the crowd.

We've finally got food waste caddies in our area. Any advice on how I can use these without them rapidly becoming disgusting? Our kitchen gets VERY hot, and I've heard the 'compostable' plastic bags are a con?

Brad Pitt to star in follow-up to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, directed by David Fincher www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ap...

This is so grotesque. I’m not competent to do this, but I would love someone to write a piece of code that would identify AI crawlers accessing a website and instead of giving them content send them poison till they blow up, like squeezing the venom back into a mosquito

Take me back to God's country

Why isn't there a genre of music called Fairground Rock?

At the heart of every AI story is a company that typically always makes a lot of money and just wants to increase its margin at the cost of literally everyone else in the supply chain

This speech is my recital, I think it's very vital To rock a rhyme that's right on time

Stalin was VHS and Trotsky was Betamax. What if? 🥲

Just put sewing things in an empty biscuit tin and felt a deep connection to generations of ancestors

@frankfiott.bsky.social can you confirm or deny that Numb by Linkin Park is in fact the Maltese national anthem? www.facebook.com/WhangYouTube...

So bored of the demands of having a physical body. I long to just be a brain in a jar.

Fun fact: Acclaim named itself Acclaim to appear ahead of Activision in alphabetical order, and Activision named themselves Activision to appear ahead of Atari.

Sometimes I get emotional because I just love history so much

Pleased to announce my life has a new slogan: If you can't do it with talent, at least try to do it with love

Pre-orders are crucial not just for writers but independent book shops, too. And in the post-twitter world people aren’t hearing as much about forthcoming books. So, a reminder: pre-order when you can, from independent bookshops, and have a nosey around bsky for your old bookish friends.

@w1ndrush.bsky.social gonna need to see your take on this

You know who should've won an Oscar last night? The person who designed the little 'Gravity on / off' buttons in Alien Romulus.

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit
