there's so much bad in the world but there's also people who lift up and carry an elderly bat around every day so he can pretend he's flying again, and that's the part of the world I think is worth fighting for

Spain’s PM “They say Spain is alone.”

“But they’re the same people who said that when we recognized the State of Palestine and then many followed.”

“We are not alone. We are the first of many.”

One weakness Bluesky has compared to Threads is that we simply don’t have as many massive idiots making stupid posts generating screenshot-worthy replies

You couldn't make this up

Putin is supporting Iran with intelligence in the war

Yet Trump is considering unsanctioning more Russian oil according to Bessent

A clueless US Administration, in way over its head

Not all evangelicals have these apocalyptic zionist beliefs of course - but lots do. Really amazing to see the support for Trump among my parents’ friends.

I hate to worry you but these lunatic beliefs are probably far more widespread than you suspect, even in Europe. I grew up amongst evangelicals and heard this shit allllll the time.

'It takes more then a piece of paper to make someone British' well yes it does. It takes years and years, lengthty piss taking application forms, a test, qualifications, employment and £££££££. What did Goodwin do other than be born here?

Russia will bomb more Ukrainian apartment buildings, the war will last longer, and your own negotiation process will be even more useless because of this.

I get irrationally cross when a “digital native” calls me a “digital immigrant”; I could code at 11, saved up for my first computer when I was 13, and could edit your config.sys and autoexec.bat to mess up your day from the start.

No drama! I just don’t have the bandwidth for it these days! I must drop back in.

Insult, outrage, injury laid down generation upon generation like sedimentary layers. Where do they think that simmering anger goes? Eventually it must resurface, black as coal, hard as diamond.

Do you remember those machines we had in the computer lab? We punched in records from death certificates for local history with Ken Keysell during Thursday Afternoon Activities instead of CCF. 💪

I’ve had the same username for three decades. I was otto on late 90s IRC. When the name wasn’t available on early gaming forums, I became ottocrat. I was there before gamergate, before 4chan, slapping down snotty nosed bullies before they ran the world, and I’ll be doing it still from my deathbed.

My ICQ UIN is 7231680. That number is burned into my consciousness. I inadvertently learned that you could see private conversations in public chat rooms when using Telnet instead of a browser on GeoCities. I can tell you the difference in audible dial-up handshakes between 1200, 2400, 14.4 kbps modems. I needed a edu email address to join Facebook after my university was admitted. We were here at the beginning. We made social media. You wouldn't be in my Top 8. I have usernames older than you.
