Okay, these are getting a little aggressive, Bluesky.

The only thing he isn’t stupid about is where money can be made. He’s a thief whose every move enriches his family or friends.

Robert Plant chose @spillersrecords.bsky.social in Cardiff, the oldest record shop in the world, to receive home his plaque, immortalising Robert Plant's connection to not only this record shop, but the country that has inspired his songwriting. Read the full story: 🔗 bit.ly/4swyLO0

📌Pope Leo XIV TODAY: “The world is being ravaged by a handful of tyrants. Blessed are the peacemakers, but woe to those who manipulate religion and the name of God for their own military, economic and political gain, dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth.” He is NOT backing down.

At Pentagon worship service today, Pete Hegseth again read a violent prayer to bless the Iran war. But this time his prayer was apparently borrowed from 'Pulp Fiction.' I promise I'm not writing for @theonion.com now: publicwitness.wordandway.org/p/hegseth-bo...

Sure thing

All Republican answers lately be like, "I don't have eyes. Where am I? Who are you?"

Good gossip at the feeder today — photo thread 🧵 #birds

A random fact that I find interesting: "Magyar" is the Hungarian term for an ethnic Hungarian, meaning a descendant of the people who originated in the east Urals and migrated to modern-day Hungary. It is also used to describe the Hungarian language. So, Hungary's new leader is Peter the Hungarian.

Good morning my cohost Rob @robcrank68.bsky.social has said “ today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Reflections, any bird reflection. The Alt Theme is #Robins, any Robin will do #ForJanet.” I’m going to go with a Little Egret. Love them. #birds #photography #ECK

"I think people are sick of being told they can't have healthy rivers and seas, just because powerful financiers want to keep making money from our water bills. "Our government is listening to them [water companies] but not to us.” #DirtyBusiness www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"This is me as a restaurant server. See I'm asking them if they want everything on one check."

There it is. I knew they were going to try dismiss this as a joke. Too late -- that's not Trump's story from earlier yay m today. And it's even worse bullshit than what Trump offered.

Please oh please let this finally be the moment when people who support Donald Trump "because he is Christian" realize that he isn't actually Christian, and never has been.

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

Love did win

burn it all down.

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

Can I be the first person to post this, please???? 🎶 You can be the President, I'd rather be the Pope 🎶 Prince, ahead of his time, as ever 💜

Remember when Senile Satan was a “nurse” last June?

#5debutalbums7579 #musicsky Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - "Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers" 1976 I don't think this will make my 5, but obviously a good album.

#5debutalbums7579 The Raincoats - The Raincoats (1979) Avant garde post punk sounds like a red flag, but The Raincoats debut is a high water mark in scratchy, angular songwriting. Their idiosyncratic version of Lola would have Ray Davies nodding approvingly - probably. #VinylCommunity

As good a record as ever came out of Brum #5debutalbums7579

#5debutalbums7579 #musicsky Patti Smith - "Horses" 1975 Great debut.

#5DebutAlbums7579 Misty In Roots - Live At The Counter Eurovision 79 If you're going to release a live album as your debut album, then you may as well make it one of the best live albums there is.

It's clear that #5debutalbums7579 is going to be like the Red Wedding in GoT. Siouxsie& The Banshees - The Scream (1978) After the delay to be signed, The Banshees debut was worth the wait. Whisper it, but the guitar/drums from the pariahs Morris/McKay are incredible. A daring post punk classic.

Next up for #5debutalbums7579 is another #postpunk contender. #johnsvinyl #nowplaying

#5debutalbums7579 The Rezillos - Can't Stand The Rezillos (1978)

#5debutalbums7579 Talking Heads - 77 (1977) Innovative, cool, and seminal, but enough about me! . Every time I play this, I'm swept back to the 5th form common room. At that time, every week brought new musical revelations. What a time to be discovering new bands. Talking Heads were at the vanguard.
