Statistics state everything is getting better, but maybe it’s not good for my mental health - it doesn’t feel better. Can’t buy a house. 😅 Pension fund doesn’t look good. 😅 And it doesn’t make it better that statistically most people have it worst than me, that makes me feel even worse! 😂 #wellbeing

The new American pope presents a golden opportunity to introduce Italians to the miracle that is deep dish pizza. #pope

India has launched strikes in several parts of Pakistan and Pakistan-controlled territory, in a dramatic escalation of tensions between the two nuclear-armed rivals.

Around 1200 BCE, a number of Bronze Age civilizations seem to have collapsed in a storm of war, famine, and disaster. Were traveling sea raiders to blame? Climate change? Something else? 📖 Explore the mystery ➡️ w.wiki/BDUF

Interesting new features on, @bsky.app I see as a flair that I am followed by one #spam account and one #impersonator. Everyone else is not Pinocchio. These accounts are allowed to exist, but we get more information and ability to react? Interesting approach, reminds me of #reddit shadow-bans. 👍

So we’re all getting the bomb now? World gets shaken up a bit and everyone seems fine with the nuclear option for Europe. Weird how things change so fast.

Diese Parteien kann man bei der #Bundestagswahl in #Berlin wählen - und diese nicht.

Heute ist der internationale Tag des Gedenkens an die Opfer des #Holocaust. Es ist vor allem die Verantwortung Deutschlands, die Erinnerung und Mahnung an dieses unvorstellbare, aber leider reale Verbrechen aufrechtzuerhalten. "Nie Wieder!" darf keine leere Phrase sein! #Shoa

@garrykasparov.bsky.social great to see you diversify and come to Bluesky. Looking forward to commenting on your thoughts on here as well. I’m curious to see what flavor the conversations in the comments here will have compared to the other platform.

Yikes! Trump didn’t put his hand on the Bible at all for the oath! #inauguration

Trouble, indeed. He seems to be in the process of falling off a cliff. samharris.substack.com/p/the-troubl...

Hey (IPA: / heɪ /) is so old & universal, it is present in all languages I checked either as hey or ey & is assumed to be a natural human expression. What does the word mean? Incredibly it is just an interjection to get attention, perhaps older than #language itself. adam-pitas.com/2025/01/02/w...

⚡️ ‘They didn’t give a s**t’ — Zelensky rebukes those behind Budapest Memorandum. Zelensky said Ukraine was pressured into signing the Budapest Memorandum, and those who came up with the agreement should be jailed.

You're never too important to be nice to people.

I know how the US can get rid of the deficit. Just make everyone in the world US citizens and send the IRS to tax their income!

A map to search for local Wikipedia references!

Maybe we just switched to the timeline where CEOs are replaced by AI to optimize evil decisions & maximize profits for shareholders.

Hey it'd be super cool if you reposted this post to let all your cool friends know that @slashdot.org is on Bluesky now!

There are alt accounts for @georgetakei.bsky.social, @levarburton.bsky.social and @alyankovic.bsky.social popping up like it’s whack-a-mole. I know it’s impossible the real deal would follow me! @bsky.app, get a bigger ban-hammer!

70,000+ followers on Bluesky. Thank you for building this community.

it's a bad day for the international network of dictators who live in similar palaces

One of the very first professional illustrations I did, for Penguin. This was done in Painter, before I switched to Photoshop. Still prefer the feel of Painter, but it's not quite robust enough for my needs now. #gulliverstravels #gulliver #lilliput

Exactly. The goal is not purely geopolitical. You just have to connect the dots of how Russia is conducting war - it’s terror & genocide to empty half of Ukraine of Ukrainians & leave the other half decimated & helpless. Well said @anneapplebaum.bsky.social, thank you.

That‘s easy! If you have a domain, you can use it as a verified handle on #BlueSky. Just follow these steps: bsky.social/about/blog/4... I think I’m #verified now? 🤔
