Excellent. Still got the cd in its blister pack packaging, obviously ripped open. A genius idea. The let it down 3d sleeve is utterly beautiful also

Intriguing. Thanks for the reply!

I am curious. How does Mastodon differ to Bluesky? Is it a better platform for creatives?

Embrace the messy truth, to stand in your convictions with your eyes and heart open. Never turn away from what needs to be seen and called out. Will you join me?

Sedation dentistry is no longer weird. Phone cameras are really good. The price of solar panels has dropped by tens of thousands. Southern white rhinos, giant pandas, Arabian oryx and Stellar sea lions are no longer endangered.

And, I can testify, modern cancer treatments are fucking amazing.

Molly Knight @mollyknight.bsky.social · Sep 11

Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.

I’ll start: you can buy an enormous TV from Costco for like $100 bucks now.

New Zealand rediscovered the thought-to-be-extinct takahē and has returned it to the wild. They brought the kakapō back from near extinction and it numbers in the hundreds.

In 1987, there were 27 California Condors in the world, all captive.

In 2024, there were 566.

369 of them fly free.

We did that. We fixed it.

Yes. But its the entire system thats corrupt and broken beyond repair. The govt is the same corrupt sods every time. Replace the management, hang different coloured flags, at its core it is still the same corrupt machine. The machine needs replacing, not the bastards operating it

Albanomad Arts @albanomadarts.bsky.social · Sep 13

So the sitting PM is going to have to resign, the deputy PM has just been sacked and the Ambassador to the US is a paedophile and has also been sacked. The last govt was arguably worse. The next will be the same shit. At what point do the public stand up to have this entire corrupt system replaced?

I think hes much simpler than that. Portland top of map, LA bottom. Portland open faucet and water flow down to La

I dont think its about intelligence. Hes severely mentally ill and has been since the 80s. He utterly fried his brain with speed and combined with his stunning arrogance hes been on a rolling rant of egotistcal gibberish ever since. Its the non stop ego trip of a thoroughly insane psycopath

Albanomad Arts @albanomadarts.bsky.social · Sep 12

I genuinely believe he thinks thats how it works. He looks at the map and thinks the water flows from top to bottom. I dont think ive ever been so blown away. He is jaw droppingly insane
