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"

It’s 2050 and a teen girl is torrenting a .tar.gz file of all the consciousnesses of all the tech bros who uploaded themselves into the cloud in a bid for immortality and modding them into The Sims 4

I hope no one missed that the Jamaican bobsled team won an international gold a few days ago, the presence of a lucky egg has not been denied. One of the team is even called Junior. Feel da riddim!

To heal our divided nation I propose splitting Game of the Year awards into two categories:

- Game of the Year That’s 3D and You Use a Sword and/or Gun to Explode a Guy
- Game of the Year That’s Some Gay Bullshit Indie Meditation on Grief or Whatever

Space photographer Andrew James McCarthy @ajamesmccarthy.bsky.social has captured many epic images of celestial bodies, but this may be his greatest: a perfectly timed photo of a skydiving friend with the sun behind him (shot w/ equipment revealing great solar detail).

Behold "The Fall of Icarus."

The modern world is just pro wrestling and a gambling addiction standing on top of a mechanical Turk.
Founders on LinkedIn still seem to be struggling with the difference between telling people about their humble beginnings and admitting to straight up committing fraud.

It's a real shame that no-one publishes a 3D map of our cities that shows the underground as well as the surface. Seeing the tunnels used by pedestrians, trains, roads, clean water, sewage, gas and electricity would be great. Hidden infrastructure that needs to be seen.

Exactly. It is not humanly possible not to editorialize as an anchor, if you are filling an indeterminate period of 'dead air'. Also, procedurally inevitable that you will give platform to questionable pundits, whose nonsense goes unchallenged, as the gallery barks instructions in your ear. Obvious.
Strongly agree with the case that Alex made for this. Also - the News 24 presenters all look as if they HATE the gig. (Rolling news works on a station like LBC because the public join in the conversation and the presenters are allowed to have opinions).
