Proof that Bluesky has indeed inherited the spirit of Twitter
Bluesky post comparing a meme to the current atmosphere on Bluesky. Meme features raver saying ‘the club is bumping, the ladies look good, the alcohol is flowing. There is much pain in the world, but not in this room.’ Bluesky user posts link to alcohol and cancer fact sheet. The post says ‘alcohol is one of the most reasons for cancer. So: there is pain in the room’

One of my latest hobbies is burning CDs, so I absolutely had to make one for my sister. It’s full of songs we listened to when growing up and on family holidays.

(I also did a little secret voiceover message in one of the tracks and made it sound like a phone call, teehee)

Look, I know there’s a lot going on right now. But there’s a new Fire Emblem and it’s probably set in the Three Houses universe 👀

I’m doing great thanks! Taking ‘touch grass’ quite seriously right now, here’s a pic from a recent hike

Today I witnessed an interaction that was so unbelievably GTA V-coded I couldn't believe it was real life.

So it featured a guy who looked 100% like this, except he was wearing bright pink high-tops:
Michael's son Jimmy from GTA V. He has a cap, gold star chain, a baseball shirt and tattoos on his arms.

I've been reading Fahrenheit 451 recently and it's wild how that book was able to predict what's happening with social media + AI right now
"And because they had mass, they became simpler," said Beatty. "Once, books appealed to a few people, here, there, everywhere. They could afford to be different. The world was roomy. But then the world got full of eyes and elbows and mouths. Double, triple, quadruple population. Films and radios, magazines, books levelled down to a sort of paste pudding norm, do you follow me?" "I think so." Beatty peered at the smoke pattern he had put out on the air. "Picture it. Nineteenth-century man with his horses, dogs, carts, slow motion. Then, in the twentieth century, speed up your camera. Books cut shorter. Condensations, Digests. Tabloids. Everything boils down to the gag, the snap ending." "Snap ending." Mildred nodded. "Classics cut to fit fifteen-minute radio shows, then cut again to fill a two-minute book column, winding up at last as a ten- or twelve-line dictionary resume. I exaggerate, of course. The dictionaries were for reference. But many were those whose sole knowledge of Hamlet (you know the title certainly, Montag; it is probably only a faint rumor of a title to you, Mrs. Montag) whose sole knowledge, as I say, of Hamlet was a one-page digest in a book that claimed: now at least you can read all the classics; keep up with your neighbors. Do you see? Out of the nursery into the college and back to the nursery; there's your intellectual pattern for the past five centuries or more." Mildred arose and began to move around the room, picking things up and putting them down. Beatty ignored her and continued "Speed up the film, Montag, quick. Click? Pic, Look, Eye, Now, Flick, Here, There, Swift, Pace, Up, Down, In, Out, Why, How, Who, What, Where, Eh? Uh! Bang! Smack! Wallop, Bing, Bong, Boom! Digest-digests, digest-digest-digests. Politics? One column, two sentences, a headline! Then, in mid-air, all vanishes! Whirl man's mind around about so fast under the pumping hands of publishers, exploiters, broadcasters, that the centrifuge flings off all unnecessary, time-…

Life announcement from me - I'm living in Canada now.

(For the winter, at least.)

I've always wanted to do a ski season in Canada, and it's finally happening. I'll be at Kicking Horse Resort this winter exploring friendly areas such as 'Terminator Peak', 'Terminator 2 Peak' and 'CPR Ridge'. Yay!

I went onto the website for Off The Grid and they've absolutely buried any mention of NFTs. The only place I could find it was in the FAQs, where they insist it's entirely optional. Always a good sign when you're having to distance your game from one of its own features, rofl
I heard off the grid is an NFT game. Is that true? Off The Grid is not an NFT game. It's a battle royale game with an optional NFT element. If you want to try out NFTs, you can; if you don't want to, you don't have to. It's entirely up to the player how they want to pay the game, and the game is playable without dipping into NFTs.
