I keep the birthdays of old Doctor Who actors memorised so I don't panic if I see them trend on that day.

@secondmentions.bsky.social “the short-fingered vulgarian” is some top-tier work by Mark Hamill.
Trumplethinskin can dish it out, but just can't take it.

Because someone called him a "Pedophile Protector", the short-fingered vulgarian flipped the tiniest bird imaginable. 😂

ICE is a bad acronym for an organisation as it’s already a common word. Why not Service for Tracking And Scrutinising Immigrants (STASI for short).

The Verge’s senior smart phone reviewer, @allisonjo1.bsky.social, finally got hands-on with the Samsung Z Trifold. Turns out another hinge is a really big deal.

If you’re in the mood to detain global wrong ‘uns, people with an ICC warrant out for their arrest include Vladimir Putin and Benjamin Netanyahu.

Was just about to post exactly the same thing: 11 arrested- three on manslaughter charges, 8 on related charges. In comparison, a report recently said nobody here will be charged till 2026.

Irony: People saying the BBC is biased towards the left when a big part of why they’ve all been radicalised to vote Tory and Reform is BECAUSE of (yes you guessed it) the BBC’s right wing bias.

Couldn’t make it up.

Whoever wrote this, you are a visionary.
All social media should come with a 'no politics or culture wars' toggle, so it just shows you benign chatter like what's on TV and GIFs of cats.

“reader interest in stories they’re never told is low”

See that’s the difference between influencing and journalism
Following the trend/bringing the story to attention
“The sad truth is that reader interest in African stories is very low; whereas in Israel and Gaza it is high. Data analysis allows media outlets to count these views and clicks very carefully — and take them into account when deciding whether to commission expensive foreign assignments.”
This is a really good piece from @joshglancy.bsky.social. Far from “whataboutery“, it’s a genuine attempt to to wrestle with a disturbing and peculiar feature of contemporary politics, namely “why is the world quite so obsessed with Israel and Palestine?” www.jewishnews.co.uk/the-world-wa...
