Shadowspinner @shadowspinner.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Y’know what, with ratios that size I can’t imagine there is anything useful left to say to the main character of the day and no further need to demonstrate consensus disapproval. Further dogpiling seems unnecessary and I think I can safely sit this one out. 000
Shadowspinner @shadowspinner.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I was puzzled about what exactly the witticism (… such as it is) on the side of the Amazon Prime van meant until they slid the door closed, and “The P in AS stands for P” transformed into “The P in ASAP stands for Prime”. 100
Shadowspinner @shadowspinner.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I remember being confused because I kept seeing dudes worship him and I couldn’t figure out why — he wasn’t even an engineer at all! He had great PR. All he needed to do was Not Pop The Illusion, and not give people a reason to want to pop it for him. Arrogance got him to roll in needles instead. 000

Shadowspinner @shadowspinner.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I don’t mean to be rude but do you all know that you can just… Not follow, listen to, or leave unmuted the Bluesky staff? Even if they’re saying silly and/or harmful things you aren’t obligated to host them on your feed on a daily basis. It isn’t high enough on the praxis priorities list for that. 100

Shadowspinner @shadowspinner.bsky.social · 06/09/2026It has been eighteen years since Kings of Leon’s Sex on Fire came out, there or thereabouts, and I still have an unreasonable and instantaneous negative reaction to the sound of that guy’s voice. Are any of their other songs better? No idea! I’ll be switching them off as soon as he enters the mix! 100

Shadowspinner @shadowspinner.bsky.social · 31/07/2026I wouldn’t buy an Olivia Rodrigo set purely out of spite — consumerism isn’t activism and it certainly isn’t when the company is Lego — but after a month of endless whining from twits that Lego is making Lego for giiiiirls instead of REAL Lego fans the tipping point is pretty close! 000

Shadowspinner @shadowspinner.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Household-wise, this year’s heatwave management has been better than last year’s, because (at last) all the upstairs blinds are fitted, and also they have been lined with reflective foil things for good measure. Knocked off a good five degrees, I think. Still too warm! But not AS BAD. 100

Shadowspinner @shadowspinner.bsky.social · 27/05/2026There’s a large patch on my right leg that has been doing some increasingly loud but fortunately intermittent nerve pain thing and honestly I could do without it spending ten seconds five times a day screaming that it’s on fire.

Shadowspinner @shadowspinner.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Had an extremely vicious mid-word throat sproing yesterday. I’m fine, I got everything put back where it’s supposed to be pretty quickly, but lord, the ache and being stuck croaking until it finishes healing, it’s so very tedious. Highly recommend producing collagen that functions properly instead. 100
