I've been saying bluesky is speed-running all the problems twitter made for themselves alongside new, bespoke ones, for a while now.

I think we can safely say that the site has hit 2016 in the timeline.

Wow so the royal family absolutely has new information on Prince Andrew, right.

It's not like they protected a heinous predator for *decades* knowing full well what he'd done, and are only changing their minds at the last minute to minimise problems with public opinion.

I wince every time I see people yelling about Luxon being a 'cuckold' or 'weak' or dunking on him for looking particular ways.

Particular when he can be SO EASILY targeted for being a grotesque prosperity-gospel mongering reptilian christofascist fucksock.

(The tailoring though? Valid target.)

PERFECTION - I came here to make a crack with the same punchline.

Delighted someone else got there first, and yours is better anyway.

Whenever I see people complaining about Te Tiriti online, this is who I see in my head.

The upside with these ones is that they're very reusable.

I've been doing this for years, and one of these masks lasts six months or so?
