Aaron: in the interest of transparency, here's 50 cherry picked examples of interactions that resulted in me blocking users among the mass blocking I just automated. So you're saying everyone that's been blocked has made a similar level of explicit threat or accusation of criminality against you?

Opened the official bsky app for the first time in a few weeks on a different account and was confused about why it looked kinda weird. Realised it had somehow inserted discovery into my pinned feeds as the first feed. 0/10 would not discover again

Aaron Rodericks wants to have his cake and eat it. He wants the built in "popularity" of using his official "head of trust and safety" account as his personal account too, but doesn't want to deal with the whole baggage of being head of trust and safety while making personal posts.

Oh, lol. Aaron decided that, rather than accept the lower profile of posting on a personal account instead of his dev account, he'd just vibe-code an anti-tranny defence field to auto block us all.

And it isn't just tourist visits that are dropping like a stone. There's an increasing exodus of professional and academic conferences and courses to various other nations, because they can no longer assume that attendees and speakers are able to obtain visas or even safely travel to their events.

Aren't beardos and weirdos fairly accurate descriptors for the average special forces members? Or is he gonna still let "operators" be deeply weird, with a full beard, while using this as a way to drive all the brown people out of the infantry?

Some TERF found my left handedness curve post and was like "heh, but that graph shows 100+ years whereas LGBT happened entirely in a single generation". And I don't know if there's a more perfect example of how TERFism is born out of an aggressively arrogant brand of ignorance.

Cool sayori version of the Drake pointing meme format

At the top a dismissive sayori labelled "UK government" holds up a hand and turns away disapprovingly from the box labelled "gang of masked and hooded men near a foreign nation's airbase"

At the bottom an approving "UK government" labelled sayori smiles and and holds up a single finger gun in approval of the box labelled "gang of masked and hooded men taking over a British port"

I saw drama about folks not knowing a pop song, with this comment. My backyard parties aren't playing the top 40 hits or whatever sports games are famous for overplaying the same 5 songs from the 70s and 80s Starbucks being a measure of culture? Lol I don't know anyone under 60 with "live TV"
What I've learned from this is that lots of people just don't take any notice of the music being played at backyard parties, baseball games, your local Starbucks, live TV broadcasts, etc. That's fine! But those people probably aren't the best judges of what pop culture is ubiquitous

Narrowing this down to 9 was tricky honestly. Also kept these vaguely in order of their first exposure to me. Wolfenstein 3D was my first real PC game, and I played the hell out of it bakc then. Ocarina of time is easily the game I've replayed the most, I love that game so much

I knew the scale of things would be truly silly, but to carry the equivalent amount of oil that a single Suez Max oil tanker can transport, you would need over 4000 trucks. To "replace" a single ship

this kind of makes it look like a significant driver of mental health problems in teens was some kind of large scale event that happened between like 2019 and 2022? I can't think of anything that would fit those criteria though.

Important note, the "Integrated Care Boards" mentioned here are not clinician groups. They're the bureaucratic layer of governance led by a mix of professional managers and money men, often linked directly to councils, and a "partner member" or two who are usually GPs to provide clinical advice

You can be whatever the fuck you want
Some guy with short brown shirt back and sides hair, bushy eyebrows, the bare scruff of facial hair that he managed to produce on his face, kinda smiling awkwardly at a camera Woman with Red-Pink wavy hair down to her shoulders, cut shorter one one side with an undercut of natural dark brown hair above her ear which has two helix piercings and a lobe piercing. She's wearing a mustard coloured jumper and noticing in this photo that her body has suspiciously hourglass shaped proportions suddenly? When the fuck did that happen? Wtf? Oh also her eyebrows and neatly styled and her lips are made up with a slightly dusky red that's a half shade off her hair colour but less vibrant

You know what sucks? If I want a cheap frozen pizza for dinner, because I'm being lazy, there's a choice of 2 margheritas, or one "veg supreme" in the supermarkets near me. Meanwhile there's 3-5 different brand offerings for every meat option. They recently removed the only mushroom pizza.

Be interesting to see if anyone I know actually gets automatically sorted into adult. Strong suspicion that any trans (or broader queer identity) related server is mysteriously going to count against people being auto-sorted as adults.

In a shock to no one, both of my accounts (which are respectively 10 and 5 years old) have been automatically age estimated. There are servers I have over 93k messages on and yet somehow "we don't have sufficient info to estimate your age". Fuck off @discord.com and pull your head out of your arse
We don't have enough information to place your account in an age group yet and you want access to age-restricted content, spaces, or settings now. Additional safety protections apply in the meantime, while core features like messaging friends, joining voice calls or servers that are not age-restricted stay the same.

As someone in the US and not subject to the UK's "any speech left of Oswald Mosley might be terrorism, so watch it guvna" laws, i feel confident in saying that it would be legally and morally justified if security forces shot every single far-right fascist in the Channel trying to commit murder.

Porn induced erectile dysfunction? I think you're using porn wrong or using a the wrong porn if its having that effect, just saying. Also vibrator abstention, because you're being gaslit that your (inevitably cis-male) partner not being able to make you orgasm is your fault.

There's a Callistemon tree outside our back door, and this year it's exploded into so many bright flowers. Which means every hour of the day it has a bunch of rainbow lorikeets hopping around it and squawking (except at night where the blossom bats move in instead)

I know medics who will simultaneously talk about their inability to initiate tasks, struggles with attention etc, talk about how they knew people at uni who tried to use adhd meds as a study drug but it didn't help them at all and instead made them overstimulated and jittery.

So a SurveyMonkey link, advertised in a free magazine given to GP practices. The suggestion being that the rate of positive diagnosis for referred patients is "suspiciously high" for those GPs referring patients for assessment. Maybe because the process and stigma self selects out so many?
The survey was open between 13 April and 7 May 2026, collating responses using the SurveyMonkey tool. The survey was advertised to our readers via the Pulse Today website and email newsletters, with a prize draw for a £500 voucher as an incentive to complete the survey. The survey was unweighted, and we do not claim this to be scientific – only a snapshot of the GP population. In total, 829 GPs answered the survey. To work out the averages, we applied a midpoint analysis to each question.

The left handedness graph, which shows a rapid increase in the rate of left handedness after it stopped being socially unacceptable to be left handed that levels out at what is evidently around the natural rate of left handedness in the population. It has a nice soft pastel rainbow gradient background behind the graph
