The only way this is remotely possible is when I'm trying to quit and someone is being an insufferable cunt around me and the choice is have a cigarette or murder the prick. There. Smoking *actually* made someone live longer.

When British journalists introduce people to their trans friends are they like: "this is Neilly, who was assigned male at birth but despite this now identitifies as a female"? Just kidding, they don't have trans friends.

It’s challenging AI right? RIGHT?

At some point we are going to have to reckon with what percentage of the Thought Leadership we get from this class of people is just drug addiction. Either a lot of credulous reporters have never listened to someone tooted out of their mind go on a monologue or they're afraid to call it out.

Unusual drone sighting situation at Leipzig airport in Germany: a drone, possibly armed with some kind of explosive, has been found on the ground at Leipzig airport. Later, an aircraft reported a collision with an unknown object. More info certainly to follow. www.bild.de/regional/lei...

Counterpoint: things were better on all counts 1995-2015. Things are getting worse again - sliding back to levels of 40/50 years ago. Footnote: so many of the comments on this topic are not reflective of relative poverty and are reflective of white privilege.

Tyron@tyron.bsky.social · 18h ago

an unfathomable amount of stuff has got better over the last 40 years - hell, even over the *last 15* - and anyone convinced it hasn't does not remember or know what things were like 15 or 40 years ago.

Guys like this don’t realize that they are the freak

The fact they pretend Republicans still exist and are not MAGA is hilarious.

There's a ton of prominent Liberals from Noah Smith to James Carville all making similar statements like this about how they're going to leave the party or vote Republican over what are mild social democratic reforms. It's extremely telling about what wealthy liberals have always supported.

What I love about Bluesky is what I loved about old Twitter: if I want to find out about something (however recondite) there will be someone here (often with a PhD in it) and the time and patience to share their knowledge. /1

I take extraordinary delight in being corrected by Proper Experts. It's brilliant. They drop in like niche paratroopers. I once confused a plot point between Under the Net and Accidental Man and the Iris Murdoch fanclub magically appeared to correct me.

Michael Murphy had every chance to help reduce these security costs by doing anything – anything at all – to bring down the temperature in Clonmel in 2024, but like most of the councillors, he tried to stay out of it, giving Mattie McGrath free rein to incite shit

The complex in Clonmel was the focus of repeated vandalism attacks, with security guards injured in late-night assaults

Some people I know are friends with a Times journo who left one of our shared whatsapp groups when someone posted that Liddle died and a number of people gave a thumbs up.

I remember this, it’s John Kay, who drowned his wife then drove head-on into a bridge to plead ‘diminished capacity’. The Sun kept a position open for him while he was committed, then in their obit called him ‘the greatest journalist of his generation’ and ‘everybody's mate’

Tom Usher@tomusher.bsky.social · 2d ago

I remember one time when some journo cunt died (who had literally killed his fucking wife) and all the other journo cunts on twitter started eulogising him like he was a great and lovely man, even when it was pointed out he had killed his wife. Now to check the reaction to Rod Liddle dying

What’s the old military rule? If it’s done standing up it doesn’t count? The gays called this one IMMEDIATELY. We know DL guys and we know the signs

BREAKING: A brand new “Christian men’s gym” in Georgia that bans women so pious men can have “lust-free workouts” lasted just 6 days before three men were caught “violating Leviticus in the locker room.”

Strange to hear Hugh Linehan and Helen Lewis sneering and laughing about Bluesky as an echo chamber for the woke, when loads of IT writers & columnists use the platform. Any thoughts @conorpope.bsky.social @patrickfreyne.bsky.social @conorgallagher.bsky.social www.irishtimes.com/podcasts/ins...

Why do these men want to strip women of the right to vote?

I think we're generally much too chill about how mainstream and normal this weird, obsessive anti-Irish stuff is in the UK. #speirgorm

Although Marie may mean this with love, I don’t. I want geo-blocked, yank-free leftwing only social media. WHO IS GIVING ME THAT HUH? (Don’t say Mastication - I tried that and absolutely not. Is Red Note still a thing?)

love that my online routine is now "wake up, pleasantly post and talk to people for a few hours, panickedly restrict interactions to most posts are Americans begin waking up,"

omg I would LOVE

If they have Belfast Hilton money, its disgusting to have been trying to use resources of a local community festival to platform their bullshit. Nothing says working class grassroots feminism like 4 star hotels. Was the Grand fully booked then? lol

Unlike what Minister Jack Chambers claims Ireland has one of the lowest per capita ratio of civil servants among EU member states. And significantly fewer than other high tax member states like Sweden, Finland and Denmark

Its pure private equity coding: encourage an influx of X nazibots, create controversy, get a peak in engagement, feed some hype, share price spikes, investors cash out, platform goes to shit. Everyone's happy. And when i say Everyone I mean no one, apart from the investors

Bluesky: The site you use to be shouted at by #resistance Americans who either can‘t or won’t understand that people exist in countries & time zones that not their own, purely because there’s no better options out there

In the night between 3rd and 4th August 1974, crowded express train 1486 'Italicus' is travelling from Rome to Munich. At 0.45 it leaves Santa Maria Novella Station in Florence heading for its next scheduled stop in Bologna. It will never arrive [Thread] >> 1

This makes up for the Dear Brain emails I consistently get. Karma DOES work unseen.

say what you like about Rod Liddle

May his loved ones receive the level of empathy he gave out to the world. The paths to hell are certainly packed with the devil’s own this very week.

I just judge people harshly for listening to the news agents in the first place
