The survivors, brought to their senses by the disaster, gave chase to the woman: she, laughing in mockery, changed herself into a wren and flew away.

Good morning world! Time to log onto BlueSky and see what normal content people are posting about today: but not before I take a big sip of delicious coffee!

Nonsensical racism.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

In all seriousness, we haven’t seen a single serious cryptanalysis result since July 28. Not even one little broken cipher that nobody cares about. What’s more plausible: that all cryptanalysis work in the last 90 days has turned up nothing, or cryptanalysis results are being deliberately withheld?

It is really fascinating how much Trump's second victory has very much not led to a wave of far-right victories across the world (though it's been pretty fucking close in some places).

There are a lot of people who treated 2024 as if it heralded a new era rather than in some ways being the high tide mark.

This is one of the larger left-of-center Facebook pages, and I do feel like a few years ago, left-of-center people on social media with large audiences were not using terms like “goyslop”?

The next Bond movie should be set in Ukraine and Putinists should be the villains.

Martin Concagh@mconcagh.bsky.social

All the discourse about James Bond being a hopelessly outdated relic of the Cold War has to contend with the fact that the best James Bond film was released in 1995.

Tasmania is beautiful, though given the dark history here, the genocide enacted on the Aboriginal population, it's hard for that beauty not to always be touched by that history.

The "numbers" era of the Alt National Park Service (from roughly Feb. - Aug. 2025) was easily the funniest, but also the saddest; I was watching thousands and thousands of people get drawn in by spy-movie nonsense in real time.

"Menty B", which I'm certain YouGov have just made up, sounds like a rapper. So maybe Kanye West.

Recently we have started hosting a fortnightly RPG game at our house. It's a secular occasion but it happens on Fridays so we also celebrate Shabbat in the company of our guests, and we're trying to always have that mean there's a meal before the game. It's early doors yet but it feels real good.

Pay your taxes.

Politico@politico.com

“I’m old. I’ve paid my home off,” said Ray Warner, a 72-year-old Akron resident. “Why would I pay property tax?” Across the country, homeowners are asking the same question and revolting against property taxes at a scale not seen in a half century.

politico.comDo You Really Own Your Home? A Tax Revolt Says No.The argument that property taxes make Americans renters in their own houses has fueled the biggest anti-tax uprising in half a century, and local governments are scrambling.

The NHS knows that its new policy is going to harm patients, and it's doing it anyway. It is an active choice being made by this Labour government – don't let them pretend their hands are bound.

Wow this is good politician stuff. Just always nice to see a progressive candidate who has a clear understanding of how to communicate like this. And this is the form of American civil ethos I do very much admire, the Constitution as a concept.

Does sort of feel like eventually they're going to ban all porn that's not missionary with the lights on. I'm very much not into this stuff, but I think at the stage you're banning people pretending they're doing incest you're getting abstract with it.

the repeated framing of this as "supportive" alongside the importance of "maintaining a culture of respect and dignity" whilst referring to me as a man throughout is the thing that deranges me the most. we can't call you the t-slur so we've had to invent a new b-slur. such respect wow.
