@joem2go if the Olympics had a category for Best Gritter Names, Scotland would be the undisputed World Champions

It was cold today. Like - 4°C cold. So I wore this long-sleeved black turtleneck t-shirt thing that I bought ages ago.

Of course, just before I was about to leave the house, I stayed getting Milk Tray Man vibes, so I had to throw a hoodie over it to negate them.

This is probably more a post for my UKian friends

@tgraph52 @process Speak for yourself! 😋

@process This is the place I've chosen to be my 'social media home'. If there were restrictions on what I could talk about, or what things I could say good or bad things about, that wouldn't be the case.

As I see it, Bluesky has a very good chance of being "the new Twitter". And that's not really a compliment. It's subject to the same financial pressures and incentives, so I think it's just a matter of time before it goes the same way.

@stueytheround @EnochianEntropy @Qbae EVERYONE should go hard left, comrade! ✊😉

@CriticalCupcake I can't think of a reason they should particularly be allowed to endanger people

@stueytheround @daniel I don't know what happened so I can't really comment on that, but I'd be sorry to see you go *hugs*

5am, heading bedwards.. ✌️

@MrsBentoBako good luck!

@Lulz4l1f3 @Coffee_and_Salt @th3j35t3r re #2, there's a ridiculous amount of far right figures (in the UK at least) that've promoted the idea that Muslims are mostly paedophiles - and then been caught out themselves.

The EDL (Tommy Robinson's old group) had various nonces in key positions (one of which TR wanted to campaign for *after* hours conviction).

@CoSoTips One minor thing - if a person posts something like a media clip or image, but without additional text, it's difficult to open the post (to see replies) without opening the media thing itself instead

@MrGoat Yeah, pretty much what I figured. TBH, that question was a bit troll-y 🤭 but the other reply was genuine - thinking there's no algorithm at work is either incredibly naive or plain delusional

Just got told "shut the fuck up, troll" over on bluesky when I questioned a user who said there's "no algo" over there.

Still waiting for someone to answer my question about how the site earns money.

There's some serious levels of delusion going on amongst a lot of the users over there, imo, like it's some kind of magical utopia with no financial pressures etc

But also, Tim is brilliant. Should get his own show, imo 😊

@mcfate @th3j35t3r "...and totally not a creepy bigot at all, honest"

@th3j35t3r Fire up the DeLorean ASAP!

@mcfate @th3j35t3r I'm not sure Grok is on his side...

@th3j35t3r He knows. It's gaslighting.

Anyone been watching season 6 of #Justified? I swear, there's a noticeable upturn in the amount of times Boyd Crowder goes "WHOOOO!" and it's bugging the shit out of me..
