It has been far too long since we last had a Scary Movie...and this looks incredible. https://youtu.be/0fZ58S-7QP0

I seriously thought this was a joke.

They're going to stop doing Presidential approval ratings because Trump is so unpopular.

So, Copenhagen is back to dark mode but I like to remember that for a brief moment my walk to work looked like this ❄️

All other social media platforms feel like I'm zapping through teleshopping channels.

Mastodon is like finding the button that turns on interdimensional cable.

If you're in the market for a new car and have a spare £550,000 (NOT A TYPO), might I suggest the Overfinch Holland & Holland Edition Range Rover? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hgj5gPD01WQ

@bigzaphod Count yourself lucky you didn’t go what I went through a good few years ago… I had 4 wisdom teeth removed in one go. The worst part was one of them was a CHALLENGE to get out and I could hear the tooth being wriggled back and forth for what felt like forever to try and remove it. Still…that wasn’t the worst part. It was in preparation for upper and lower jaw surgery to fix a somewhat severe overbite I had. Now THAT was bad…

End result was good though. But…yikes.

@trovster I wish I’d kept my tickets…I always threw them away afterwards. 😓

Americans will do anything to avoid using the metric system

Since we here in the USA don’t know the #metric system, we need to learn more units for this weekend

Aaron Sorkin's 'The Newsroom' was ahead of its time.

"We aspired to intelligence, we didn't belittle it. It didn't make us feel inferior. We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election and we didn't scare so easy. We were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed... by great men, men who were revered. First step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one. America is not the greatest country in the world anymore."

"We stood up for what was right. We fought for moral reasons. We passed laws, struck down laws - for moral reasons. We waged wars on poverty, not on poor people. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were & we never beat our chest. We built great, big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases and we cultivated the world's greatest artists AND the world's greatest economy. We reached for the stars, acted like men."

As with others, I will shortly be deactivating my Bridgy bridge with Bluesky (@bsky.brid.gy)

I don’t support sites that support facism and nazis and Bluesky’s recent actions have proven they’re absolutely fine with that. If you want to follow me, you can follow me on the Fediverse (it’s nice here, everyone is friendly).

Head's up, if you want to disconnect the bridge to Bluesky, here are the instructions. I exercised this option today, as a result of them "blue checking" ICE. I'd never allow Federation of an ActivityPub instance with Nazis on it, and Bluesky is no exception. #Bluesky
