Pouring one out for a great show and an amazing cast full of memorable moments. I don’t really post memes on bsky but.. I made this one so I’m giving myself a pass just the once

Tanya posted 2 hrs ago claiming to be impersonated on social media. Incredibly convenient timing for an impersonator to show up huh

Update, a person I trust has been given these screenshots , showing that there is good reason to believe a dodgy Facebook account exists. I cannot confirm fully whether the behaviour above is from the clearly dodgy repurposed Fb account or from the other fb account. Best treat as uncertain for now

Greatest phone call scene

Ah I may have mixed up, I was replying to this comment: (Now I wonder if u maybe have the person I was replying to blocked for example)

Happy Pride! Every single person is valid! Support LGBT+ people in your life. Fucking dismantle any systems that treat LGBT+ like they are worth less than anyone else

Trump (illegally, it turns out) inflated his wealth to banks to defraud them, but the E. Jean Carroll jury used the inflated wealth numbers in deciding how much Trump could afford to pay. And I think that’s neat :)

That’s fascinating. It makes me wonder if that’s the natural pattern of flow inside a reverse sprinkler, then surely a forward sprinkler can be made more efficient by designing the internals like this:

Drop something orange from your gallery and share

You've been kidnapped. The characters from the last tv show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who is coming to save you?

Oh dear.

I’m an extremely honest thinker who isn’t beholden to anyone and has a lot of hands-on life experience at a quirkily wide array of activities.

Are you the right person to ask about the idea behind these two ads that I am losing my mind over?

I think I need a good drink after that..

He needs one of these.

Will Ethical Altruism techbros learn from being told how useful their ‘useful idiocy’ is? Or instead propose & immediately adopt a new moral rule on why being a stooge for hypercapitalist fraud is actually “good”, then bestow it some incredibly stupid name, like “Roko’s First Shibboleth”

Are you saying that everyday life in early 1980s NZ was brimming with latent homoeroticism? I just can’t see any evidence

Remember that weirdo obsession muskboi had for years about “the birthrate” being in “crisis”? scientists calling bs? Funny stuff. Anyway what elon meant will be instantly recognisable if you realise he was doing the ol’ white supremacist/birthrate-falling/foreigners taking over conspiracism.

Let us never forget elon got told the story of how to make himself a hero by deranged incel Ian Miles Cheong. I don’t think enough people recognise that this is going to just keep on happening.
