For a Sikh

These are their big sins
pride (ahankar)
anger (krodh)
lust (kam)
greed (lobdh)
attachment (moh)

I have trouble with anger
I like my 'things'
Disability cured me of pride I have had little or none since 94
They won me over with thoughts on females being equal

Do they accept trans?

My husband and I spent almost 2 years homeless while I was waiting to get my disability. He was working part time because we no longer had a car.

You'd be surprised how many unhoused people ARE working. There's no where to go. All of a sudden, everyone looks at you like you're the most vile POS.

A reminder that you can and should alt text your GIFs just like any other image.

Turn on the alt text reminder. Since so many of you clearly forget every time, let the app remind you.

Basic accessibility is not optional. You are being exclusionary.

No Reform representative on the Laura Kuenssberg show for two weeks running - that's a record! It's almost as though we didn't want to talk about the 28 witnesses to my teenage racism and antisemic abuse.

Being a British parent is so weird bc you're actually worried about paying the sky high rent/mortgage & getting GP appointments but the entire press keeps telling you you're worried there's a trans person or immigrant nearby & the vat on Eton means there'll only be two skiing holidays this year

When a company is fined for criminal behavior, the fine should come out of the personal pockets of those in the C-Suite and bonuses banned for the next two fiscal years

With the passing of Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, we have lost not just one of the greatest villains in all cinema, we lost one of the most skilled actors of an era.

I would have killed to see him star as a grumpy detective in a mystery series. He could have done it.

He could do anything.

RIP

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

There's only a 6 month window between moving here and @c29.bsky.social moving in with us. I honestly thought I'd introduced the cheestastic Automan to Caz. Not so. This is being remedied between episodes of Airwolf (don't watch the 4th series). I think after those the logical must surely be Manimal?

How to buy yourself a needy malignant narcissist? Just offer him a phony, made up "Peace Prize" & he's all your's!!!
No need for a formal ceremony as he'll snatch from the box & put it on all by himself. Both laughably pathetic AND pathetically laughable. 🤡 🫣

FIFA created a Peace Prize?!?!?
They can't even keep the football fans from beating each other up!
But I am totally in favour of footballs with his face on them. I think everyone in the world should be issued with one, so they can kick the living daylights out of him to their heart's content...🤣

So gas and electricity prices are set to rise again - because we have to pay for substantial infrastructure upgrades.

I wonder how much infrastructure could have been upgraded if private companies hadn’t spent over 30 years stealing our money for a few shareholders?

As far as humour goes, that's about as dark as it gets.
But since the gun lobby in America pretty much uses that exact logic reasoning, maybe that's as dark as it gets...🤷‍♂️🙄

The real question is not "Why is Bluesky so left-coded," the real question is "Why can't the right exist in a social media environment without algorithmic assistance, where people can ignore them"
