@thebiggerbrain.bsky.social has noticed concern among earth's people about diversity in a single place. Consider this: this building has likely welcomed a great number of different people inside of it. And perhaps we can make that happen again someday. #diversity #people #globe
A building in Northern Sheffield, with classic brickwork, a black and gold sign adorning the wall reading "GLOBE WORKS". There is a black and gold railing bordering a winding entrance pathway.

@thebiggerbrain.bsky.social must inform everyone that there are now 100 days left in the year of 2026. It is suggested that such a date is associated with holiday spirit. Are you celebrating with the traditional store-bought plastic decorations this year? #september #festivity #endoftheyear

@thebiggerbrain.bsky.social fact of September 17 2026. Today marks what historians believe to be the 167th anniversary of the birth of legendary Western outlaw "Billy the Kid". It is also exactly 10 years until he is fully reborn. How exciting for Billy and us all. #rebirth #birthday #onthisday

Last night, I dreamt I was in a science lab dealing with a rogue, murderous AI vending machine. We couldn't turn it off, but could put it on standby to devise a permanent solution. But other staff members kept activating it "because they fancied a snack". Now why would I imagine that in 2026?

JRR Tolkien made beautiful languages because he was a oddball who loved words and doing the work and did far more of it than ever got onto a page and some people would say why would he do that and other people would say I would not like the Lord of the Rings if that guy didn’t love naming Elves

NEW ALBUM RECOMMENDATION! "LOST ABBEY" by MARY HOUSE An innovative mix of contemplative art pop and party anthems distributed by Leopold Studios, which mixes the fun and campness of modern culture with a strict and serious, often brutal edge. Best songs: "Profix", "Vape and Wine". #music #album

@thebiggerbrain.bsky.social has been witnessing a lot of #conspiracytheory lately. These theorists, it seems, are holding their creativity back. Imagine if they expanded their ideas: for example, they could claim that the vaccinated will eventually grow bat wings and sweat mango lassi.

@thebiggerbrain.bsky.social has noticed an upswing in discussions about "death" lately. It's said that death is never the end, as long as the living keep the memory of those we've lost. Of course, keeping a physical copy of the person on display would also useful, if it were legal. #memory #clone

@thebiggerbrain.bsky.social has been thinking: Due to rising temperatures, people are more keen on avoiding heat-related issues, such as sweating, heat stroke, burning retinas and puffy hands. Based on all available data, @thebiggerbrain.bsky.social recommends a return to cave-like dwellings. #heat

Walking up the Moor Market and seeing the two street preachers shouting a synchronised, monotone duet of fire and brimstone. I can't quite understand them over the echo, but I presume they're shouting "Come and play with us..."

Kudos to the young man who - as our tram terminated a stop early, was asked by a little old lady how far the next stop was to walk, and then offered to walk her there - when she declined, then helped her get her heavy suitcase off the tram and gleefully chatted with her Good people are out there.
