“Couldn't get a taxi home last night so I went to a takeaway and ordered a pizza to my address and got in with the delivery driver 10:54 am £13.50 for scran and a taxi home 10:55 am I'm a genius 10:55 am”

Genius.

2 parkrun signs next to each other, “Start” and “Stop”, next to a beach

Easy.

Tweet from @trotsrabbledogs: “My worst nightmare is Spotify randomly throwing out an Ed Sheeran song whilst I'm driving and then I crash and die but it keeps playing so the first responders think I was an Ed Sheeran fan and they tell my mum and I end up being cremated to fucking Shape of You.”

A multi-story building facade with a "Cannadine's Carpets" storefront, above which hangs a colourful twister-game mat. To the left, the building is painted black, with an advertisement for "The Kraken Black Spiced Rum." A pride flag is visible on the left.

“Where’s the Pride flag?”

“Fuck knows. Just put out the Twister mat.”

Sign “Warning: it is an offence to take alcohol beyond this point. Please comply with this law. THANK YOU” - on the left is a small cup of beer behind the chain of the sign.

Become ungovernable.

Photograph of a bald uakari monkey with a bright red face and head, light brown eyes, and a partially open mouth showing some teeth. The monkey has light brown fur around its face and neck. Text at the bottom reads, "In Brazil, the bald uakari is known as 'o macaco Inglês' which translates to 'the English monkey'".

Luv me trees. Luv me fruit. Luv me rainforest. Simple as.

Daily Mail UM tweet: “Girl named IKEA had to change her name to stop being picked on at school trib.al/qjNVIzO” A quoted tweet from @HarryLight_: “ "Stop being picked on at school" is arguably a worse name”

It looks like time is frozen.

what's the best british food?

@gork.botsky.social do you know?

A muscular elderly woman with short white hair wearing a black tank top is lifting a heavy barbell in a gym. She has a focused and determined expression on her face, with prominent veins and well-defined muscles on her arms and shoulders. The gym background is slightly blurred, showing gym equipment and overhead lights.

Judy Hench.

The image is a cartoon of two people sitting on a bus, each with a flag over their head representing a country. The person on the right, with a U.S. flag, is smiling and looking happy, with the caption "I've lost 100 pounds." The person on the left, with a British flag, looks sad and is slumped in their seat with the same caption "I've lost 100 pounds." The background through the bus windows contrasts a bright, sunny countryside on the right and a dark rocky landscape on the left. The cartoon humorously contrasts the meaning of "pounds" in the U.S. (weight) and the U.K. (currency).

Might have found a way to get this working again! Keep an eye out for the next hour or so!

*REMINDER* I do NOT own the Twitter account, I am a 3rd party just wanting the original poster to be on Bluesky now :(

Seems like there's some sort of rate limiting issue with the Bluesky API right now? Will update you all tomorrow.

Sorry for the weird looking posts in gibberish! seems like we figured out how to get image embeds. Tweets with video won't work, but images should now be looking more normal! Just gotta make sure this is stable now..

No one:

The British Museum: https://t.co/IIJYrtoyAp

to other methods which use Twitter's "unofficial" official API (Browser requests through Nitter).

Basically, it's not the easiest thing to do, so it might take time, but if you see posts in your timeline, I'm just trying to get it setup :)

Status update: Working on setting up auto crossposting, but I just want to reshare the fact that this isn't run by the same person that runs the Twitter one! This is hard to crosspost too, since Twitter has locked up the way of programatically viewing Tweets behind a paywall, so I have to resort

By the way, this account is unofficial. It crossposted the Tweets from the @NoContextBrits Twitter account through a tool which has now been shutdown (it used the RSS feed).

I will have to manually post here. Just know that you can find the official accounts on Twitter/X.

I’m not the official person that runs the twitter one.

i should setup auto cross posting on here again shouldn’t i
