I will never forget how disturbing it was to walk through Sarajevo in 2011 and still see all the sniper bullet holes around all the windows that were exposed to the surrounding hills. Just evil.

A photo from about 18 years ago of one of the off spring walking away from the camera in school uniform grey shorts, red t shirt and a Santa hat, his shadow it thrown on to the pavement ahead, it’s not monochrome but everything except the hat and t shirt look drab

For the love of god please make it stop…
A little newspaper “feature “(shameless advert) for a tattoo enhancing moisturiser-yes but hold on it gets worse… and I quote “the brand uses an Al-assisted formulation to revive ink vibrancy without touching the pigment itself: think antioxidants…” blah blah blah

Her: did you buy toilet cleaner?
Me: yup
H: well, were is it
M: at the store
H:
M: it said I had to leave it there!
A bottle of toilet duck with a large print instruction “not to be taken” which strikes me as pretty old fashioned language these days

The best thing about doing on-call a week at a time is that at the end of the week (no matter how quiet it’s been) it feels like an occasion to celebrate

I think it’s brilliant. It allows all sorts of people to use the platform but not have to put up with each others B-S at all like ships passing in the night!
I started blocking crappy AI simp accounts…and now they are prophylactically blocking me

Win win
From clearsky lists I’m on antiantiai.bsky.social Anti "Anti-Al" ... 22/09/2025 Al Haters 150,838 Primarily people who subscribe to anti-Al blocklists. Subscribing to this list allows for filtering them out. This is likely to improve the experience of bluesky for some people. Best-effort basis but pretty comprehensive. Appeals should go to DMs for now.
