I assume people on bluesky have mostly heard this story or at least know star trek has always been about this but since I couldn't find it properly captioned and alt texted here's one of the succinct examples of it

Potentially Unpopular Opinion: Bryan Cranston’s acting in the MITM special is more deserving of an award than anything he did in Breaking Bad.

My “I’m not in the Epstein Files” T-shirt is inviting a lot of questions already answered by the shirt

I swear autocorrect has been trying to get me by changing my your/you'res to the wrong one.

Genuinely a little worried I might wake up to find that the USA has nuked Iran…

Deadline for those of you with any afternoon meetings tomorrow is 10am EST

Extremely pleased to inform you that the Witch Hat Atelier anime is absolutely delightful.

I actually think we all kinda missed the point of Albo’s address. Everyone’s been spending the past weeks in a panic about fuel, and speculating about what the government’s going to do. Now everyone’s like “oh I guess nothing big is happening” which is exactly the message they wanted to get across.

So I read the book last year, and I can’t believe I didn’t notice until watching the movie last night that the Hail Mary is full of Grace 🤦‍♂️

When I was growing up, I remember my parents scraping together $5 for fuel to make it to work. We couldn't go to friend's houses because we couldn't spare the fuel, and every trip needed to be accounted and planned for. If the petrol price went up, we stayed home. (No public transport) (cont)

Funny thing about American mass media is how woke content is broadly popular, routinely pays for itself, and sometimes goes blockbuster, whereas right-wing content is a narrow niche that rarely reaches breakeven, never goes blockbuster, and usually requires immense subsidies for it to exist at all.

What did you call my Skyland Flowers?

Watching Season 1 of The Pitt and Mel must be protected at all costs.

YOU - RIGHT HERE ON THE SEA ICE?!

Drove past 5 petrol station (four different companies) today in very different parts of town and they all had petrol prices for E10 at exactly the same (237.9/L). And we're expected to believe there is no collusion between them?

I love learning stuff. I'm such a nerd.

the contradictory talking points coming out of the trump admin rn are making the US look absurd. iran is totally defeated, but we need help opening the strait, which is totally open for tankers if they man up and just go for it, but we can't send our military ships to escort, it's too dangerous

I'm still in what I'm calling a "soft launch" phase but since my bsky network is entirely just other industry folks I'll let you all in on something I've been working on: covergeek.com very basic right now but I know which way(s) I want to grow it! pls tell me what you think of how it looks!!

“But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the Strait of Hormuz is open and people are having a wonderful time.”

Yesterday a student asked me if I had a band-aid because “You seem like the kind of person who carries band-aids.” I didn’t have any band-aids on me but I couldn’t be mad because I am very aware that’s exactly the kind of energy I exude.

When it was announced I honestly didn’t think Pokopia would be for me. But I’m afraid it’s just so damn charming I’ve been sucked in.

The Strait of Hormuz is open for transit

I'm such a nerd. I've stayed up later than I anticipated because I began writing an example paragraph for my students, and I got too into researching and writing it instead of just phoning it in...

Does anyone else become a libertarian for, like, five minutes after you receive your car registration bill?

Okay nobody better get any weird ideas about this Popcorn Bucket...

SHOULD THE U.S BLOT OUT THE SUN AND USHER IN AN AGE OF ETERNAL DARKNESS? - Gallup 2/20/26-3/5/26 NO - 41% YES - 38% UNSURE - 21%

The nickname “Bibi” might be a BIT too cute for a guy addicted to war crimes?

I really wish anything about Marathon's gameplay appealed to me, because I really enjoy the vibe of all the cinematic trailers.

Sometimes, when you teach study of religion, you need to call your ex-Jesuit father and your ex-nun mother and just make sure you've got your understanding of the bodily resurrection correct. Y'know? (I'm sure this is extremely relatable content.)

Why is it that whenever @michaelhobbes.bsky.social mentions Brisbane in #maintenancephase it's never about something good?

My current No. 1 media literacy tool is to always ask "Who specifically do they mean?" when you see a headline that says something like "Some/many/people are angry at [person/group/organisation] for [alleged transgression of some sort]." Most of the time it's, like, four guys on Twitter.

Worked two days in a row, which is not a thing I usually do but my work really needed me in for some stuff today. Anyway, I currently feel like every cell in my body is dying.

is life just a series of days where you're tired in the afternoon and wide awake at night, running behind on weekly deadlines, and seeing pants get slim and big and then slim again over the years until you die?

I can’t find the original source for this visual crime, but I let out a cry of pain when I saw it.

A report that Comm Bank is spending $200m on sponsoring the Olympics. My post on how isn't it weird how such things are never reported as something that will cause fees/prices to rise, but a wage increase?? Horrors!! thepoint.com.au/opinions/260...

The Left Won't Embrace Explicitly and Overtly Fascist Technology That Destroys the Water and the Air and Our Very Minds for the Profit of the Worst Most Fascist People Alive and Other Core Definitions of What It Means to be on the Left

Not that it was ever in doubt, but the gas companies' jimmies are very rustled, so here you go: thepoint.com.au/factchecks/2...

Just solved a tech issue that plagued me for hours last night.

Found some old hard drives and was extremely chuffed to locate some old photos I thought had been lost to the data worms long ago.

Went to put the recycling in the bin. Discovered a Tawny Frogmouth.

This is blackout poetry to me

Support every trans, non-binary or questioning person you know. Speak out for those you don’t. Vote for politicians who want to expand humanity, not shrink it. And for god’s sake, stop buying Harry Potter or the works of those who want to ruin the lives of our loved ones out of their own ignorance.
