Congratulations to Pope Leo XIV, confirming at last that Deep Dish beats Italian every time. #NewPope #PizzaWarsColonNewPope

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... This is the same Sharon Osbourne (a UK citizen) who repped Mötorhead back in the day. The same Mötorhead who performed this: genius.com/Motorhead-ju...

Standard for Virgin Media, email me 5 days after I paid them saying I have a debt, probably because their internal systems are shit.

Voyager 1 has 60kb of memory, an 8-track tape and runs on Fortran. It has come up close and personal with every planet in our solar system and also Pluto (heh) So why the fuck do I need to download megabytes of JavaScript just to read a webpage.

“Men continue to let Women take on the work of raising a family so that they can have a big important job”

Why do all these people have depression we ask as we create systems designed to make their lives as insecure as possible.

Luke, Leia and Han would all be played by white actors... Duh!

Today in 1943 Yugoslav resistance fighter Lepa Radić was killed by the Nazis. Unbroken after days of torture she was given a final chance on the gallows to give up her comrades. She said "I'm no traitor. You'll know them when they come for you, to the last man." She was 17

21 January 1924. The death of Vladimir Lenin. The birth of Benny Hill.

What’s the difference between Mercedes-Benz, IBM and Tesla? … nothing, they all supported Nazis, but at least for two of them, it was 85 years ago.

Elon Musk is starting to risk getting Jess Phillips killed. She's been safeguarding minister for six months. She oversaw nothing relating to the rape gangs. As an opposition MP she was one of the most prominent campaigners for the victims. What he's doing is a travesty.

Hands up if you can count the passage of time by the date on which your dog snaps a knee ligament? Mine's snapped her left one, 3 years to the day after snapping her right one (She's got health insurance, this is very treatable, the surgery is called a TPLO)

In the spirit of John's message in 1971, let's hope 2025 is the end of this global shit show. #MakePeasNotWar www.youtube.com/watch?v=flA5...

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... I think the real question is whether the 3-nitrooxypropanol is produced with dioxin or meta-dioxin sphericalbullshit.wordpress.com/2017/05/13/t...

😂😂😂 Oh Tom, naive Tom. Fighting bureaucracy is the work.

Samesies. I also voted for action about Private Schools dodging VAT. #UKElections

I don't understand why All Hallow's Eve requires fireworks. Fireworks aren't supernatural (China invented them c. 200BC) and dead people don't give a shit about loud bangs in the sky. Save all that for next week, when for some bizarre reason we celebrate a failure to overthrow the monarchy.

I stole this from Twitter to post here bc 1) it was already stolen from Reddit 2) let’s face it this is a fucking PRIME BlueSky joke

My response to recruiters looking for people to work in AI startups: ---- No. You are killing the planet. I would need a salary 10x market (at least) to override my own sense of morality. Best of luck in your search! Sam

I lived for 4yrs with 18M/1M DSL and 30M/30M 4G costing about £60/m, it's a bit of a luxury to have a 1000/100 AND a 900/900 internet connection (costing about £67/m) But I f*cking earned this... (I work on/with the internet and I could work on what I had, but it sure is nicer to work on gigabit)

UK Covid Vax is open for booking: www.nhs.uk/nhs-services... Assuming none of my followers are under 16, and you don't qualify because of a job-based risk such as NHS worker, these are the clinical risk groups that qualify. I read the Green Book, so you don't have to.

A perfect album, released the year I turned 21 ;-) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_...

Well it's hard to deny Russian involvement in this one, Mikhail Kalashnikov didn't design weapons for Colt...

Kirk Hammett is the real hero of this. The lyrics are great, but it's the emotion put into the intro that makes it iconic. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lli9...

As a teenager in Neustrelitz (East Germany), I painted small stones purple and left them all over town. Did it for years. It drove the police and Stasi nuts. It meant nothing. It just felt good to do something they couldn't control or understand.

When I saw Oasis (Reading, 2000) it was £80 for the whole weekend and that included seeing Slipknot, Foo Fighters and Rage Against the Machine as well www.readingfestival.com/history/read...

I must be on a list, because I got a bunch of new follows and I am not *that* interesting. I do interact here, but I am primarily mastodon.me.uk/@SamJSharpe

I just ordered a second gigabit broadband connection. This is the only benefit of living in a city.
