....aw Tale as old as time - got to move fast enough so the insane weight of the planks for the next staircase up doesn't kill me, can't move too fast or the character launches themselves off the little ledge at the top of the stairs and the weight means the single-storey drop kills me anyway 😭

...ummm...

Was not expecting versions of "The Turtle Moves" á la Didactylos to be all over my feed today

Why are the socks SO upsetting

You know. In the far off days of 1997, the American government just straight-up executing people in the streets was considered so alien an idea it was satire

Absolutely incredible this reel of comedian Chuck Nice railing against modern tech enabling people celebrating being stupid ended up with a chatGPT ad running at the bottom of it. Absolute cinema

It's loquat season, and after the best crop I've had in years there was nothing for it but jam! (Except for that last one, somehow I was worried it might make the batch taste a bit...salty 😅)

What a delightful way to discover the game you're playing is unquestionably Australian

Goddamn AI bullshit

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only

Team Cherry really had the temerity to deny Hornet used gamerspeak like "Git gud" for 6 years and then released #Silksong where every time she heals she holds up her needle and calls it her Fren

My God, the trip back to the enraged Conchfly in #Silksong (just to die immediately, of course) is so tedious

Oh my God, this red fruit parkour in Hunter's March is *KILLING* me. All my Hollow Knight muscle memory keeps telling me to hit straight down instead of on the angle #silksong

Hornet immediately claims #Silksong's first kill

Silksong, let's GOOOOOOO...oh

Who else out there is playing through the Pantheon of Hallownest for the next two and a half hours?

Incredible feed serendipity

Two very different countries only two letters apart, doing two VERY different things with mushrooms 😅

This perfectly encapsulates a visceral frustration I feel any time I see a news article

For me it was Oni - played it on the PC, loved it, basically nobody I ever mention it to has heard of it... It was weird and silly and the levels felt mostly empty space, but you could shoot people while doing ninja flips and so teenage me was enthralled

Shit, that reminds me, I need to catch up on Gunnerkrigg Court and El Goonish Shive

Ah, Oblivion. I'm so glad that even with a new coat of paint, you haven't changed a bit.

I have a sudden idea for a new and improved ice bucket challenge

I am *gasping* for air

Seen a lot of people praising Cory Booker's marathon filibuster, but can someone explain the purpose of it for those of us outside the US? Was it to block something, or was he making a general statement?

I thought this said "Fix Your Ordie" and assumed it was some kind of Geordie hospitality worker slang when someone ordered something they considered wrong.

Red Gold spotted in Ballarat on the way back to the car

I can't believe they got @codyjohnston.bsky.social to present this

Post a fictional character who you think would be an antivaxxer. Hard mode: No villains

Perfect juxtaposition of posts in my feed, no notes

Like most people with no grasp whatsoever of real economics, Mustrum Ridcully equated 'proper financial control' with the counting of paperclips. - Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

Oh my God

Jobst does great work, while managing to keep what *could* be a rather dry examination of minutia consistently entertaining; this is another great watch

This humour is way over my head

Prince Orlofsky with a bit of light side stage reading waiting to charge on for the Act 3 Finale of Die Fledermaus! I have been utterly captivated by @kateforsyth.bsky.social's phenomenal retelling of the myth of Psyche and Eros - review coming soon 🤩

This game CANNOT be serious

All set up for a wild Friday night in the Geelong CBD, lol

Ah, 3pm in December - the moment when all incoming emails slide into "tomorrow's problem" 😊

At least the Germans jailed their fascist between the failed coup attempt and the successful grasp for power.

To my dear American friends and colleagues this evening: *Deep breath* AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Love from, An Australian.

Never before have I seen this series of words arranged in this order

I have a joke about archaeology! I really dig it
