So much of it is just people undressing normal photos of real women without their consent, including young girls. Can we please just stop posting on that extremely creepy platform.

I'm calling on Media Minister Patrick O’Donovan to scrap plans that would force people to use a state-run Digital ID card to access social media. Will you sign too? my.uplift.ie/petitions/no... @uplift.ie

Had to refuse to sell a phone to The Edge because he didn't have the proper I.D.

You think letting him occupy your every thought, take every second of joy from you, you think that’s you fighting back? How would total victory on his part look any different?

Mentally assembling the Christmas leftover sandwich I'm having this evening

Straight white men are the only type of people who can write a protagonist like themselves without it automatically being viewed as "political", on top of everything else.

Say Never Again If You Like, Not Bothered

"Well, Tiny Tim wasn't exactly 'The Boogeyman.' He was the one you sent to KILL the fucking Boogeyman."

"Weird" Al Yankovic (IIRC) talking about a random dude approaching him to say, "I didn't know you were still alive." His response: "I never knew you were alive."

Oh, is a Christmasball happening?

And I looked, and behold, a pale horse! And its rider’s name was Death, and Tiny Tim followed him. And they were given authority over a fourth of the earth, to kill with sword and with famine and with pestilence and by wild beasts of the earth.

That is not dead which can eternal lie, And with strange aeons even Tiny Tim may die.

“You could just tell something was off about them” sounds a little too close to “the victims were idiots for not seeing what I saw” so try and stop saying that whenever someone you found annoying on TV turns out to be a sex pervert.

I’m reminded of watching two old ladies ask a teenage goth for directions and she politely told them and when she was out of earshot one lady said “You know where you are with a goth”

Holy shit lmao

Those new to Bsky need to be made aware of one of the greatest skeets ever, deleted long before its time.

This was my biggest tweet over in the bad place. It will live here now. 🧙‍♀️🎄

when you're conceived, your "self" begins borrowing matter from the universe like checking out books from a library. in a tub your feet exchange particles with the water. where do you end and begin? that's why it's ontologically impossible to get mad at me for stealing pens from the bank. they're me

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

I wish the Grinch were real just so he could be murdered on television

The Suspicious Death of a Grinch

I wrote a McSweeney's piece that's up today! www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/its...

“AI is ok as long as it’s not taking anyone’s job” and whose work is it trained on. Did you forget that it’s a bunch of stolen fucking shit? Are we moving the goalposts already? “it’s sticking around so you have to get used to it, be realistic” no I don’t. Eat my shit and hair

I hate making non-cat posts. I hate "discourse". But the number of comments I've seen degrading and dehumanizing sex workers because of that Melania trailer is appalling. That ghoulish woman will never see your "whore" jokes but they absolutely contribute to the stigma that gets sex workers killed.

It's astonishing how a technology called artificial intelligence has revealed the actual stupidity of so many people. This tweet hasn't been bettered

"And Tiny Tim, who did not die" = heartwarming, Christmassy. "And Tiny Tim, who would not die" = sinister, alarming.

He's making a list He's checking it twice He's gonna find out Who's naughty or nice Now they're going to bed And my stomach is sick And it's all in my head But she's touching his chest now

My mate Rich and I used to work in a bookshop in Croydon. He was stood behind the till when a customer asked him, "Do you keep stationery?" and he replied, "No, we move around."

Many years ago, when I was working at @chaptersbookstore.bsky.social an older gentleman came in and asked "where's the milk?" Me: we don't have any. Him: what kind of bookshop doesn't sell milk? Me: ...the normal kind. All the kinds. Him: Ah for fucksake. *leaves*

*yelling from inside the getting kicked in the nuts factory* it's actually insane that you guys won't come in here
