I've been enjoying Cocteau Twins' music for about 20 years and only just realised they're not speaking Scots Gaelic 😅 almost every song is glossolalia ("speaking tongues") and somehow I didn't figure it out, LOL.

The Ukrainian ambassador now just has her head in her hands in the Oval Office.

on this week's aftermath hours, the industry's obsession with fewer, bigger games and franchises – as exemplified by WB's post-wonder woman pivot – is a dead end

Had a great time at @knotfestofficial.bsky.social Melbourne yesterday.
I met cool people, saw amazing bands & nobody gave two shits seeing a trans guy in just a binder.
Shout out to Alex (Slaughter to Prevail) and Corey (Slipknot) for both pausing their sets to help people get out of the mosh pit.

The National Weather Service is THE ONLY source of weather data in the US. Every weather app, local broadcaster, and weather forecast map is based on NWS data from NOAA. This is a ridiculously stupid own goal for the US that will disrupt all kinds of social and economic activity, and endanger lives.
BREAKING: The mass firing of upwards of 1,800 workers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, including top climate scientists and weather forecasters, has begun.
The firings reportedly include workers at the National Weather Service.

Finally.
A major media outlet has finally reported on Trump’s total travel ban for transgender visa applicants seeking the United States.
I had to scream for two days to get someone else to report on it.
It is NOT just for athletes.

This is an astonishing story. Trump's personal lawyers, now in government, are trying to find any prosecutor take on a case to stop payment of $20 billion in funds by claiming there is fraud. The fact that career prosecutors are resigning rather than do so tells you how weak the case is.

I took a look at the curious array of third party groups springing up ahead of the election--focused on the Greens, Teals & Labor. One is linked to a group that's hosting a volunteer event with Advance tonight. Do get in touch if you spot more as they emerge... www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Genuine question: is there a social script for how to interact on Bluesky?
I see people say things like "I hate reply guys". Don't people want replies? Or just likes/shares?
Atm, I browse topics I'm interested in & try to interact positively with people's posts, but is that a faux pas?
