Before he broke the twitter api, I was going to make an account that reposted everyone who called Elon musk “sir” in his replies. That account would’ve done numbers!

I feel like creating a bluesky feed of posts with comments containing “Are you stupid?” would spit out a lot of bangers.

I'm worried that kids today are growing up without a video game series that teaches them 13 or 15 similar sounding skate punk songs

"In 2012, 60 trans-related articles were published by Britain’s media. By 2022, it was more than 7,500, according to figures from Trans Media Watch. The media is not responding to public rage against vulnerable minorities; it is helping to create it." www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/709...

What is a reactionary centrist, and does the UK have them?

A term favoured by US progressives can help us understand Britain’s drift to the right

Just saw this great post again and it reminded me of my old beef against "spoilers don't matter, a good film isn't spoilable": The timing with which information is revealed is important in every movie! It's as much a part of the art as dialogue or lighting,it matters at least as much as aspect ratio

I miss “stealth mountain” from twitter circa 2013. It would correct people who said “sneak peak” instead of “sneak peek”.

To be clear I totally agree, I’m just bemoaning having to have the conversation again and again with people who think that Scotland intentionally has a vibes-based criminal verdict (or that it’s a good thing for a legal system to have!)

Wracke @wracketeer.bsky.social · 24d

It’s very frustrating because in the original system, “not proven” was always intended as an acquittal, “not guilty” is the unorthodox third verdict, and it meant the opposite of what people think “not proven” means

Everyone has a 1-2 season TV show they sorely miss and not enough people knew about that you are always praising the heavens about.

What's yours?

I was going to make a joke about how all the stretch goals from the Hollow Knight kickstarter have now been fulfilled, but they haven't! They never released a Wii U version!

watching Children of Men with some Labour MPs and they keep whispering stuff like "sound policy" and "measured response." a couple of em got uncomfortable at the images of caged refugees but their colleagues calmed them down by saying they'd probably have a different facility for the trans cages
