Yeah, but @julieklausner.bsky.social can channel David Berkowitz's dog so well, I think it counts as three.

Not yet, but that's terrifying, and I'm so sorry that happened to you!

Do you also find yourself starting a lot of points with, "This is gonna be a long walk, but follow me"? I try that gambit so often, and it maybe works half the time.

The way he says, "ein meat," in that obnoxious Darill voice, is something that plays in my head several times a day.

I just scrolled for a solid minute to find this. I'm glad someone else was on it!

@dimension20.dropout.tv The minis for Toylight look so, so good! It's unnerving how they can look adorable and funny and lethal all at the same time. Amazing work!

There are some very useful theories that use social construction as a jumping-off point, but if someone just stops at, "[Phenomenon] is just an illusion of crowdthink," that's as helpful as arguing policy by asking, "How does anyone really *know* anything?"

(To be clear, I'm poking fun at the FBC for the ineptitude they're presented as displaying, not disagreeing with your assessment.)

"We just observe and contain the OoPs. Hell if we know how to use 'em for good!"

Benny Profane @bennyprofanev.bsky.social · 30/09/2026

What's wild is that's like a month after 9/11, and not only did the FBC sit that one out, they spent the aftermath getting bent out of shape about hot dogs.

Darling is messy in his post-punk synth glam, and his science lacks forethought. Venture aspires to the crystalline organization of prog, but his ambition outstrips his abilities. Humanity is fortunate the two have never joined forces.

Is Planescape: Torment just out of frame? Or do you like Baldur's Gate better because it has actual combat?

@rincewind.run, sorry for talking like I know you, but I caught your post the other day about desert island bands and thought to ask: How are you celebrating New Chvrches Day? www.youtube.com/watch?v=3x2B...

What if that IS rest of man? Some sort of centcaur.

Benny Profane @bennyprofanev.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

I know! The band's bsky account followed me one day, and I started listening to their stuff. They're pretty good, right?

What kind of person would even do that? A WatchPuppy?

Benny Profane @bennyprofanev.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

And they never break bureaucratic stride! "Hey, weapon-chosen, whatever the fuck you are, do you think our department could get a little more funding for containment? Three of my friends died and also we can't keep up with manila folder demand. Do the magic voices tell you anything about PTO??"

Since when have Ally Beardsley, Emily Axford, and Ify Nwadiwe ever steered anyone into perdition?

I just did that, and... Still fuck this shit?

Benny Profane @bennyprofanev.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

I love @themountaingoats.bsky.social counterprogramming the Sunday shitshow by giving himself Posting Madness. Can't wait for @jcsalterego.bsky.social to sidle up and Virgil his Dante.

Pretty sure this is Digital Inhumanities.

An idea for you, @democrats.org: Cut an ad that mashes up a couple times he's said he "hasn't heard about" something of grave national importance with this clip of him knowing more about Tiger Woods's condition than a Swiftie knows about Taytay's wedding.

Benny Profane @bennyprofanev.bsky.social · 02/09/2026

This is obviously ginned-up outrage, because where were these pearl clutchers on the gauge-blowing sexual tension between Toejam and Earl??

020

Benny Profane @bennyprofanev.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Fair, but that same logic applies to the feeling they're supposed to get when the firm gets in trouble and then "addresses the problem" by firing someone with that impressive-sounding title.

040

Benny Profane @bennyprofanev.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I don't know that we're filling in blanks. This is more a comment on the online celebrations about the death, not so much the incident itself.

060

Benny Profane @bennyprofanev.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

There's a really awful line of thought that connects the way firms dilute and defray responsibility by promoting hoards of young B-schoolers to VP, and those same VPs being used as literal sacrificial pawns. Agreed: bad sign.

Welcome to Bluesky, range of opinions, etc. and the image is the Sanjūsangendō.

The hundreds of Kannon statues at the Sanjūsangendō Temple in Kyoto, each with almost imperceptibly different faces.

The reach on that is crazy, I saw this post in my kid's pediatrician's app.

Have been enjoying Bluesky until today. Can't we all agree that both Hasan Piker AND Hakeem Jeffries are dickheads who should be unemployed? What kind of Astroturfed infighting are we engaging in here??

010

Benny Profane @bennyprofanev.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Or perhaps the work reflected a long-held desire.

You caught me. I am recruiting for some sort of Entire Feverish Cadre. Are you in? Maybe we will find Vheissu.

Benny Profane @bennyprofanev.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I am very upset at you and do not have any morbid curiosity about what "worse" would look like.

Benny Profane @bennyprofanev.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

I got the very same impression from the previews, and to me that speaks to a need for directors/creators to have at least a glancing understanding of current fash aesthetics, in order to demonstrate a good-faith attempt at avoiding them.

Benny Profane @bennyprofanev.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

For real, you guys destroyed me with this one. Partly because: you made me see a lot of it through your eyes, in that half the comedy came from just considering the logistics of making it all happen!

If they don't get the pig and their two dog friends to open for their next show, they're missing a huge opportunity.

Are you a bad enough dude to rescue it?

A great thread on how simulacrum and hauntology work together to produce harmful imaginaries for bad political actors (and a conquered press) to exploit.

You got peanut butter in my chocolate, @realinfowars.bsky.social @marthakelly.bsky.social. I nearly wet my jeans laughing, which I understand I can sell for a tidy profit on your fine network.

In my best Bluesky voice: It's actually from the Bahamas.

I assume it's the "Out of CTRL, no ESC" one?

I don't know if this is the only way to enter the scrum, but I hear Warhammer 40K gets you into some interesting circles around here. I've missed out on a lot by not knowing a blessed thing about it.
