I hear Bluesky is rolling out age verification in some regions. If I start cracking Mitch McConnell / Terri Schaivo jokes, does that prove that I'm definitely not 18?

Chicago dog, no question

How does this man keep finding new stepdaughters

everything i've seen about starmer on the outside looking in for years really shows him as emblematic of one of the curious types of the 21st century, somebody who wanted incredible power over others but not for any particular vision. wanted to be able to reshape society, and that shape is "eh idk"

My local shops basically don't have customer facing staff anymore, but they ALWAYS have a security guard. So if you want to buy beer, there's a guy standing there watching you wait for a different guy who can check your ID. I don't dislike the first guy, but why isn't he just the second guy?

My adult life has been defined by a series of trillion dollar bonfires lit by the people telling us we can't afford a better world, and its the same people every time.

Right wing media for the past 50 years: BE SCARED OF EVERYTHING ALL THE TIME. Actually wait jk we good

I know this is meant to be frustrating or cynical, but if Parliament actually acted like this in response to data about what % of the British public don't want them to be real fuckin weird about trans people I'd be so happy.

The Guardian: your one-stop shop for spelling mistakes, transphobia, and every showerthought Adrian Chiles has ever had in his life.

Who up trusting they safety?

Is #trumpsgascrisis what we're calling the time they had to cut a press conference short because he shat himself?

"I was only at the WHCD to ask for directions to get AWAY from the WHCD."

“How dare you not show compassion here” say the defenders of a profession that has almost completely ignored the largest number of journalists murdered in a single year for two years in a row because they happen to be considered non-human by (checks notes) the guest of honor at this event.

How do you make that Bluesky meme of a speech bubble surrounding a quote post and also does anyone have any good photos of Huey Long?

Not a bisexual girl, but I have to assume this was accidentally missed off the post.

we know

Not labelling this with the word "candy" has opened up crazy meme potential.

They’re telling me a great empire will be destroyed if I attack Persia. Even the oracles who don’t like me very much, very nasty, they all said to me, “Sir, it’s one of the great empires, and it’ll be destroyed. And all because you attacked Persia.” That’s what they’re telling me.

Slay the Spire 2 good enough I'm worried @aptshadow.bsky.social gonna retire

Pretty difficult to refute a single thing in this perfect assessment of where the f**k we are, from @iandunt.bsky.social:

FYI for fellow narrative designers/game writers: the studio in question is Sentona Games and it’s my understanding they are currently interviewing to replace me. Be very careful with them. They were very nice to me and easy to work with right up until I needed the money I was promised.

the mild manners are job security, baby www.noncanon.com/comics/2026-...

This is the closest I've ever come to agreeing that 'elf n safety have indeed gone mad.

To any Democrat who ever said about any issue, "Maybe if we agree with Republicans just this far, they'll stop there," remember that you were wrong, it was obvious at the time, and you really should never believe that again about any issue, ever.

I don't know what to do but just keep repeating it so I don't go insane: the rise & eventual total domination of RW media is the single most significant political development of my lifetime and the entirely of the US political & media elite resolutely refuse to discuss or even acknowledge it.

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

The disease we have in this country right now is that we believe our sense of purpose is to make money. No. You make money as a reward for doing something with purpose. Like running a hotel, or running a restaurant, or selling products. You forget what you're in the business to do and you'll fail.

CR Rough Riders!

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains.

There's a Hu La Tang restaurant that just opened in London and now my budget is like this: ih0.redbubble.net/image.292818...

I like whatever is wrong with my algorithm over there

Just listened to (what I think) is the local Tampa Fox affiliate crack jokes about how Ben Chukwuma is also a cybersecurity graduate and not just an OT. Is it actually just a hilarious joke when someone big and black also happens to have seen a fucking computer before? Disgraceful. #bucs

The #Saints look like a team. Something fucky is going on. We don't do that.

racists roll their eyes at this, they're not happy with any message short of 'send them all back' & they don't trust labour trying to pander to them. people who aren't racist recognise this as divisive patronising nonsense. labour's approval rating is 12% and i'm surprised it is that high

I know I've probably just lost the trick of internet searches since Google shat the bed, but trying to find people talking about the Saints (NFL) as opposed to saints (some anime I've never heard of) or saints (moral condemnation) on Bluesky is so difficult. #Saints

#ukpolitics It's so frustrating watching labour give up on winter fuel allowances, cuts to disability benefits, the two child benefit cap... because they could have done it in the first place. Now you've done the right thing but obviously and publicly RESENTED doing it. Who wants that?

Gonna go ahead and experience abject horror at the thought of a circumcised cloaca.

PASSED OUT

I lived in New Orleans during the 2010 season and am now trying to get back into NFL. I feel like the FO4 protagonist. Time has passed and everything's awful and I don't know what happened.
