Here's an easter egg in the new Lego Batman that I think all of you will REALLY appreciate. It's so good, I had to make a video.

Bob Vylan chanted. The right melted down. The Mail made something up. All seeming par for the course these days.

Whatever You Do, Don’t Make Them Uncomfortable
How one chant broke the illusion of free speech - and revealed how fragile Britain’s moral panic machine really is.

#Deaf folks in the US, are any of you interested in having a group chat on Signal just in case things go awry with the Trump regime? Communications is extremely important during this time. If you’re interested, ping me.

Sigh. Of course nothing will change after this. Not with USA’s current administration.

The only way for USA to take Canada as its 51st state is to invade/go to war against Canada. That's all it is.

Auschwitz Memorial @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social · 27/01/2025
Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. It did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.

Vice President-Elect Trump's fragile ego wouldn’t tolerate this for long. It’s not going to be long before he start taking it out on President-Elect Musk. Popcorn at the ready.

Been described to me that "woke" means anything that they don't like. On that account, I'm going to say The Tories/Reform etc are all woke.

Good article from parents deciding about cochlear implant for their young child. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...
theguardian.com
The cochlear question: as the parent of a deaf baby, should I give her an implant to help her hear?
The long read: Cochlear implantation is controversial in ways that parallel medical situations – such as artificial limbs and cornea transplants – are not. Why does this issue provoke such fierce deba...

I am delighted when people block me. It means they've decided that their Bluesky experience will be better without me in it, and availed themselves of the tools at their disposal to rid themselves of my pernicious self. Good for them! I celebrate their actions! Everyone deserves their best Bluesky.

I see some fantastic starter packs in topics that I'm interested in but at present they all only offer "follow all" option. What I would love is for a "Add to List" option, I use lists based on interest etc. #featurerequest @bsky.app

@neillyneil.bsky.social Was just checking out your profile after the job ad and it's wild reading your profile about how you can't form mental images etc. Being deaf myself, I have no auditory memory, so audio-based language like English is hard - I use visual mental images like reading etc to do it

I was literally just ranting about hearing THAT Mariah Carey song as had just heard it first time this year and how we’re just going to be hearing it a bazillions times a day. Go on Bluesky and first post I see is this. #perfection

So Daily Mail came out with an article raging about young Brits going for woke sandwiches. Yes “woke” sandwiches. Instead of ham etc, they’ve gone woke. The filling? Chicken. Yes just ordinary chicken. I feel for DM readers. They must go through life being absolutely terrified of everything.

Privatisation of monopolies are a failure - what a complete surprise. Put it back into public ownership. Yeah, it'll cost a vast fortune so rules need to be strictly to pay British suppliers and so on. At least it would be an investment into British economy and it'll be over decades.

If Bluesky seems dead or low activity on your end it might be that you haven't yet made the most of its design. It's different from Twitter in some key ways so you have to interact differently. I'm writing these tips below from my non-techy perspective, techies please weigh in if I get things wrong:

Site looks just like Twitter. Except that it actually works...just a tad lacking in content which is to be expected in early days. Anyway hello all.
