Just cooked for 13 people. That was quite a shift. My cornbread was disappointing but my pumpkin pie was 🔥

Listening to Bricknasty's Blacks Law album again. It's properly bonkers. Woozy funk neo soul housey madness from... Dublin. It really is a beautiful fucked up Irish stew. youtu.be/2FSRb2M-CDY?...

Good shout here for the ai slop emoji. I still think 🪣 has an effective simplicity.

What's the emoji for AI slop? 🪣

This is an unspooling thread of total joy. A slug of forgotten comedy history.

The brilliant female clowns of silent cinema. This might be the most ALIVE thing you’ll see all day.
Since we are once again dealing with "the only silent era comedians of note were men" I feel I need to stand up for the ladies.

This is all bad enough that I expect Olivia Nuzzi to leave Vanity Fair and take a job as co-head of CBS News

Good morning to Brazilian reporter Manuela Borges, who’s been waiting eleven years for this petty moment. ❤️ 🇧🇷

Just spent 45 minutes trying to reschedule a British Gas smart meter appointment. The CEO made £4M in 2024 and £8M the previous year. My time meanwhile is worth nothing.

I should probably change to another supplier.

It's easy to weed out the bad stuff. It's easy to have curated feeds and there are some great communities on here.

And they tend to be not/less disrupted/derailed by bad stuff than on the other place.

Some of the music-related communities on here are top-tier. #raveyardshift being a fine example!

I think I am starting to like Bluesky. It has massive fucking flaws obviously - hello mods! - but I appear to have hit a baseline of feeds and engagement that makes me feel occasionally delighted, sometimes smarter, and kind of like I belong. Not the bacchanal of the early days, but a steady hum.

So much "oof" in this article.
This is an insightful but deeply upsetting article about why everyone in the US feels poor, and why the current political situation emerges as a direct result.

It produces a performative ecosystem. Actors aren’t communicating; they’re staging provocations for yield. The result is disordered discourse: signals detached from truth, identity shaped by escalation, and a feedback loop where the performance eclipses reality itself.

"But what’s not fine is the deafening roar of shit that is now being generated at orders of magnitude greater than ever before." - good post here.

Unfortunately, similarly generated slop, propaganda adjacent slop, slop designed to outrage, is finding its way into mainstream newspapers.
