hey @joshuajfriedman.com if there's one thing I might beg you to communicate internally - the (a?) core of bluesky users want opt-in instead of opt-out, because we don't trust social media corporations to ever do good thngs. It's a learned distrust, and it might not be fair, but it's there.

53,800 of these bad boys are landing in Clacton. Ain’t they beauts? #VoteBinface

Just scanned my desk and patted my pocket wondering where I put my phone. It’s in my fucking hand. I looked away from it to do that.

I can’t sleep in my KajagoogooT-shirt. Too shy.

Slept in my Smiths Tshirt last night. And I fell out of bed twice.

That time someone said, "Oh you're one of those science is right idiots" to me and I just knew in their head they were actually using "your" and not "you're".

I think the question has to be "what are you trying to conserve?" to which the answer remains the same: privilege, power, and inequality. Historically, that meant supporting institutions and heel-dragging when it came to equality and redistribution. What's changed is that institutions now...

You are also, fundamentally, just *not* the Conservative Party any more. You're just a new party wearing its clothes. Yes, the tory party evolves over time but...evolution not revolution, and all that.

I've fallen for a wonderful girl who wears large gloves and has the number 1 written on her back. I don’t want to jinx it but I think this one's a keeper.

Orchids revived, the corpse ambulant and a poetic ruined abbey. These are the news stories I want to read.

Harry Potter is for people who looked at David Cameron and thought “but what if *I* fucked the pig?”

Never became as popular as "ET Phone Home" did it

Never get tired of @thevivllainous.bsky.social burning Elon 😃

Elon's daughter Vivian just torched him. 👇

Shout out to the man on the train calling his bank about ID theft and who has read his name, postcode, and the long number on his card to the whole carriage.

Musk's daughter Viv has something to say to her father.

This is excellent. Well worth 20 minutes of your time. youtu.be/9BArC9Q39MI?...

"why does the UK change leaders so often?" there are diminishing returns wrt how long each vessel can house thatcher's spirit. by the end of the century we'll be getting through 1000 prime ministers a day

Bricking AI glasses with a body-worn malicious QR code is the most @greatdismal.bsky.social thing I’ve heard for a while.

Name a videogame you've played for 1100 hours.

I realise I make a lot of anti-Labour posts these days. Please believe me when I say it comes from a place of love. …and disappointment …and dizzying cosmic despair

So much guff spouted about Starmer’s legacy. His legacy is that Clive Myrie gave an interview going ‘I am relieved I didn’t have kids’ and that millions of people in this country now feel unsafe.

And then have the gall to say stuff like “wHy doN’t yOu taLk aBouT frEe brEaKfaSt cLubs?” when you point out that Sir Sensible McSensible has presided over the worst breakdown of race relations since the ‘70s

I’m due another Spaced run, actually.

Andy Meh-nham. I mean… I want to see what he does with devolution, but I’m guessing fuck all. For the full bingo card, transphobic cuntishness in 3, 2, 1… Expectations duly managed, Andy.

Hard to think of a more deeply damaging start to Burnham’s premiership than giving green light to new oil & gas in N. Sea, if true. It won’t lower bills or lead to greater energy security but will drive an even hotter planet. What a terrible signal to give to rest of the world #ClimateVandalism

For when you were desperate to play anything like DOOM on Commodore Amiga in 1995, there was GLOOM. (Plus a handful of others, including the best DOOM-clone on 'miggy then: Alien Breed 3D)
