BIG FIGHT AT POLAND’S WROCLAW ZOO!!!

I just really love books, ya'll.

Oh, Scott Adams died? And people are demanding courtesy he never showed in life? DJ, PLAY MY SONG. youtu.be/OLkPwxcIji0?...

Trans people: "Fix your hearts or die!" Scott Adams: ok *dies*

I've realized I can't have pets anymore that need work, like walking them, cleaning litter boxes or cages often (I can do every month or two, not every day or week), But I would like something... What's a good pet that needs little care?

I recommended Automatic Noodle by @annaleen.bsky.social to a coworker. He read it within a few days of buying a copy, immediately lend it to another coworker, and now we're planning on going to a biang biang noodle place with the whole team soon 😎

Multiple help requests per day means that it's officially Hugo Awards season. Now the Hugo Spreadsheet of Doom ALSO comes with a guide in case you want to join us (you should join us). #HugoAwards

It's fascinating to see the changes in one company's logo over the years.

Last month, @robinince.bsky.social announced that the BBC pushed for his resignation after 16 years as host of the popular science show Infinite Monkey Cage, citing his support for trans people. This is esp fucked up bc his own co-host's wife is an anti-trans activist skepchick.org/2026/01/the-...

On the Matter of the Killing of Renee Nicole Good, please know that I’m doing all that I can as fast as I can. I’m not trying to dissuade anyone from sharing their views, post whatever you want. But rest assured that it’s not necessary for anyone to push me to pursue justice.

I wanted something nice and familiar on while I crochet, so I'm going to rewatch Game of Thrones. The last season is horrendous, but the first half is good.

i know we're all busy but i just overheard a plumber say "parlez-vous français ? non ? you motherfuckers don't even speak french, do you" to a pair of french bulldogs

Synopsis: You need to kick more people out. You will actually have a larger base of customers/attendees if you kick more people out. You will make more money. I am dead serious.

Useful reporting from Translucent. When we’ve suggested that trans women don’t pose a risk, people have argued that’s because of under reporting. These FOI requests suggest that might not be the case www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/01/almo...

I solved the 'it's still the Year of the Snake, but everyone thinks it's Year of the Horse' problem. It's now the month of the Snorse. #sygnin

Wish I could internalize this

I'm writing about the Palestine Action hunger strikers at the moment, any of whom could die at any moment, and the astonishing media and government silence surrounding them. The Establishment seems to have become even crueller than when Thatcher was PM.

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Not to change the subject or anything, but, WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES ?!

you can fax your rep & senators for free at faxzero.com :)

Look, I’m hosting the Hugos in LA next year, but we will film that shit. NOBODY should risk themselves. Our country is acting despicably in every regard.

How's the Nobel committee feeling this morning about the person they gave the Peace Prize?

In the wake of all the news coming out of the US and the amount of shouting at the TV I've done, I thought everyone else might benefit from one of my favourite photos from 2017 to break up the doom scrolling. I cannot fix the big things, so here's a small thing.

you know, I think 2026 is gonna be a great y- oh uhhh maybe 2027, actually

Dat Rosanne Herzberger haar column terugkrijgt bij NRC laat zien hoe rekbaar principes zijn. Het ondermijnen van transrechten en het normaliseren van extreemrechts vormt blijkbaar geen principiële grens. Wie de feiten te direct benoemt, zoals Hassnae Bouazza, moet weg wegens ‘gebrek aan nuance’.

Columnisten die politicus worden en daarna gewoon weer terugkeren naar de krant: ik vind het geen gezonde relatie met de lezer.

Our partners at OpenAI insist there is no cause for alarm - these bugs are part of the process.

Hey Microsoft! Why are you making it so fucking hard to delete the project wiki in azure devops?

Uitermate bizar.

Interesting start of my first workday of the year: I must've turned my alarm off in my sleep, since I suddenly woke up at 9:30, 2hours after my alarm should have gone off.

Gender Trouble by Judith Butler.

huh so Google is kicking off the new year by pissing off knitters that’s fun

I got "blissful" 🤔

I watched Bolt (by Disney) got the first time, and I'm surprised about how good and touching it is. Good way to start the year! (and now I can listen to the @disniversity.bsky.social episode! I was a bit behind....)

I choose to take this as a positive omen. (As named and drawn by Paul Kidby, illustrator of Discworld.)

@mariness.bsky.social Mari, Mari, Mari! I just put a load of bedding and such in the washing machine! Aren't you proud?!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HORSES! IT IS HORSE BIRTHDAY! HORSE!!!!!

CN: ableist language In 2026, let's not call harmful people "insane" and synonyms. Let's recognize that being harmful is often a rational choice made because it somehow benefits the person doing the harm. Sane doesn't mean safe.

NL alert dat het zo druk is bij alarmnummer 112 en of je alleen kan bellen als het echt spoed is, stond niet op mijn bingokaart voor 2026.

Gelukkig nieuwjaar Happy newyear Bonne année Frohes Neues Jahr godt nytt år 新年快乐 새해 복 많이 받으세요 з новим роком

Hallo pers. Ik wil heel graag mijn verhaal doen. Weet me te vinden.

Hey Peter Pannekoek, voor mensen in gemarginaliseerde groepen was alles in het leven altijd al politiek. #oudejaarsconference

I took some personal 2025 numbers and put them in a blogpost: ifthenels.wordpress.com/2025/12/31/m...

Morgen is het Oudjaarsdag! Traditioneel de dag dat vuurwerk wordt afgestoken. Volgend jaar een vuurwerkverbod. Al vanaf de zeventiende eeuw bestond roep tot een vuurwerkverbod. In diverse steden werd het daadwerkelijk verboden, zoals in 1840 (Zwolle) en 1747 (Den Haag)

Lekker met de nonbinairen sneeuwballen gooien 😎

Also omg she loves Sadie. Normally Sadie is a bit too much for tiny kittens, but we've been working on it. She is trying to nurse on Sadie though which is a mite confusing for the puppy.

I'm working from home today! So tell me all your coffee machine gossip here, pls!

Pinky Pride, 2024 🌈💾 #pacman #floppydiskart
