this is why I’m sticking with vista

He was blue for an amazing reason

BIG BOAT STUCK

Horrific stuff but that Greta is laughing about it and making fun of them for it is honestly great. She’s a real one for sure. Could have done the liberal thing and coast on acclaim to a fancy NGO to put bandaids on tumors and instead got tortured and it didn’t break her spirit at all.

I'm not above replying "stop indulging in student politics, you are just helping Farage!" to centrists the moment the Greens are ahead of Labour in the polls. It will be funny EVERY time.

I have launched a little print shop with a selection of photos, a mix of film and digital, which I aim to rotate regularly. I’m bad at self-promotion but please take a look: ko-fi.com/certhia_phot...

”I’m a little birthday boy“ is how you would joke a colonial travel narrative begins. Never dreamt I’d find one which literally does start with that

I forget we have some very very very specific advice from the HK 2019 protest pamphlets when it comes to tear gas. Under normal circumstances, no one should really need to ask what happens to the food if tear gas gets into your fridge, but then again, what normal circumstances

definitely on the obaa moodboard

Probably Mass Effect Andromeda, but I also got the platinum trophy in Heavy Rain, mostly just because I wanted to have at least one. Which mean something like five or six playthroughs, following really really scrupulous guides

WHEN THERE’S TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Oh wow. Yes, very clever! Waterfall treasure! No one’s ever done that before. Lazy jackass WHEN THERE’S NO TREASURE BEHIND THE WATERFALL: Wow. Too stuck-up to put treasure there huh? Too much of a fucking ICONOCLAST for that? Piece of shit. FUCK you

Probably best to chase it indefinitely

"Nature's Labubu"

just saw the term Mamdanislop for the first time to refer to using his video style for conservative/liberal candidates

Time to tune in to some analysis from Antifa expert…Chef Andrew…Gruel?…founder of…American Gravy Concepts?

I love how the message of The Good Place was "It is impossible to be a good person under Capitalism and also impossible to ameliorate its influence while you are living. Your sins can only be purged in the afterlife!"

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

Uh, the thing that killed the Aztecs was the fact that they DID subjugate their neighbors, a fact the Spanish were happy to exploit when looking for allies

breezy, speculative, counterfactual history, with minimal recourse to the work of historians, is the pumpkin spice of airport books

If Labour really want to stop Reform, they should just use their massive majority to muscle through PR while they can. Tory+Reform polling substantially outweighted by Lib/Lab/Green polling. It's that or political irrelevancy, lads (they're gonna pick irrelevancy).

The cloud made a spooky face

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

The Catcher in the Rye is about a teenager struggling with the grief of losing his younger brother to cancer and it's strongly hinted that the narrator has been a victim of childhood molestation or worse and everyone who takes that story and turns it into "rich kid won't stop whining" is illiterate.

they’re calling Kingdom of Heaven (director’s cut) the single most Hollywood lib-brained 9/11 movie that isn’t Revenge of the Sith (mostly complimentary)

Replies absolutely crammed with libs going “teeheehee! he absolutely does deserve to be tortured! now let’s get brunch!” right next to the ones saying “conservatives only feel empathy once they’ve personally experienced something horrifying” idk, accounts of torture don’t make me want to gloat?

Solitary confinement is torture and an abomination, no matter who the victim is.

The right-wing campaign group that helped topple Roe v Wade in the US is now working to roll back abortion laws in the UK, with the help of Nigel Farage. Its first step? Trying to create a debate around "free speech" www.nytimes.com/2025/10/13/w...

I'm excited to share that my new book ARCHIVAL IRRUPTIONS: Constructing Religion and Criminalizing Obeah in Eighteenth-Century Jamaica is coming out with @dukepress.bsky.social in October!

One the one hand - thanks? On the other hand, seeing Brits do mental arithmetic on 'desirables vs undesirables' doesn't feel right. It seems like we're in the 'desirables' bucket simply because they think HKers are productive and not because they are actually deserving of some dignity as *people*

University leaders: [terminate programs, close campuses, cave in to political pressure from demagogues] Faculty, students, staff: you’re killing the university Management consultants: looks like you got a real comms challenge here

justin: good morning katy my girlfriend katy: hello trudeau

Theory is sound.

me: doctors are hitler fifty replies from trans women whose bios say some variation of "brainless airhead puppygirl bimbo": do you just mean MDs or does this include people with PHDs too 🥺😢💔

It's happening. The Vitamin.

woke up from a nap in a frenzy

“We assume that car use is an incompressible liquid that must be routed somewhere. But it’s more more like a gas that fills whatever space it is given.” —Ian Lockwood, Harvard Loeb Fellow, transport planner.

My reaction to literally everything happening (public health edition)

It’ll be so funny if this completely poisons Trump on the notion of Venezuela regime change

nobel peace prize goes to Trump’s little extrajudical murder supporting friend What a pack of fucking loser weirdos that panel is

winning the nobel prize for my miraculous new method that allows boys to get more stupider without going all the way to jupiter

26 year olds: “34 year olds like this thing 😠”

she wouldn’t be the first nobel peace prize recipient to openly support murder

> hear about a new girl boss fighting for peace and freedom > ask if the girl boss is greta or thatcher > they don't understand > pull out a complicated chart showing what is greta and what is thatcher > they laugh, she's a good girl boss miss > check wikipedia > she's thatcher

Just a few small beers.

As I always say
