one day I hope I can love someone as much as Japan loves gadgetbahns

outdoor bouldering in the Netherlands be like:

I'm convinced that he has lost the ability to do his job because he is afraid of right wing violence against his family, and when things get to that point you really have a duty to resign

I still support the principle of UBI but have come to realise that any form of UBI that would be proposed by anyone in power right now would be given *instead of* existing benefits rather than in addition to

sorry but it’s really embarrassing to still be an Avatar franchise hater in 2026

has “value engineering” ever resulted in a better outcome even once?

One problem with advocating for censoring unwanted political content on TikTok is that you might get your way

on a Melbourne tram the other day and a lady in a wheelchair got stuck trying to get on despite the “accessible” platform and low floor vehicle because the platform wasn’t actually level could there perhaps be some level crossing removal level enthusiasm for fixing these issues?

the thing is that it looks so fucking cool

I don’t post here often but this was too personal to share on twitter On the Thursday before last I lost one of my lovely ladies, Flash (the one on the left) passed away early that morning from injuries sustained in an accident. I have to find a new friend for Speckle but it’s so hard to move on.

was watching Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memories and was presented with the most accurate map of Sydney in human history

I don’t quite know how to put it succinctly, but Frank Miller’s Holy Terror is kind of the rosetta stone to understanding the way the American conservative brain works in the current moment (right down the Israel stuff as well)

Life on Mars is English Isekai change my mind

had a surreal experience where a guy I was working with started talking about how bad Madame Web was but then proceeded to blame it on how “woke” the movie was, I asked him what “woke” meant and within five minutes he was telling me how the Rothschilds were related to Karl Marx

figured bluesky would appreciate hearing about how literal nazis who are talking about how they need to own the fact that they’re nazis are advertising on X: the everything website

Can’t wait to be told that this also wasn’t a sieg heil.

I hope future historians have a good little chuckle about how our civilisation sold off nationalised industry to the private sector and destroyed communism the moment before climate change became consensus reality and there was a political mandate to do something about it

Liberals, of course, seizing the opportunity of trump's announced completion of the Biden/Harris genocide, by responding with undiluted smugness and disregard for all the human suffering they've celebrated until now. I have nothing but complete and utter contempt for these odious scumbags.

So yeah, what Trump said about Gaza is not good but don’t forget that a modern advanced military force just spent more than a year trying to take over Gaza and failed miserably so idk if what he’s proposed is even possible with the strength of Hamas’s resistance

how hard would it be for bluesky to have a “bookmark” option?

my local Coles has a bunch of cheap Chinese made bullshit you can buy to show how Aussie you are which includes the most cringeworthy cooler bag I’ve seen in my life Imagine being an actual Aussie and buying what is essentially terrible tourist kitsch of your own country

refusing to wear a suit is literally the only good thing he’s done the entire time he’s been in the senate

Missed this one

I think people are right when they criticise Bluesky for being a bit too sanitised (atm anyway), the recently added ability to selectively remove your posts from quotes is kind of emblematic of the problem twitter at its best was the town square, Bluesky is a store made for customer satisfaction

the first thing tadao kashio, founder of CASIO, ever invented, was this ring you could wear to more efficiently blast cigs while working and still use 2 hands

Someday a Lifetime movie will be made about Cheryl Hines and it’ll go “I knew him as a Kennedy, an environmentalist, a man who decapitated a whale, a man riddled with worms who cheated on every woman he’s ever been with while saying he’s the worm man, but beyond all that? …there was a dark secret”

Wow, AI getting something right for once

2012: “join Twitter? just so I can learn what some moron had for lunch?” 2024: “I’ve joined Bluesky to follow the ‘Good Lunch’ Feed. People post their lunch and others reply good lunch when it’s a good lunch”

there are 525,000 likes on this post where OP deludes themselves into thinking the analysts were predicting a Harris win (the analysts said it was 50/50) and then they go on to imply that they believe the election was stolen from Harris If Dems think like this they will lose again and again

welcome to the Age of Diarrhea

one of the more fascinating things about the democratic establishment's absolute dismissal of, and in many cases actual militarized crackdowns on, the youth antiwar movement: what other genuinely active vectors of resistance are out there and organized right now?

the penguin will now be sent to Nauru to be kept in detention indefinitely for having arrived illegally

posting here for the first time in a while because Elon’s twitter has given me a 12 hour suspension for saying it would be funny if Trump died between now and being sworn in, nothing about him being killed so if you want to make similar jokes on twitter you have to unironically say “unalive” lol

twitter will no longer let me say “cis alpine Gauls” without limiting the visibility of the post Elon doesn’t give two fucks about Roman history I guess!

The New York Times piece about the challenges of teaching constitutional law in this era features a gauntlet of academics who simply do not grasp what’s happening

James Somerton really does deserve to be the main character of left-twitter/bluesky for a bit, that man was a kleptomaniac when it came to writing videos to the point that I’m not sure he has any thoughts in his ahead apart from misogyny

currently on hold waiting to speak with the tax office

haven’t been posting here a lot lately because I’ve been busy yelling at zionists on twitter

So by Elon’s own immigration criteria he wouldn’t be allowed in the United States

Elizabeth Bruenig just got bullied off of bluesky lol

"ai is making it so everyone can make art" everyone can make art dumbass it came free with your fucking humanity

twitter ads have reached the “immortals are real” stage

lol they tried to make a Sex and the City prequel series in 2013 on the CW

Just give the workers what they want you fucking jackasses.

with this lighting it’s like she’s sitting on the surface of the moon

sadly this is true

love when a burger turns up and I have to think about how to attack it

Every worthwhile American cuisine has one of four origins: 1. Invented by ethnic minority that wasn't allowed to eat regular food 2. Invented by cult to stop masturbation 3. Asshole customer, chef revenge 4. World's Fair

this is a disgusting logo I thought there was something on my screen, why would they add a white stain that looks like it comes from a low resolution image somebody zoomed in on

these people should be raped and then have a baby which has the same face as their rapist thrown in their arms to raise without any financial support for 18 years
