If I had to pick my favourite film of all time, it would be that one where the DVD logo slowly bounces around the screen.

Looks like it’s failed at the first hurdle, thankfully

Yeah, you hear the parachute unravel just before the music kicks in?

Let’s face it, nothing’s good with anyone right now but don’t let that ruin this upbeat mood!

The first task for Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy - joint heads of the Department of Efficiency - will be to fight each other to determine which head of the Department of Efficiency is surplus to requirements.

There’s a great Reply All episode about LiveJournal and the very sinister reasons it suddenly went all weirdly Russian

Probs a bit ambitious and I don’t actually know if Bluesky uses hashtags but I’d be interested to hear from people (old friends!) from the early days of Twitter who have stopped posting but would have continued to post on Twitter if it hadn’t become so awful and #IfTwitterStillExisted

Other things I would have tweeted if Twitter still existed. This absolutely obnoxiously positioned Lime bike. I considered creating a dedicated Twitter account collecting pictures like this called something like @LimeBikeWankers but then couldn’t be bothered #IfTwitterStillExisted

Thinking about recent things that I’ve seen that once upon a time I would have posted on Twitter had it still existed: Tesco releasing a Brie and cranberry sandwich called β€œJingle Brie” would be a good example. This is not acceptable.

Also, I think lining an echo chamber with a comfort blanket would result in the echo being absorbed and I’m not sure if that makes the metaphor more or less accurate. Perhaps more?

I don’t want to suggest that the mass-migration to Bluesky following the US election results indicates the platform is a sort of comfort blanket-lined echo chamber, but I posted for the first time on here today and the first reply I got was from someone who I work with sits about 5m from my desk.
