Freewheel @freewheel.bsky.social · 17hRestaurant reservations might sound aspirational to those who don’t get out much, they are trying to sell us a more cosmopolitan version of ourselves. Also it can’t really do much else. Might have worked on grindset guys but that fad was chained to people’s now shrinking hopes and aspirations. 050
Reposted by Freewheelflyingrodent @flyingrodent.bsky.social · 08/10/2026This is simply true: in the 2000s you could very vociferously denounce the wars and still be considered well within the mainstream. Now, the entire political/media class is *fucking terrified* of any minor public figure that says “Bullshit” too loudly, and they move as one to kick fuck out of them. 08417

Freewheel @freewheel.bsky.social · 06/10/2026Yes perfect sense. Games and the arts are such huge industries generating vast annual revenues and jobs and are not recognised for it. They really deserve and need more support from the government, and more respect from society. 110

![Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.
