Sal Cap0ne @salimotxo.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Whoa. Opened Bluesky, first four posts are about Choosin' Texas, a song of which I had not heard until four posts ago. One of these posts says that anyone who says they haven't heard of Choosin' Texas is lying. What is happening 590

Sal Cap0ne @salimotxo.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Apparently in the parlance of our times we are to say someone keeps repeating something 'like a broken CD'. Did CDs even do this? I feel like broken CDs skipped ahead. 430
Sal Cap0ne @salimotxo.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Back from extremely challenging but bizarrely enjoyable French class. A properly diverse group of ages and backgrounds, all of us fumbling with latent skill ('extremely rusty A level' was the norm) and laughing at our own inability to remember very basic words. Everyone do classes!! 1160

I read the first one BITD and thought she came across like someone you were at university with who was a right piece of work and then my friend said 'I was at university with her and she was a right piece of work' so that was that. 3353

Sal Cap0ne @salimotxo.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I recently changed my youthful, glamorous, highly filtered photo on LinkedIn to a mumsy middle-aged one that better reflects reality, and since then i've had three job offers. I don't know what the lesson is here. Is pity-hiring a thing now? 3110

Sal Cap0ne @salimotxo.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Curious thing about Oslo is you get off the train and the Royal Palace is just there, with the Parliament buildings facing it, no gates, no walls. You can walk right up to them. Knock on the door. Cut a dodgy business deal with a crown prince. Have a cardamom bun. 130

Sal Cap0ne @salimotxo.bsky.social · 05/09/2026What I love about Bluesky is that the most ridiculous and smartest people in the room are often the same people. Anyway, here's Possible Cabbage discussing the transcendental nature of Liouville's constant with Giant Piss Baby. 091

Sal Cap0ne @salimotxo.bsky.social · 31/08/2026This is an incredible statistic. Are half of you spending £120 on things you've seen recommended by wellness influencers? I feel like you're not. 331
Sal Cap0ne @salimotxo.bsky.social · 30/08/2026From the pearl-clutching response to this I'm guessing that Bluesky is not ready for my long-held belief that people should smell of people and not of soap, and a man in yesterday's t-shirt is more attractive than a man fresh from the shower. Might move to France. 120
