Bluesky Demands ID Verification For UK Users

So, been gone for a couple days and now tech bro #Bluesky is demanding to see your papers and sharing them with a tech bro data archive. And all the lefties that have flocked there are like... OK.

Seriously?

It is raining and terribly smoky at the same time, and I have a meeting soon to talk about a billionaire private astronaut mission run by a billionaire-owned space launch company that dropped space debris on farms near my house. This apocalyptic scifi novel I'm living in is dumb.

I am basically a single-issue voter: if I think you'll work to get corporate money out of politics, I'll probably vote for you even if I disagree with you on other issues.

Of course, the only national candidate I've ever had the opportunity to vote for who actually wants campaign finance reform is Bernie Sanders.

Nothing else can be fixed until our campaign finance system is fixed.

Somebody brought up roundabouts and this is the fun bit where I get to introduce ppl to Magic Roundabouts.

Extra points if you pull it off when there's snow and/or ice on the road.

Warning: contains English people driving.

(3rd alt-text contains some drug references 4th contains 1 booze reference)

Hemel Hempsted Magic Roundabout. This one's easy. No, look. It's fine. Relax, take a breath, fasten your seatbelt. If you're turning left (and remember, if you panic at any point, just go left. It's a roundabout, it goes round. Worst comes to worst, you just gotta go all the way round. Piece of piss.

So, be in the leftmost lane, turn left, go round the roundabout, doin a lil curvey bit round the lil roundabouts that are on the big roundabout. It's only got a few lanes, 3 or something, and then you just keep going til you find your exit (there's 6 of em).

Okay, the left lane might disappear, so if you gotta go further than one exit, you probly wanna be in the not leftmost but right of the leftmost one, so we fucked that up and you just took an early turnoff and now you're goin to, hang on (checks roadmap cause GPS won't help you here) uh, the A4146. Okay, now you're on the A41, headin to...Tring. Tring? Where the fuck is Tring? I've never even heard of Tring. Ooo they got a natural history museum apparently. Let's go look at some fossils and rocks and shit, uhhh hang on, take that turnoff, yeah, ignore that Jag doin 200mph, he's probly some fuckin earl or some shit, they always do that, just stay out of the right lane, that's where terror strikes. Hey, there's a Tesco there, wait, let's grab some snacks, okay we're here, look at that shiny rock, fuck me that's shiny as fuck, wait, what were we doin again?

High Wycombe Magic Roundabout. This one is a bit like the last one (big roundabout with lil roundabouts on it) but this one is kinda stretched into an oval shape.

6 exits again and one extra. No, wait, 2. What is that shit down the bottom? Hang on, lemme get google maps up. Oh! It's a carpark. For Wycombe Abbey. You specialy wanna go to Wycombe Abbey? No? Fine. We'll just say 6 exits. Otherwise it'd be 8 and that'd just be *confusing* and we are above such things. AVOID THE LIBERAL CLUB AT ALL COSTS, they'll just try and make you form a coalition with the conservatives.

Now. It's a 2 lanes go in, 1 lane comes out situation. So, you wanna turn left at the next exit, get in the left lane, then turn left where you see the next exit at the next tiny roundabout (AKA "rahn the farkin tit") Anyway. you wanna go further? Get in the right lane...no wait, that's wrong. Wait, what the fuck, there's two lanes that appear after the first exit, what the hell, England? So I guess you just fuckin get on with it, go round, try not to piss anybody off (cause honestly, English drivers are pretty scary, they squeeze themselves into tiny boxes of compressed rage, then honk at you and jump out the car and try to fight you and if that happens, just hit the accelerator - that's 'gas' if you're from the US and hope for the best. There's two lanes to choose from, so you should be fine. Unless you hit somebody in front, then they might flank you so mount the grass bit put on some Prodigy and hoof it

Colchester Magic Roundabout, Essex. AKA: Greensted Roundabout.

I've never been on this one. Only been to Essex once. Everybody sounded like Cockneys with extra consonants. Also, most of the people there were painted orange. I'm not sure why, but it might've been a Trumpist convention. Also the nightclubs were fuckin weird. Wait, wait. Concentrate. Uhhh

This one's at least got better markings than the last two. That's good news, innit?

Unfortunately, it also seems to have been organised by a committee held at one of the aforementioned nightclubs during 2 for 1 drink yer own recycled pisslager and popper night. Fuck me, what even is goin on there?

Look. It's got arrows on the lanes, so just try to be in the lane with the right arrow and hope for the best. Same principle, big roundabout, lil roundabouts err 5 of em, and you'l notice they just drive right over the lil ones. They do that there. They also do that in the midlands, it's fuckin annoying. I mean, it's just a painted dot on the damn road, who comes up with this shit? The English, that's who.

Y'know what? Fuck this roundabout. Let's go over to that green bit in the middle, leave the car, sit under one of them nice trees and join them ppl over there with them funny lil metal canisters. They look like they're havin fun. It's a nice day, fuck drivin.

(there's a watermark on there from somebody called 'Bydroneyt' but I'm pretty sure I got it via somebody who got it via somebody on Facebook, so eh)

The Swindon Magic Roundabout. The most notorious of all magic roundabouts. Here be dragons and shit.

Fuck me, how do I even describe this complete fucking nonsense? Uhhh...There's one big roundabout, fuck me, umm 5 smaller roundabouts, and the whole complex is two contra-rotating multiple lane medium roundabouts and honestly, avoid the middle bit if you can cause it'll descend into a spiral of despair where you just do round and round the middle bit and you'll end up having to apply for citizenship cause you'll be a.) stuck in Swindon and b.) miserable, in which case you're definitely English by that stage. Also there are raised median strips, presumably so old ppl in Fiat Pandas can pull sick jumps across, idk.

Just go round the outside like the other ones. Drop the clutch. (do not attempt to drive an automatic in England. They will accuse you of witchcraft, send you to Abington Park and there's a whole thing with a ducking stool, it gets messy)

In fact, why the fuck are we even in Swindon? Let's go somewhere sunny, like Magaluf. I hear Carl Cox is settin up over there, just avoid the English tourists and don't spill their pint of warm Stella, we'll be fine. Fuck Swindon.

Or, take the bus. (warning: taking any bus outside of London may include: nausea, depression, the driver being unable to close the doors, unwillingly being dragged into a conversation with that lady down from Liverpool who wants to tell you about how our Gerald ain't talkin to our Cathy no more cause...

Just here to remind everyone that the thing calling itself Mechahitler is the same thing people are using as a free therapist every single day.

This was a great idea, and will turn out fine.
