Bill & Ted's Most Drawn-out Adventure

When did the panel last miss something important because it was in the shadows on a sunny day? #whatwedointheshadows

The rules, if you are keeping track:

If a single left activist anywhere in the world says "defund the police," it becomes the official position of the Democratic Party, now and forever.

He claimed God's authority, but didn't put his hand on the Bible(s) offered to him when he swore his Oath. 😂/😭 totally cool and normal.

I have an ominous feeling that the people currently saying “it’s not a Nazi salute” will soon be saying “it’s just a symbol from Hinduism.”

They're just dogfooding efficiency

The difference is, though, Hitler’s cars are still really popular.

Global: FIFA produces whitewash of Saudi Arabia World Cup bid and ignores own report to provide compensation for migrant workers in Qatar Reacting to FIFA’s evaluation of Saudi Arabia’s bid for the 2034 men’s World Cup, Steve Cockburn, Amnesty International’s Head of Labour Rights and Sport, said: “As expected, FIFA’s evaluation of Saud...

The only football story which matters at the moment. On 11 December, on Zoom, supine federations will designate - by acclamation, no vote, and en bloc - Saudi Arabia to host the 2034 FIFA World Cup. Shame on every single one of those cowards and moral zombies.

This is (a) thoughtful, detailed (b) very un-Xitter and (c) probably all you need to read to keep abreast of the assisted dying debate today.
However, Bluesky does odd things with lonnngggg threads, so look for the "Continue thread..." links every now and then.

Future Head of the Department of Efficiency posting QAnon memes on deadbird site. I wonder if early Q posters ever dreamed their conspiracy theory would lead to QAnon believers leading the USG.

Nightsky | hctr.dev See live conversations from all over Bluesky as a dynamic night sky

I made a thing!

I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev

It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃

Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something

Bluesky’s stream of consciousness 🌀

...just sat in front of a mirror, right? #sorrynotsorry

You too can relive the moment when the "...and find out" part dropped. #fafo

YouTube video by Tracklib Sample Breakdown: The Most Iconic Electronic Music Sample of Every Year (1990-2024)

Any sample-nerds out there? This video from Tracklib is *insane* - the samples used to make some of the most iconic tunes from 1990 - 2024. Half an hour of total bangers, and the bits they used to make 'em:

#BREAKING RFK Jr to head the Department of Dying of a Preventable Disease

Controversial oversexed blonde sitting next to Stormy Daniels etc etc..

On a personal level, I really find it very hard to get over how little many men seem to ultimately care about the safety and dignity of women.
