While the NHS is on its knees, please see these four gentlemen handing out contracts in order to make some extra cash.

Despicable.

New horrific footage shows that Israel lied through its teeth about its massacre of paramedics and rescue workers.

But still Western media outlets will keep treating Israeli lies as credible.

Accessories to genocide 👇

Trump is a fucking idiot.

Good thing America doesn't have a massive influence over the rest of us, eh? 🫠

Are there any Scottish artists out there? I have an upcoming project that is set in Scotland and I would love to work with folks from there. Need a background artist and a sprite artist. And possibly a composer. ONLY want Scottish creators at this moment in time.

When will this Baldoni/Lively Saga end? Please god. Every single thing I click on has one or both of them plastered all over it.

This feels like a PR high pressure cooker that's going to implode.

I just want to hear about something else. Anything else.

Thames Water released raw sewage into a chalk stream for more than 1,000 hours over the past 6 weeks.

Execs will get a bonus. The company wants to pay higher dividends, record hike in customer prices.

Regulators do nothing. Govt can end the scam by nationalisation, but won't.

There are possibly ways AI could be of use in certain fields - maybe medicine or science and technology. What do we use it for? Marketing taglines, ruining creative industries and creating non-consenual sex photos.

It's we. Hi. We're the problem it's we.

(By we, I mean capitalism of course)

Think we can all admit that even if you don't really like Blake Lively - you really didn't like her during that film promo.

That's cause the narrative was set and we bought it. It's how these machines work and every single one of us is susceptible to it.

We can and should do better.

There are so many reasons I adore @nicklutsko.bsky.social's music - it's funny, it's creative, it's different. The videos are so good.

Then sometimes one of his songs just kicks me in the heart. But in a good way.

Please listen and feel the feels with me ❤️

Elon Musk could have ended world hunger. Instead, he bought an app to try and make himself popular and then drove it into the ground.

He's now trying to buy governments. Why? Because he's got no one - no one likes him. He's got the perfect villain origin story if he wasn't such an embarrassment.

Billionaires have more money than they could ever need but never enough to fill the holes in their souls. They would send every last one of you into an early grave if it meant paying one cent less in taxes.

I have many issues with organised religions - no issues with people having their faith.

My biggest gripe about Christianity is that they have their main man as someone who endlessly preaches about kindness but yet allow "preachers" to convince them actually it's it about hatred of the "other".

Little disheartened that we still have to have mindless discussions about the difference between "banter" and "sexual harassment".

Don't discuss your sex life with colleagues or employees. Don't grope people.

It's not difficult or confusing. Just be respectful and if you are unsure? Just don't.

I've been thinking about this poem by Langston Hughes recently and although it was published in 1931, it remains relevant as ever.

Is anyone free to do an interview for an NBC News article about leaving Twitter for Bluesky? Looking for non-journalists who can talk briefly over the phone sometime in the next five hours! First + last name preferred, looking for a mix of people who just joined or have been here for a while!
