Probably know an obscure fact or two about classic films.

So far, so good—I’m rather impressed. Not too shabby, Bluesky.

Set your timer to 16 years from now. It took Twitter 16 years to f*** up a good thing. If Bluesky can survive making that same mistake in that time frame, then hallelujah!
Today, America lays to rest former President Jimmy Carter. A man who lived a life of decency, drive, compassion, simplicity, and great faith. He was not perfect, but he truly was unique in our nation’s history.

Farewell and God bless, Mr. President.

Obscure #WaybackWednesday time.

While scrubbing a massive Russet potato for dinner 3 years ago, by chance I turned it upside-down then had a realization. I quickly grabbed my phone, capturing an iconic (in my mind) image.

Star Wars’s Admiral Ackbar as a potato. And the Admiral tasted delicious! 🤓😋

I wonder what my actions say about me when this is the first post I ever liked here on Bluesky, @susiedent.bsky.social… 😂
Word of the day is ‘catchfart’, from the 17th century, used of a servant who followed their master or mistress a little too closely.
In today’s terms, a catchfart is someone who fawns upon the boss or who follows the political wind.

Still one of the best photos I’ve ever taken, and no editing was ever required.

Good, thanks for no spoilers @gregjenner.bsky.social. The Series 18 finale doesn’t air here in the States until tomorrow afternoon, so it’ll be a treat.

Though my prediction for the winner: it’ll obviously be @baddiel.bsky.social 😂
Such a fantastic series of Taskmaster - incredibly close competition from ep1 to the final. Huge congrats to the incredibly funny winner (I won’t spoil it)

That’s right! I forgot about The Fail Whale. @bsky.app engineers, get on this 👇
I think the Bluesky version of the "fail whale" should be called "The Sputterfly"
twitter used to fail whale all the time in the early years

Bluesky having an outage this morning is bringing back fond & refreshing memories of the early days of that other place. How quaint!

Treading carefully into this Bluesky environment with cautious optimism, baby steps, and some other phrase contrasting happy-go-lucky with impending doom 🙃
