Welcome to Bluesky: Weird Al is on here but you sometimes don’t immediately get told that. That’s most of the important information.

POV: You walk into the room of the average Republican party member

A still from the netflix cartoon "big Mouth", in which we see a young male character talking to a "Shame wizard" character; they are standing in front of the "shame wizard"'s collection of Nazi dildos. There's a dildo painted like hitler, one four way dildo shaped like a swastika and a dildo that looks like a soldier with a hat. In the show's context, it is irrelevant to the story; they just wanted to make a nazi dildo joke.

every day there is a new story about how a prominent Republican has a shrine to Hitler in their office, but we can’t call them nazis

There's a new wave of sign ups for the site? Welcome to Bluesky!

We don't like the site runners either, but at least they're not full on nazis... as far as we know

Also, they're called "Skeets" and popularity doesn't matter; what matters is blocking Jesse Singal and telling BS Jay she sucks.

if Nirvana is "so good" and such a "classic" and "iconic"; how come they never used a Yamaha SHS-10 keytar in any of their songs?

I just got pushed a 2 hour video on why "The Music industry secretly worships Baal", which is hilarious in concept but fuck that in practice.

Also, Blood for Baal!

A screenshot of The Simpsons dressed as Pagans and worshiping a version of Baal, in which it's a human head on a winged lion's body on a bonfire.

Just got a call from a lovely but very nervous Dr, who advised I wouldn't be routinely screened for breast cancer because I'm not indicated as being "biologically female" on the central NHS database and my biology wouldn't indicate I'm at risk.

My records have been altered, which is upsetting.

This will poison our thoughts, weaken our minds, dry our rivers and pollute our airs; and I am so not fucking exaggerating and I am so fucking tired of it.

A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

In losing my animation job and pivoting to another career, I have lost 91% of my gross income. Went from feeling like I was thriving for the first time since moving out of my parents’ to being back under the poverty line. It’s really, really rough out here

This is not a call for pity but more to put into perspective how 2025 has been impacting a lot of artists:

Between losses of sales, wholesale, tariffs, and fewer corporate clients, I have lost 50% of my gross income this year as a full-time graphic designer and artist.

This is a huge story but massively under the radar in the UK.

A US Christian legal org called the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) is working to roll back abortion rights here using the same playbook it used in the US: briefing politicians, watching, waiting.
