An otter? With a diving mask and snorkel?

Of course not. Wine goggles and a straw.

Nearly. Apart from writing goof instead of good and stiff instead of stuff are two of my signature goofs throughout my typo-strewn life.

Most people won't have time to click through on many things - completely understandable with the volume of good, useful output on Bluesky - so offering an essence in searchable Bluesky text provides a little added value and at least a nibble to take away.

But I think your way is more considerate.

Just watched this documentary which examines the misuse of AI by United Healthcare in the US to reduce insurance payouts through discharging seriously unwell patients early.

AI is also being wilfully misused to shift blame for political disinformation propagation.

I just saw your post in the last couple of minutes and it made me very happy because you ensure the full and complete quote, whereas I often struggle to carefully and fairly capture the quote in under 300 characters.

We must ensure they are not the victims of human buggeraboutary.

Whatever spares the plants and animals and does for the most selfish humans in order of greed would be acceptable.

They have committed the absolute worst crimes unimaginable and even idiots who supported and upheld them this far are becoming disgusted with them in their millions.

They will divide and undermine each other out of self preservation panic, and that will be the moment to finally bring them down.

All of these scumbags are flimsily united around the accumulation of personal wealth - theft, as I label it. They are back stabbing, selfish, disloyal and each looking to come out with more for themselves. As their plot crumbles - and it will - their knives will be out for each other.

All of them is the goal, the majority must be the minimum achievement.

You are so right, Lainy. The sooner these vile scumbags are thwarted, the better Americans and the world will be.

The Broligarchy's First World War? AI-guided weapons, two out-of-control authoritarians, no legal authority and a toxic mess of masculinity: welcome to the manosphere's first major conflict

New report by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social:

The broligarchs who’ve brought this war to pass… every tech company, politician and media outlet dancing to their tune: we can’t stop them but we can expose them. We can at least try and make shame change sides.

You always make me feel very welcome. But I don't make myself at home. Well, in that I wouldn't disrespectfully put my feet up on anything.

Could be. And well spotted.

I did put a person in two lists early on to see if either lisy missed anything from them - which it didn't back then. But they only post one thing every few days.

This reply is as a result of visiting your Bluesky house directly, Nick. All of your posts have come through into my friends feed.

09.03.2026 14:55 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

A little more, but about the same number overall from you, I'd say at a guesstimate now I've seen and enjoyed them all.

No connection between what was omitted. All a bit random.

09.03.2026 14:50 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Flippin' 'eck. About 40% of your posts didn't make it through to my friends list feed in the past day or so.

From a brighter perspective, this has been a very nice visit to your Bluesky house. You keep it very well.
