I don't find Mastodon annoying, but I find the people on Mastodon annoying enough to make up for it.

It now seems hilarious that the tournament was promoted (by ITV at least) as being impossible to call. It was anyone's World Cup! Welp, turns out it's going to be won by the same team that won it last time, or the time before that, or the time before that, or the time before that.

Unless you're from one of the two countries it's impossible to care about the final, and it makes it feel like a waste of time caring about the whole tournament. #RWC2023 #RWC #ENGRSA

A month of often nail-biting rugby ends with the two teams who've won it more than anyone else, including all of the last five tournaments, essentially reeling around and falling on the final. #RWC2023 #RWC #ENGRSA

And so was the whole tournament. Some of the best rugby I've ever seen only to end up with the absolute least interesting possible final. #RWC2023 #RWC #ENGRSA

people who struggle with high functioning depression deserve too be taken seriously too. just because you think they are “fine” doesn’t mean they are. “But they got out of bed and are eating and showering and being productive! their depression must not be bad!” Literally shut up

I always thought inebriated in-vision regional TV announcers were the mythical stuff of 80s alternative comedy, but no... here's one struggling to tell the time. Wait until the end (after the Queen) to hear one of the crew yell at him to "GET OFF".

This has made my day; it’s the much-missed Ian Stirling who is extremely merry, and I’ve been able to confirm with a colleague that this is HER shouting ‘GET OFF’ all those years ago. I am thankful to the person who recorded that closedown in 1987, the person who uploaded it & Dave for posting it!

With all of us coming here to Bluesky, we are all essentially hitting a big reset button.

Twitter promoted a lot of toxic unhealthy traits in the pursuit for clout thanks to its awful algorithm.

Here, those toxic fucks don't have an algorithm to push their bullshit. This is a huge chance for us.
