Momentous events in Syria this morning. The 54 year rule of the Assad family appears to be over, with rebel forces taking to state TV claiming President Assad has fled Damascus.

The prime minister has said he will hand over power to the opposition and has called for elections.

This South Korean coup attempt is, I think, one of the saddest attempts of anything ever

North Korea no What Sorry force of habit Source Korea no

Regarding current events.

Good riddance

You’ll need one if you carry on like this

Load em up in the transit, bosh job done

Sespite 21%, reform would still likely struggle to push over 25 seats in a General Election

Never thought I’d say thank you FPTP

FUCK JOE ROGAN!

I like how my car/shitbox (Hyundai i10) is made by the same company as the K9 Howitzer. Very cool.

This 97 year old diner still serves their Coke the old-fashioned way.

Crash of Samfylkingin and Miðflokkurinn is quite surprising given the momentum they had. I think the only certainty is that the Independence Party have got another term in government in the bag which sucks

Flicking between here and X it’s day and night. I think no social media can be perfect, compared to the bots, misinformation and outright fascism spewed every second on X, Bluesky is still a comparative paradise

Politics UK are getting a bit pathetic tbh

Twitter is such a cesspit of bots, fascism and misinformation. It’s a total shithole now it pains me to use but a lot of my moots haven’t moved over yet, v sad

He really was the people’s princess 🕊️💔

We’ve got to accept it as an inevitability I’m sorry!!

Rest in peace John. We lost a real one 💔

It’s the thumbs up for me. Completely disarming

Wonder how long it will be until Bluesky falls to leftist infighting

This has got to be an all timer of a launch day error, 11/10 no notes

Holy shit this goes so hard

Disappointed but not surprised

If other government agencies join Bluesky and become your favorite agency just remember who was here first and who has two eagles in their logo.

I think Elon Musk’s management of Twitter is an all timer of a fumble

a bunch of u are sucking up to all the new brazilian bluesky users in a cheap and tawdry attempt to get more followers and i gotta say that first of all it’s very unseemly and second of all i highly doubt it’ll work because they’re far too intelligent and attractive to fall for such an obvious ploy
