the fatal flaw with the Bluesky is dying proposition is that it ignores the broader truth that I am also dying, as are you, and everybody you know. By dying Bluesky lets us know that it’s one of us, that it shares in our beauty and our pain. Grow or die? No, there is no “or.” Bluesky understands

my father-in-law is a “I know a guy” Guy. sadly all the old Guys are aging out of the Guy Economy. Guys are fundamentally incompatible with Hustle Culture because it’s not about “winning” a deal, it’s about collecting favors and goodwill in a mutually-beneficial cycle. protect your local Guy Economy

I’ve documented protests for decades. The asylum hotel protests I’ve photographed have all been very small. When I first turned up at the Newcastle protest, and asked the police where the protesters were, they pointed to one man and said he’s over there.

posting this while Americans are asleep: these termites use magnetism to build mounds as a wedge aligned north-south, ensuring there's always a sun-free side and passively cooling the nest. This means termites don't have to build tiny power stations and a tiny power grid to run AC

so, to understand this story there are a few things you need to know - my cat, Gus, believes he is a trained support animal - he is not (he has relatives who are, but he is not) - he believes he is a seizure-detecting dog - he is not a dog - I do not get seizures

Here's an idea for Starmer supporters on here. Stop having a go at anyone vaguely left. Go do what his policies are intended to do. Go persaude Reform voters to vote Labour. Go tell them you agree with them.

Tell them you too hate foreigners, that benefits are for scrougers, that poor people shouldnt have kids, that trans people are iky. Go persuade the only people that 'matter'. If that's where the votes are, go do that. Personally.
