a cartoon cat is sitting on a chair in front of a control panel Alt: Kwazii from Octonauts spinning on an office chair

Octonauts mentioned

No, I think you're right, he's putting on a french accent when pingu is in the beret making the painting

I was polled once, and for the question of trust on the economy:‘osborne & cameron’ or ‘balls and milliband’? the pull of word association over what I actually thought was very strong.

Is there something you would recommend?

A poster for [Untitled Games Event] on Sunday the 18th, in Amsterdam! Sunday 18 Jan 2026 5-7PM Tussen de Bogen 46 1013JB Amsterdam (canal side through the gate)

This will be a monthly 'book club' of sorts for games and conversations about play, inspired by @molleindustria.org + others' LikeLike.

Help us spread the word!

Thank you!

@leaflet.pub Hello! it would be really nice if, when I embed a published leaflet page in another leaflet page, it would open in a column (like if I'd done /New Page) not a new tab (like i was going off-site).

in defence of my addopted home, I don’t think that’s what dvorák means.

Why does Star Trek have a computer you can talk to? Because it’s a scripted TV show and you need people to say what they’re doing out loud so the audience can follow the plot.

all white people are, definitionally, racist, but the best way to counter this is through having more interracial couples on tv

I had just sort of assumed he looked better than that

This reminded me that I used If We Burn for this (looking back, slightly over-written) art review, which turned into a review of your book mostmagazine.org/2024/04/21/p...

i’ll put it on my 2026 to do list

Will Good Vibes Only have review copies out? Does duke do this?

Oh so that’s why they’re Swedish: it’s meant to be a Viking raid. Have to say that went over my head

Just read the Wikipedia as ’America’s most apocalyptic science fiction television series’

If being a populist authoritarian was so easy, the why do they (erdugan, orban, etc.) try to stay in power forever. It’s not just personal megalomania, structural forces know they are hard to replace.

had they seen the first two?

agree, but I would want a canonical thread beginning with a post to bluesky from the leaflet account.

I don’t even think it would be possible to join bluesky, you have to migrate here

Is this discourse?

Do you think it's the Fall or the other Fall?

You are, unsurprisingly, correct

A totally valid solution to today’s mindset go that’s not being accepted

@stecurran.bsky.social whats wrong with this then?

Support Bolts We are a nonprofit publication that covers the nuts and bolts of political change, from the local up, and we need reader support to build our journalism.

You can help Bolts continue to provide crucial coverage of local elections. Here's how:

- Repost this = I donate $1.
- Follow @boltsmag.org = I donate $1.
- Donate (link below) + tell me how much = I match your donation.
(Donate monthly = I match a year's worth)

so like... counting how many times people do things?

But this is an observable function of the technology. all description involves judgement (as you of course know)

C’mon... Isn’t ‘judging what people do with media’ the entire focus of our academic and critical disciplines. when are we allowed to get to the point when we’re no longer pre-judging?

I agree to an extent, but it’s reading on easy mode. Complex ideas become simple and un-nuanced. and it’s not the same as a reader or introduction, because the ‘writer’ doesn’t care if the gloss misses the crucial points

hi @eireannmor.bsky.social was it you who replied to the joke that was something like: "we get it poets, one thing is like another thing" with "this is pretty much it"? Can't find it now.
