Mia Murphy 🏳️⚧️@miamurphy.com · 4d agoWhat's the best three album run from a band? (the correct answer is Moving Pictures, Signals, and Grace Under Pressure by Rush, but I'm excited to learn second place)
Again: there really is a foreign country that can and does issue demands to the British government and get swift compliance - for crackdowns, for access to our military assets, for huge tribute payments - and it isn’t Israel. It’s America.
i think some people have negatively polarised themselves and posted themselves into having to defend clearly nonsensical things. it is obviously absurd for a party leader to share a post with their political opponent's name next to a guillotine. he isn't a 19 year old twitter user any more.
there is another world where you are a notorious judge on a hit show called "the worlds most delicious dip". you are the one who always says the dip or salsa needs to be spicier and they have shirts with you on it saying that
this how the photos be lookin in headlines when a heatwave kills 2700 people
David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 3w agoSad that these people died in their beach chairs.
I never thought I’d feel protective of the England team but this visceral anti-England BSky discourse is pissing me off. Somehow England’s ethnically diverse team represents the arrogance of the Brexit right but France’s ethnically diverse team represents progressive values? Come on
Lot of people on the socials letting us know that they actually do NOT agree with murder. Thanks for the statement, babez n hunz.
The Internet breaking down into a series of walled gardens designed to protect themselves from hostile attacks from other, similar walled gardens while AI tries to tear the whole thing down, you say?

Have you seen these ChatGPT ahh flyers? Well, we at 404 Media see them everywhere. “It might feel like you’re ‘saving time and money,’ but you’re actually slowly turning your brand into something generic like all the other brands out there using AI tools.”

The first Wintersun album might be one of the best metal records ever committed to tape
Football is great because it allows you to get the conspiracy theorist bit of your mind out in a healthy way.

When I worked at a national charity during the energy crisis, this was part of the advice we *had* to give people even in the most dire circumstances. People invariably scoffed at being offered such insulting advice. Aside from being ineffective, it is extremely counter-productive.

This is one of the sharpest, clear-eyed & compassionate pieces of political writing I’ve read in a long time. If the headline puts you off as facile please know that it’s a longread that develops a vivid argument through a lens of Black women’s organizing & I urge you to find 30 minutes to read it.

I love it when ppl say bluesky is this like awful place where you get screamed at all day. that doesn’t happen to me i just hang out you must be really annoying if that happens to you
Negative Patriotism strikes again. A belief that your culture is exceptionally bad and thus, by definition, exceptional... when actually that's just how it works and every other fucker does the exact same thing
mtsw@mtsw.bsky.social · last mo.Turkiye spelling issue just reminding me how weird it is that in the 21st century there's still a handful of countries we refer to in English with totally different names than the actual people of that country use.
Me: Okay, there's been a thunderstorm, the heatwave should be over now. (New health bar appears) (The sun is now named 'Sol, Starflame of Regret') (Objectively the greatest piece of classical music ever recorded starts playing).
The RSF were parked outside El Fasher for months getting ready to push into the city, and nobody was in any doubt at that time about what would happen when they finally attacked.
