A funny one from this morning's misty sunrise on Glastonbury Tor. At first glance it looks like someone diving over the sun into the mist below. It is actually a bird heading straight for me and yes I did duck although I am sure it would have missed me. 😂

Whichever product designer thought "oh yes, blue LEDs would be good on the device that turns on at night"
I just wanna talk. Ignore the rubber mallet.

"Court rulings must be followed and respected"? Neighbor, respect is *earned*, not handed over in unmarked envelopes while vacationing on a billionaire's yacht. Put in some ethics rules with teeth and we'll talk respect.

Honestly confused: is there some YouTube algorithm quirk that requires that everyone slap the same set of lunatic background music over any YouTube short posted? I could understand if someone thought it enhanced the clip, but I just watched *standup comedy* with that ultra-dramatic music...

Sad and disgusting, especially when coupled with the old racist saw, “We were doing them a favor”. This needs to be made illegal—sadly, America’s willingness to abuse anyone in the prison system knows no bounds.
I guess we need to update this old map to include 21st century sterilizations.

Tired of “Why didn’t Biden do something about this” again and again. Yes, he could have advocated louder, but with Manchin/Sinema fifth-columning in the Senate and the midterm handover of the House, his hands were pretty well tied hard. If we want change, we have to focus on Congress, folks.

A day may come when I will stop mocking, and holding in contempt, the useful idiots who accepted Musk as a free speech hero.
But not today. And tomorrow doesn’t look good either.

That one weird trick that lets you pretend that you took over Twitter to restore free speech, but regularly ban/shadowban/deboost those you don't like: just claim anything you don't like is spam.
