I still have the phrase "mentally stabbed" bouncing around in my head from that weird 10-leader debate. He seems awkard, impatient, defensive, dismissive

Hi BlueSky,
I figured it's just about time I introduce this whole new platform to the most scary Santa picture that was ever taken.
This was in Derry (Northern Ireland) in around 1981 - so at the height of the Troubles.
Please note, Santa has a cigarette in his hand.

The more this place reminds me of why I liked social media so much the more I realise that I stopped doing so a long time ago. It’s extraordinary what happened. The volume & violence of posts from accounts you had never shown the slightest interest in just exploded. It *must* have been deliberate.

Now that we’re here, and the angry people are on X and the dancing people are on insta, and we’re all finding a place; wouldn’t it be nice if there was a peaceful garden somewhere, just for the sexy lady bot accounts, where they could finally rest.
