Imagine getting mad about women in video games when you could just shut the fuck up 🥲

Way late on this, but wishing all my LGBTQIA+ and ally family all round the world a righteous and progressive pride month. Do not go quietly into that long goodnight.

Boycotting American products and services for those companies which fawn at the feet of a corrupt president is near impossible. Even more so if you wish to do so for other cruel authoritarian regimes, but I'll keep minimising what they get from me. Maybe money will talk where reason has failed.

I'm sure one of the civilisation games had you discover the cure for cancer by this point in history.

Someone please remind me why we let hyperactive ambush predators live in our homes? Brought to you by the committee for 'why 6am you tiny menace'.

People don't know the struggles of a pastry chef, until they've walked a mile in their choux's. 🐢💨

I mean science is cool and all, but what fever dream came up with this idea?! edition.cnn.com/2025/09/15/h...

You know that trope about 'give your cat a treat at a fixed time of day to remind you to do something'? My cat doesn't work that way and I don't think she knows why either.

If we must have a Labour prime minister still, let it be Burnham.

To love and be loved, if only for my familiar smell.

What a bleak day for British politics, and a harbinger of hate triumphing over kindness we might see over the coming years. Hopefully the ineptitude of the incoming reform councillors leaves a bad taste in the mouth of those who voted for them ahead of the next general election.

Why I try to promote the Adventures in Bodily Autonomy anthology on *Meta* my views go from thousands to *zero* So please, Bsky readers, share this to help raise money for @reproductivefreedomforall.org in this time of crisis � #reproductivejustice #womensrights #bskybookclub #booksky

One of my favorite animal videos, probably taken at Disney's Animal Kingdom: four asian small-clawed otters racing back and forth across the grass like a troop of predatory socks, hopping up to try and snatch a butterfly out of the air.

Inspired by another post: what's your favourite sandwich? I'm blatently looking for inspiration for the weekend.

Kezia Dougdale, in her capacity as the new head of Stonewall UK, praised J K Rowling publicly. Trans rights are bleeding out, if not already dead. Shame on you for your complicity, this is unforgivable.

Definitely a messed up simulation. Sanae Takaichi, Japan's first female prime minister, who models herself on Margaret Thatcher and "casts curses" on her husband by playing the drums, has said to the rock band Deep Purple "you are my god" while presenting the drummer with drumsticks.

You know what I'm glad doesn't fly? Sharks. But apparently the predatory stygian clouds would keep their population in check.

Just stop with the AI rubbish. Yes, everyone. All the companies, all the people. Stop. It's not clever and it's making you less clever.

Spains transport minister has more guts than UKs prime minister. mastodon.neometropolis.net/@QudsNen/116...

BREAKING: Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez just landed out against Trump: "Not just Spain, entire Europe is against this illegal war in Iran. We won't join it no matter what"

I kinda feel like my cat's got a quest for me

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

"And when in their wake nothing remains but a desert, they call that peace." Tacitus, about 2000 years ago. We've learned so little but better ways to kill our fellows and ravage the earth.

New from 404 Media: CBP tapped into the online advertising ecosystem to track peoples' movements, according to an internal DHS document. Shows for the first time DHS tracked phones via process for putting ads in ordinary apps—video games, fitness apps, many more www.404media.co/cbp-tapped-i...

Looks like the hackers are starting to get fed up of democracy being undermined, and are doing something about it. www.theregister.com/2026/02/28/d...

Came across the phrase "cognitive DDOS" to describe our present culture. Understood instantly what it meant.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again. #Pinks #ProudBlue

It's been a rough year living on planet earth, but there are some things worth celebrating. www.scientificamerican.com/article/seve...

I expected most companies to jump on the AI bandwagon, but 'AI first', Firefox? I've stuck with you through thick and thin since the Netscape Navigator days in 1994, but bye-bye. Don't let the lack of ad revenue and donations hit your arse on the way out.

My food tastes have become *less* weird as I've got older I would happily gobble up samphire with smoked eel all smeared in appelstroop (a thick kind of apple syrup) as a kid. This was after the 1/4 jar of hot English mustard and butter sandwich phase, but before the microwaved mayonnaise one.

You know what to do baby ❤️

Control of your own devices is temporary, but surveillance is forever.

EFF teamed up with AV Comparatives to see how well anti-virus apps detect stalkerware on Android phones. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

"Starting in December 2024, the researchers began contacting the affected telecoms. T-Mobile responded by encrypting its satellite transmissions within weeks, but responses from other cell carriers were mixed." Everything is cool and normal. www.wired.com/story/satell...

Truly, SS7 is the surveillance gift that keeps on giving: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

NSO Group confirms that it has a US buyer and whole thing is even sketchier than you would imagine: techcrunch.com/2025/10/10/s...

Still at 77% no... Progress is slow

*Big sip of tea* Ah-yup, that pretty much covers it. void.rehab/notes/a6tp1q...
