was actually looking into something else but man I had entirely forgotten that Liz Truss, of "Liz Truss" fame, was justice secretary in 2016/2017, isn't that quite freshly insane, in retrospect
I realise this is a big “if” but opinions on the monomaniacal Graham Linehan aside, IF he is telling the truth then the UK is cooked. Five armed cops to arrest someone for three tweets?
“Blueskyism” Rent free lmao
Expert here. What happens is the generative AI you fed this to is a piece of shit that tried to extrapolate a shadow into what statistically should be flesh, while you sat there loudly saying "ENHANCE. ENHANCE." like a dipshit.
Everything about the flag discourse is fucking stupid. Absolutely every single thing about it.
fuck we're down to one
trying to imagine firefighters getting dispatched to this house and the absolute nightmare that would be
rip to everyone whos become delusional after talking to chatgpt but im built different. like actually different. according to chatgpt im some kind of god. the one who decides

If you say 'heteronormative' or 'unhoused person' or 'food insecurity' you're basically talking gibberish and nobody can understand you but if you say you can see inflammation in children at the airport and that vaccines lower IQ or that germs are a myth you get to fire all the scientists.
out on the town having the time of my life with president trump. he's just out of frame, very much alive
It's not lost on me that every account I've seen trying to defend Taylor Lorenz against accusations of being an antivaxxer is doing the, "but how is expressing these vague reasonable concerns antivax?" game that every single antivaxxer online plays when people correctly say they're antivaxxers.
🚨BREAKING: Bread is now woke, according to Alex Phillips
wife: oh hey u guys are back early me: bread’s woke wife: what? me: *loading a butter knife and getting back in the car* bread’s woke
What I enjoy about this is you don’t get too many of these that feature two insane people
The reaction video genre is jumping the shark.
Gotta be, like, Fugees, OutKast, coolio, beastie boys right? Anything that went top ten in Europe
The Cased Meat Celestials have come to pass judgement, just as Jack Kirby foretold
If you had told me in 2012 that Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign manager would be posting like this 13 years later i would not have believed you
former kids who read too many books and didnt know how to pronounce the words you learned gang say hey
Taylor Lorenz is on like her third controversy in a week. Whatever you think of her this is incredible output.
Regardless of what side of the political spectrum you live on, I think we can all agree that Ronnie Radke sucks
Antony Fantano made his first comments about beating a lawsuit from Falling In Reverse’s Ronnie Radke (who initially sued the wrong Anthony Fantano)
Foursquare Veritas.
get a load of this guy, he's not done enough ketamine to see the world of forms
My (way less informed) opinion is that no industry which genuinely thought it was about to put 30% of white collar workers out of a job would constantly put out press releases claiming that
With respect, that’s not accurate. But to fully understand what a “yummy mummy” is requires an understanding of the British class system that simply cannot be conveyed in a single post
Lads, is it MAGA to marry the love of your life
American cultural politics have gotten so insane that now getting married to the person you love is "maga energy"
Campaigners are still demanding she is issued a full pardon
I can’t believe the fucking terminator guy is pushing Ai on us so hard
I think Robbie is/was a big deal on YouTube or something similar? Just a textbook example of the kind of artist that simply didn’t exist when we were younger.
Sweden is arguably ground zero for this though isn’t it
Cavetown was such an eye opener for me. A friend told me they were drumming for him on tour and put me on the list at a venue with several rooms. I went to check out this obscure band I’d never heard of, to find them playing the largest room, almost 2000 people, sold out. I’ve never felt older
Sorry but TEEN VOGUE, ROLLING STONE and the BEANO shouldn't be our most incisive political commentators

If you get married in England this is where you have to consummate it otherwise it doesn’t count and you’re killed for treason
Isaac Chotiner interviewed Biden's close friend and last ambassador to Israel, Jack Lew, and in the interview Jack Lew explicitly defends Israel killing children. Lew's defense of this is so offensive that Isaac Chotiner interrupts him twice and then says outright that he's wrong.
You’re telling me this guy is not a more desirable guy to promote than Gavin Newsom
like if you put a product on the market where there’s a non-zero chance that it’s going to “proactively instigate the death by suicide of a child” and lots of people tell you that’s obviously gonna happen and you do it anyway and then it happens,,, how is that not a crime ?
meanwhile, on LinkedIn, the AI Bros are trying to convince people that AI is going to replace doctors
it's so wild remembering rose was a bisexual corbynite at one point
Been messing around with inserting this prompt into LLM conversations and it massively improves the “tends to over validate the user” issue. I kind of feel like consumer models should all have this by default
On first glance this is an inspiring ad for drunk driving
Israelis are mocking American artists who are standing in solidarity with the Palestinian people by writing their names on bombs that will be dropped on people. These two artists whose names are written here are Billie Eilish and Mark Ruffalo. “You can go to Gaza.”
in a sane world, committing a war crime on live television would have consequences

Say what you will about scavenger hunts, but it sounds like Mamdani made it through without bribing or sexually assaulting anyone
It sometimes feel like the 'stay on twitter' takes come from formerly prominent voices on twitter who no longer get any engagement on twitter, but can't hack it on bluesky, so they feel they're owed the engagement on twitter from those who left
In terms of the number of day-to-day issues that it has resolved for me, and the relative lack of side effects, I have found methylphenidate instant release to be close to a wonder drug. but exceeding my dose by even 20% is the difference between a calm, productive morning and an existential crisis
I hail from the most ridiculous country on Earth
alright what's the dumbest thing we can get 500 people to go outside and protest about in the next few weeks, think there's a point we have to make here I'm thinking "bring forward the full release of Hades 2" but I'm open to ideas
The Shropshire Star imagining “love all stop hate” is vandalism but the red lines are “a flag debate” 😳🙃😆
Honestly can't work out what combination of stupid / psychopathic this guy must have been to bring this case.
Can folks do me a favor? I was on Bluesky early & it was great. Mostly. I hit the eject button in January. I came back, many colleagues are here, but still don’t know I am. I co-created Halt and Catch Fire. I write TV & comics. Here’s two favorite set photos. Repost? I am in the wilderness.
Including most of the English
Schools regulating and locking away smartphones is so clearly obviously the right thing that of course people like Taylor Lorenz oppose it lol.
Taylor Lorenz has never let facts get in the way of a hot take
Real two button, man sweating meme moment as the posters who have spent the last six months telling us London is a lawless wasteland realise this is the weekend for their “Notting Hill Carnival turns London into a lawless wasteland” tweets

Badenoch’s not wrong about any of this, but it just sums up why she is unfit to lead that a) she visibly *can* identify this stuff for what it is but b) lacks the minerals to actually fight it within the party she leads. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

So, so many columnists forget to truly factor themselves into their pronouncements. The idea that the Internet is a powerful tool of persuasion that specifically has no effect on only you, cause you are a very clever person.
still amazing to me that elon musk became the most unpopular public figure in america in about a years time, nearly destroyed tesla as a company, stopped posting about politics 150 times a day and now essentially just spends all his time promoting grok as a way for people to jack off
superb
A spectacular ratio This is why the centrists and rightwingers hate Bluesky: accountability
One of the best things about beauty and the beast is that at the end belle watches the beast transform into a blonde guy and then he looks at her and is like "it's me! Eric!" and the look on her face makes it very clear that she did not fall in love with ERIC. she is not interested in ERIC
Y’all know what to do

Are there any conditions a child could be suffering from that would make you think that starving them is bad?
It’s ok to starve children if they have cystic fibrosis
I know what they are from trips to America but no they are not really a thing in the uk or Europe
is there any actor who directly killed more people than Jimmy Stewart?
Yeah the thing you’re describing does not exist in the UK or anywhere in Europe that I’ve been. Loads of them in Las Vegas tho
What do you mean “WHAT”
everyone's reading this tweet completely wrong. the dude just wants to talk about all these ninja turtles
My grandmother was Jewish mate you’re gonna have to try harder than that

I suspect it’s the current American definition of antisemitism, which is “criticising Israel in any way”

can i explain the gap on my resume? uh okay…thought this was obvious but that was when i didn’t have a job. you okay man
Josie and the Pussycats predicted a lot of stuff but the most surprising thing is probably Spatial Audio
One thing I know for sure is that if *I* called the cops and said “some guy just threw a sandwich at me” they would consider me to be a huge baby and think I was wasting their time.
The replies full of Bluesky's most fascinating tribe: people who as far as I can tell, must respond to someone going 'what are you like?' by belligerently going 'I don't know! What am I like? How dare you ask?'
wow, all it took was one week of restricted access to porn.
I guess I’ll take “a peek into my future” over “a bleak into the present”
also that allowing the debate on regulation to be dominated by 'we must worship the coming machine god/cripple the coming machine god' guys is useless and counterproductive, and that the actual regulatory steps should be tackling stuff like 'how do we stop old people from being conned'
Yeah. It’s a cult. They’ve been raised in a cult.
hey now, this is bald racism
