[Skee-Lo voice] I wish I was a little bit meeker, I wish that I was beaker, I wish I was a high pitched, terrified shrieker

Listening to a report about Google chopping down a quarter of a million trees in Finland to build a data centre while washing out yoghurt pots for the recycling

The real unfair competition women are being forced into with men is having women's sports constantly separated off as a distinct event which is made to compete commercially with much better funded and socially and institutionally enfranchised men's sporting events & found inadequate by that standard

I don’t propose a wealth more a sense tax. If you have more money than sense, the government taxes you until you get equilibrium.

dying from too many one-liners is being sentenced to death

Aww

Had no idea this was even going on

Just general health practices like banning smoking in public places. I don’t think people appreciate the impact of Roy Castle’s death. A children’s TV presenter dying of lung cancer in his 60’s with never having smoked a cigarette. That was devastating as a child.

You have to laugh at the sheer insanity of Turning Point UK being found to be organising literal contract killings and paid agitation at protests up and down the country and it barely even raises a flicker across the press. If that isn't 'terrorism' on some level I don't really know what is

I think the lasting appeal of Final Fantasy is that it did pretentious right. At their core they’re YA novels told with the conviction that it’s art and that it’s story is important. And boy does it hit more than it misses.

You know when you order special fried rice and it goes. Contains: Pork Chicken Beef Meat

You can tell everyone’s used up their free AppleTV offers when this is the first I’ve heard about the new series of Slow Horses and it’s taking about the finale

Plaid are finding governing hard; and Labour is finding opposition hard too. My piece for @walesgovernance.bsky.social blogs.cardiff.ac.uk/thinking-wal...

At this point it looks like Xbox are 180’ing on everything Spencer did back to the things that caused Spencer to do what he did. A La Carte is literally the previous GamePass, GamePass for PC, Xbox Live Gold and GamePass Ultimate Model.

My pants keep cackling and the joke stinks

Doing our bit

Add ‘piss’ to a band name Piss Wings

Add ‘piss’ to a band name Piss Take That

tried taking one of those political questions tests but i disagreed with the framing of nearly all the questions. not sure what that makes me. annoying probably

Ali G and SBC is fascinating in a way. You were watching in realtime a joke lose it’s self awareness because it became popular and then its creator loses that same self awareness. Ali G was a self-aware minstrel, the joke was the interviewees were unaware. It was a prank like Mr Blobby.

If I’m not able to play videos on loudspeaker while on public transport, how else am I meant to mask the sound of my farting?

Bracing for the enormous recalculation of national wealth that’s going to come when the ONS decide to include the value of all the carrier bags under your stairs and the Gü ramekins at the back of the kitchen cupboard.

That Mike Tyson documentary on Netflix is one of the best documentaries Netflix has done. There’s some attempts at rehabilitation but for the most part Tyson is completely unapologetic and the other interviewees bring needed context and balance. It’s a fascinating watch.

Periodically I remember that an induction hob is basically just The Forbidden Fast MagSafe

This one’s a bit of a shocker.

If I climb up a cliff and jump off with a parachute am I also flying? It’s a weird thing the tech being used here you can get in toys. None of this is really an ngineering marvel, it’s a financial one. Musk can afford to show off impractical tech, whereas his competitors have to make practical tech

breaking my break from BlueSky just to say, the last episode of The Nest (iPlayer) is so fucking bad it ruins the entire show. First 4 episodes are a decent drama, last episode scraps that, turns every character into an avatar for a political message then destroys all prior characterisation and plot

Going to take a social media break while I focus on my scorched earth approach to raising a grievance in work.

Bit late to the party, but damn Colin From Accounts is so good. Easily one of the best shows I’ve seen. Nothing felt forced or contrived. Brutally honest but with empathy and hope. The last five minutes was just perfect.

I feel sorry for all of the people that put their faith in the Green Party. The motion targets anyone that is Jewish, and that's despicable. It also tars everything else and everyone else that's associated with the party. It was monumentally stupid and completely avoidable

The Stingray intro goes so hard. Full speed from the jump and doesn't let up. Even as an 80's kid this was intense.

anyways, i propose that we ban everyone from saying other users should enjoy concentration camps. i think this would be a positive move towards a safer website.

11yr old is doing a rugby training session because their opponents didn’t have enough players. Forfeiting is fine but bring the kids anyway and we’ll do a friendly with mixed teams It’s got to be dispiriting, the kids do the training, the adults have bought the gear and they get nothing for it.

Seeing it pop up in the timeline today so it’s time for some BlueSky pedantry. Asylum applications don’t prevent you from working in the UK. An asylum application extends your existing visa while your application is being assessed. If your visa allowed work, you can continue to work.
