TIL that Spanish people don't really do Eulogies Wtf?

It's happened again lmfaoo I know it's not just my house because the entire street has gone out

Lmao my town just experienced a blackout for a minute and now everything is back on How odd

I need to stop underestimating myself more smh I sent in an essay which I thought was absolutely awful, not a lot of sources, poor analysis etc etc Turns out, actually no. It's a great essay and I got 65% on it (a 2:1, the second highest grade in the UK uni system) :) ?

My bf bought two goddamn cocktail pitchers at Spoons FML, too much

I'm going to Nintendo post again, so deal with it, but Honestly, I think that Nintendo should allow people to share their Miis between each other (a la Miitopia) Would rock if we were able to do that, since I know a bunch of people are going to be way more creative with the creator than I can be

Such a shame she's passed, she's been in a load of great shows RIP

RIP Catherine O’Hara

Alison Luchs, who has worked at the National Gallery of Art for 47 years, agreed to learn Gen Z slang and make videos because she wanted to raise interest in the museum’s art. She never expected to slay. https://wapo.st/45BXc3S

We got gays AND clowns? We're so back, Nintendo take my money

Quick question If you have played Mario Kart World, have you ever tried to create an "Around the world" kind of race? (ie. do a race of every single track in order, with it being from one race to another)

Honestly surprised that this kind of stuff isn't tanking the US economy harder Absolutely crazy kind of statement

The other site is down, so I've come to trawl Bluesky for the moment

Honestly, despite everyone saying Bluesky is an extremely ideological place I have seen less ideological analysis of Trump's invasion than on Twitter

Britain and the EU need to bite the bullet and start talking about America no differently to Russia or China

Honestly the labour tax shenanigans are absolutely stupid as fuck They wasted all that energy, political capital, and made the whole economy panic in a "will they won't they?" way for absolutely nothing! idiocy from top to bottom, the whole lot have to go

Labour government with 400 seats can’t raise income tax to invest in public services. Someone hook up Attlee to a generator

Catholic Priests and Bishops are usually meant to stay out of the politics of their country The fact that they're intervening here, and speaking out against what's going on in the US, is truly something interesting.

Honestly what's going on in Sudan is awful The RSF and their backers should rot in hell

Apparently the RSF committed a horrific massacre of civilians in Sudan 2 days ago, and are now posting videos in which they pose with dozens of corpses.

Do you think I’d explain my masterstroke if there remained the slightest chance of you affecting its outcome? I made the NYPD woke 35 minutes ago.

You know you've gone too far when the NYPD ARE BACKING YOU UP Seriously, how in the hell has that happened?!

Well, I guess it's Autumn

Some dictator type shit Effectively broadcast propaganda in public (usually neutral) spaces. Doing this kind of shit is insane

A politician who embodies the current direction of the Tory party: a supporter of all the big policy shifts of 2016-24, who literally worked in Downing Street, who has decided oh, no, it is actually the fault of the immigrants. No, it’s your fault!

when a pm in britain is so hated that they can polarize the public against anything they can probably get anything they want by opposing it. it's like shooting the moon in hearts

I maybe have too free of a morning.

The riots in summer 2024 provided the Starmer government a very clear demonstration of the challenge it faced from hate and extremism - online and on the streets - which it proceeded to wholly ignore.

With everything that's happened RE: Charlie Kirk, one joke I haven't seen yet is "Vaxed?" Are we finally moving on from COVID culture?

"Ask your parents about them" is a good way to check if you're too terminally online Although an issue can arise if your parents are just as online as you 🫠

remembering great bits from the previous UK general election

>tarrifs in the high teens causing global trade collapse >central bank independence compromised >dust bowl disasters we're reaching levels of Hoover that shouldn't even be possible

The American people lack the self-respect necessary to maintain a democratic-republican form of government.

What the hell is going on in America? Genuinely seems insane, this is worse then with us and a monarch during their jubilee

🌳 | The 2 Conservative losses in Surrey tonight see them LOSE control of Surrey County Council. Elections were postponed in Surrey in 2025 due to local government reorganisation - electors will now vote in 2026 to the new shadow authority.

Lowest Labour voteshare in a poll in over 6 years btw (last time it was this low was July 2019)

Wild that as a developed country famed for being rainy as hell We consistently try not to build anything that would...idk, capture this water

This is what “Popularists” say you should do so I’m just going to assume Starmer and Labour are wildly popular among the British public.

Honestly, I still find it wild how incompetent this government is And that no one else seems like a good alternative

Arresting 400+ people for the "terrorist" offence of protesting against mass murder while large segments of the right are openly encouraging riots against immigrants is a tale of a very unhappy country and government.

A majority for the far-right on under 30% - but remember FPTP “protects against extremism”

Yay, majority of seats on less than 30% of the vote Totally a democratic state!!!

I've just rediscovered Katamari Damachi music and I love it Banger all around

im begging you to listen to how this fox news host pronounces “authoritarianism”

This is incredible pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemid%C...

We need our own version of this

Honestly, I do feel slightly tempted to set an account up again on the other website Like, Bluesky is great, but it also feels way too Yank-Centric, it'd be good to have some connections again with accounts I haven't talked to for a long while

Basically, in a healthy parliamentary system, parliament should be able to go "I understand what you're trying, but this isn't a good way of doing it" or even "this is a shit idea, this isn't happening". The avenues to do this clearly aren't effective enough atm, leading to laws like OSA.

The bullet train in 🇯🇵-as glorious as everyone says. A reminder the Japanese built their first high speed train for the 1964 Olympics and it became national by the 80s. They’re now building Maglevs (floating trains). Meanwhile in 🇬🇧 we can’t be sure we’ll connect HS2 to Euston. Pathetic.
