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.

I admire Zelenskyy’s restraint in not kicking the several shades of shit put of them. The fury in his body language while two cunts attempts to bully him.

I'm convinced that my puppy have done a dump in the house. I can smell it. It's not a farty smell, but a poop smell. (not completely house trained yet). Yet I can't find it. And then I see your poster and...yes...I'm sure she ate her poop. It's like fudge to her dammit 🤦

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.

Following up to this - I think that high house price raise traps us. We end up thinking we need on this for wealth, but a growing wage is better for economy (wage = you can spend this on everyday stuff. You can't pay for your shopping with a projected increase in house price)

JGJones @jgj.pt · 07/01/2025
As a homeowner I would like to say "good thing" but in reality the answer is too simple. If it's rising faster than wages etc are, then it's a bad thing. I have kids and they'll like to buy a house, it's harder than ever for them. And as long as it goes up faster than wage, it's getting worse.

Algorithmic feeds probably is something that should be reconsidered but obviously it isn’t the only issue. Laws are too slow to keep up with the rapid pace of technology online.

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.

The Time Person of the Year get awarded not for being great. It can be simply because they had a significant impact. For example a complete idiot with verbal diarrhoea managed to get elected as president…(plus they award it for every president-elect anyway). Sometime it’s a bit of a troll.

Good article from parents deciding about cochlear implant for their young child. www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

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’ve used a starter pack plus followed the same people I used to follow on Twitter for that. I happen to have an interest in politics (mostly UK) as well as infosec though so my posts will be either or not 🙂

Respectfully disagree. I don’t believe this would happen but hopefully we don’t ever end up in this state anyway.

They might have this power but should they attempt to do so without advice would be pretty likely to see them quickly stripped of this power. Their role are just symbolic even if some “power” with it.

Mullvad VPN is worth considering too - they don't even take any of your details. You can pay them in many ways including posting cash and link it to a randomly generated account number.

The GOP always refers it to as Obamacare. So supporters are against "Obamacare" not understanding that this is just GOP's name for Medicaid that they _do_ favour. Then there's the MSM not using the correct name (ie you'll get news report from the likes of Fox News calling it Obamacare)

JGJones @jgj.pt · 03/12/2024
Trump have never provided a shred of evidence in all the (hundreds?) of court cases bought up over his claims of fraud in multiple states. Even with GOP appointed judges, no evidence. Saying something over and over isn’t factual. You have to prove it. With no evidence that’s not happening.

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

Wouldn't that depend on which you join? You also get hidden groups or restricted access groups as well as public groups. If anyone which to complain about echo chambers, I reckon FB Groups are the prime example of these and you're only "influential" within these groups you are in.
