I feel like at least some of this self corrects when you stop giving yourself mental medals like "ally" and just act normal with other people who are in fact for the most part, also just normal people

A PSA to my fellow cis people who are (or want to believe they are) trans allies If you are getting pushback from trans people and your reaction is to be all “no! not me! I’m one of the good ones!” please remember that “being one of the good ones” is something you DO, not something you ARE

I should be clear that the architecture of Bluesky makes it the social media place I most like to be. I'm not on social media to be an influencer or instigator; I want to hang out with folks and have an enjoyable time. This place delivers on that. I hope it continues to do so for a long time.

The inextricable inherent value of human life is really stifling debate you absolutist leftie scum

Hot take, but this would be endearing from an academic. Like, aw yeah, of course you think that you little clueless nerd. 😌

I thought Nolan’s Odyssey was an epic bore. If you want Greek myths brought to life, try the thrill of opera!

The guy that they want you to be terrified of (Mamdani) is making sure kids in NYC are fed all summer and people have access to cheaper groceries, all while they take food away from kids getting SNAP. Just sayin, feeding kids should make you the good guy.

So we announced this at SDCC, but I didn't make a huge fuss, because I was at SDCC and I don't have Bluesky on my phone. But. Starting this November, I will be writing the My Little Pony comic, with art by @amymebberson.bsky.social, colors by Joana LaFuente and letters by @longtalljodie.com.

In 2008, I warned Julie Bindel that she was in danger of becoming a Tory and she scoffed. These days she writes for the Spectator and the Telegraph and calls for the banning of Pride.

A "Latverian witch costume" for an "unidentified character." Hmm. Who's a Latverian witch who could have inspired Victor von Doom to dress something like that? Hmm. HMMM.

lots of reporters suddenly worried about slipping into communism but strangely f*cking quiet about slipping into fascism

Oh, we're putting tariffs on countries that don't do enough to stop slave labor? Can we tariff ourselves? Because the US has the largest slave labor population in the world! Again, periodic reminder that our slave labor population is larger than the workforce of Norway. Not a typo.

🤡I love it when US folk unironically try to reply to a Black civil rights advocate🙋🏿‍♂️, about how it's bad to enslave people to make cars. Your car parts were made in a jail by a Black man that has not been convicted of any crime. The US prison labor population is larger than the workforce of Norway.

There is a lot to say about the Nolan Odyssey movie. But one point that I think has not been emphasized enough is: this is a film about living in LA, as Nolan, my erstwhile British compatriot and age mate, has done for years. I gather it’s a strange place.

How is it that the ending of Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder" no longer feels very dystopian?

Tell me again how progressive Democrats & the DSA are destroying the party. This poll is from fscking New Hampshire, not exactly a hotbed of socialism. I'm not saying AOC should run in 2028, just that it says something about what the electorate actually wants. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/07/22/n...

AOC is leading, by a point, in latest 2028 N.H. presidential primary poll - The Boston Globe

According to a poll by the University of New Hampshire, the New York progressive is favored by 22 percent of likely Democratic primary voters, trailed by Pete Buttigieg.

Well, it finally happened, took 6 years but someone irl asked me if I'd heard about the internet story about the guy who ordered a ton of rice

This beauty arrived at my home today, all the way from the studio of @roseschmits.bsky.social in the UK. It's really hard to describe how beautiful the colors are and how subtle changes in lighting bring them out. I might post a video orbiting the vessel later.

Going to make everyone mad by calling baseball "Australian-rules cricket."

Happy 45th birthday to Soft Cell's version of Tainted Love, released on this day in 1981

No need to vote anymore because "the AI" can just predict how Americans will vote based on a dataset that is largely made up of fiction and propaganda.

I don't actually have real hope that Andy Burnham will be any better than Starmer. Labour is pretty craven these days. Nonetheless, it's a good start. A failure to make Streeting cry would have been a bad start indeed.
