Let's normalise backing up our stated facts on social media (about anything important and contentious) with source links. If we're the ones with verifiable truth on our side, then let's draw that distinction at every available opportunity. Make taking an Internet stranger's word for it weird again.

The good news is that we are winning in court. The bad news is that we have to win every case. Trump only needs to subvert one election to break democracy.

Another person has died in ICE custody — this is the 28th known death this year. The cruelty of this rogue agency is beyond unconscionable. Abolish ICE.

How racist and desperate do you have to be to look at this and say, “Got ‘em!”?

Anthony Michael Kreis@anthonymkreis.bsky.social

The White House put an AI video of Hillary, Chuck, Hakeem, Kamala, and Ilan jamming out to The Gap Band’s “Outstanding” like a Tiny Desk concert and described Democrats as “washed up,” but damn they never looked cooler. Total self-own.

Oh boy, are the Right excited by this graph recently published by The Economist! And of course none of them has bothered to read the article itself (TBF, it is behind a paywall!). So as always, let's add a little context and explain why these kinds of comparisons are so problematic 🧵1/25

This went on for the rest of the full hour, at which point the BBC apologised for having to go to the weather and urged viewers to follow continuing live coverage on iPlayer. Forty-one minutes of unfiltered, unchallenged propaganda by a far right party with 8 MPs, now third in the polls. Discuss.

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

Imagine a world where we are no longer dependent on oil and nuclear energy. It's coming and it's better and that's why the vested interests are doing everything in their power to stop it

Jan Rosenow@janrosenow.bsky.social

Solar has overtaken nuclear. A decade ago it supplied 1% of the world's power. In 2025 it met three quarters of global demand growth. Almost nobody saw it coming. I spoke to Jocelyn Timperley at BBC Future about why. www.bbc.co.uk/future/artic...

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

At the start of this year I played Katamari Damacy for the first time and loved it. Curious, I check out the sequel's price history. "Oh, that looks good, it goes on sale pretty frequently! I'll wait until it goes on sale again to pick it up!" - I think, in February...

I finally did it- I 100% completed katamari damacy reroll! 🥳 I genuinely love the katamari games that I've played so far! The music, the graphic design, everything about them is so silly and full of whimsy ☺️ I can't wait to play more!! 💕

Katamari Damacy REROLL (Blind) The one thing I thought throughout my entire playthrough was "Man, Japan is so freaking weird". Such a bizarrely unhinged, yet oddly satisfying game. There's something enchanting about it that can't be explained without actually playing it. Had a lot of fun with this.

James reposted

Finished game: Title: "Katamari Damacy REROLL" Time: 5.6 hours for the main quests mostly. There are some additional levels out there) My score: 10/10 Mini verdict: Very nice game with so much nonsense and the most ridiculous plot ever which totally work. The OST is such a treat as well.

Video Game Review: Katamari Damacy Reroll This is a great game for my short playtimes that I have when I'm not working or hanging out with the wife and kids. Doing one level at a time was perfect for me. I never quite got the hang of the controls but I did well enough to have fun! Rating: 4/5
