Happy Halloween!! 🎃🐶 Please enjoy @karekareo's very cute ghost pup trick or treating.

Outrageous decision. Thoroughly disappointed with that #GBBO

I don't agree with what they did but it's the same as people who get annoyed that people critiquing capitalism actively participate in it. "Why are you complaining about big tech while using an iPhone smh" type nonsense.

Just Stop Oil activist drove petrol car to Stonehenge, court told Three people are on trial at Salisbury Crown Court accused of spraying Stonehenge with orange powder.

This is such a misleading/manipulative headline. It was their grandparents car. Evidence also shows it's best to continue driving a car as long as possible as long as it's efficient rather than buying a new electric car.

Utterly dominant from Lando. This is going to be very interesting. #F1

Jonny Greenwood from Radiohead said that the backlash against him for his support of Israel is “the embodiment of the left”. Can’t wait for the new single, “You can’t say anything anymore” from their album, “Fuck the Woke Libtards”.

Yea...Kinda glad I didn't get tickets for their shows in November now, that interview was hard to read.

Despite fumbling the overall idea a bit, this film is still worth watching. I need a fan edit of this film that's just the found footage sections.

It is concerning. If Norris takes pole here and the win tomorrow, I'd be betting Oscar isn't even involved and it's just Max/Lando for the title

Met Police says it will no longer investigate non-crime hate incidents The move comes as an investigation into Graham Linehan is dropped, after his arrest at Heathrow Airport.

FFS if this was about pretty much any other group of people he'd be in legal hell, fined, maybe even time. But no, bigoted man who will suffer an aneurysm or blood clot from his sheer hatred to transwomen will get off scot-free like always.

Another day on normal island.

Shoutout to whoever was like the news sucks, let’s spice it up by doing a jewel heist at the Louvre

Which means it’s time for the pro-Palestinian activists who have protested in cities and on college campuses all over the world since October, 2023, to change their tune. If you were marching for a ceasefire in Gaza; if you were pushing institutions to divest from Israeli-linked firms; if you’ve held a sign that says “Free Palestine” — it’s time to reconsider your tactics.

It’s easy to say, “We won’t fund oppression.” It’s harder — and far more meaningful — to say, “We will fund rebuilding.” That pledge is desperately needed. There are encouraging headlines about funding for Gaza, but, as of yet, little cold, hard cash.

If activists demand accountability from Gaza’s reconstruction, while proactively investing in it, they’ll be making a future for the strip not just possible, but better. And here’s the uncomfortable truth: While divestment campaigns are great at signaling values, they rarely create concrete results that bring positive change to the lives of everyday Palestinians. They have yet to rebuild a single school. They don’t help provide health care. Gaza needs more than slogans. It needs billions of dollars. Now. So, to those in the pro-Palestinian movement: you’ve spent months organizing, marching and lobbying. You’ve asked the world to listen. Now’s your chance to lead. If you truly believe in justice for Palestinians, this is the time to show it. Put your money where your mouth is. Don’t divest from Israel. Invest in Gaza.

"You college students are hypocrites because you won't provide the billions of dollars needed to rebuild Gaza after the genocide we did" is a hell of a thing to put in writing but okay

...that's not a hip drop tackle

So this is just legitimate ragebait. The context was specifically about expanding the Nintendo IPs and the Nintendo Museum where they can see and use old hardware. Here's the question and answer

I have started dating a man who is very nice but does not share my politics. Any advice? "You just have to get the fuck out of there. What are you thinking? He must be incredibly attractive-looking. I mean, what is it? Is he tall? Does he remind you of your father? There's only two kinds of politics these days, and you can't breathe the same air as the other kind."

Well I was not expecting BILL NIGHY to be spitting facts today!

4 panel comic Panel 1: A group of people just having a lovely time. Everyone is laughing Panel 2: An absolute Federal Agent appears in the middle of the group laughing like an obnoxious robot Panel 3: The group quickly disperses, leaving the gross creepy agent by himself Panel 4: The agent touches his ear and says “arrest their moms”

the US government has arrived on bluesky

I've heard multiple times people say this is the worst championship in ages and I honestly don't know what they're talking about

Frankly it's a breath of fresh air to have an engaging title fight happen without a toxic relationship; on the other hand if people can't sense the tension building they simply are not paying attention.

I play Stardew VERY slowly in the progression sense. I'm nearing the end of spring year 5 and I still haven't even touched a lot of this game.

no you're spending your day off planning your stardew farm out perfectly

This is an exact encapsulation of why I moved to Bluesky.

No amount of handwringing in the Atlantic about how I owe some eternal Promethean suffering to the discourse is going to make me stay on a site I hate, that stopped doing anything for me professionally years ago.

Aw man, was hoping for an all Irish kicking team with McNamee

Hmmmmmmmm

Kermit faces off with Hopper in The Muppet Movie

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites The style is unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war.Our analysis of 43 official IDF videos found recycled 3D environments, spatial inaccuracies, and assets lifted from unrelated artists and institutions.We traced over 30 unique assets to Washington-based 3D creator Ian Hubert, who makes bespoke models created for his sci-fi project Dynamo Dream, available to his Patreon subscribers. Models of parking lots, antennas, + pipes were repurposed as Hamas and Iranian military sites

@evanhill · 11m Fascinating work here tracing how the IDF recycled 3D assets from a cyberpunk sci-fi art project, the Scottish Maritime Museum and elsewhere to populate its widely-seen models of supposed enemy locations in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. One of the most infamous, the alleged underground Hamas command center at Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, used to justify an unprecedented assault on the biggest medical center in Gaza, was actually an animation the IDF had used the previous year, saying at the time it was a tunnel beneath a UN school.

Losing my mind and what look like video game assets but instead were used to justify war crimes and genocide in the real world

Been thinking on F1 and I think their issue is they don't respect the younger audience or make any time to understand them

People are desperate to create controversy and a rivalry. It was a nothingburger of an incident, Norris was the quicker driver that day.

Seeing quite a few people still getting full throated about turn 3 at Singapore and McLaren's apparent spiritual abandonment of Piastri and I honestly don't think it's a thing.
