Should we all just leave every social media platform? Acceptable answers are “Yes”, “Of course”, “Definitely” and 💯.

Sorry I didn’t see these, got out of touch with Bluesky. Good suggestions!

“You know” now rivals “Um” as a verbal tic. Plus, podcast AI editing filters don’t cut it out. Y’know?

Is this man well?

One week apart

It is truly weird watching a tv broadcast of fireworks full of people filming the fireworks on their smartphones. We have become a species that mediates every real-life experience through a tiny screen. #sydnye

The Hay plain, where 702km from Sydney you can still get 702 AM…

Why do customers have to pay credit card surcharges when it’s far better for businesses not to have to handle large amounts of cash? 🤔

X’s “For you” tab should be renamed the “From Elon” tab. No algorithm seems to be involved, just a live stream of the flotsam tossed around by an increasingly troubled mind.

Damn - and that’s a better version of the pun, too!

Elon admits that any post on X with a link is throttled

He advises you to upload content directly to X instead, where he can monetize it

Musk is the richest person in the world and his view is everyone should work for him for free

That’s exactly what Tom Ballard would do as a decoy if he was in TISM.

PS how can one join TISM?

PPS would you like to start a TISM cover band called ISNTISM?

No way, he’s fit as a fiddle, never been better, Jack! Reminds me of a guy I used to know as a boy in Scranton, Pennsylvania. Healthy Harry, we used to call him. Kid never missed a day of work at the gramophone factory.

It’s probably the whole point of the post. Which I missed. Darn boat.

The Man in Black as a Man in Black

What’s the solution? Keen to know!

Can people who act like 3 year olds on social media also get banned? Asking for Elon

Joe Biden? Unless he’s the candidate in 2028 of course

Congrats, Ben! I recently started working for HC too, and they have been great to deal with so far.

If you’re in Sydney this week, @charlesfirth.bsky.social and I are launching each other’s books / recording an episode of our scurrilous @chaserwar.bsky.social podcast at Gleebooks on Wednesday evening. Should be fun! gleebooks.com.au/event/charles-…

US Teslas are made onshore – Musk would welcome the tariffs so BYD et al can’t undercut him. Musk getting too big for his boots is already becoming an issue through according to some reports! www.tesla.com/giga-texas

so many ppl have left twitter they should call it ex

It is so good

90 days ago Bluesky had 6.18M users

Tomorrow Bluesky will have 15M users

This is absolutely wild, thanks for believing in us y'all

Wow this site is really going off. It’s almost as though the Old Place has become polluted by one guy’s hyper-narcissism or something…

Had for lunch and omg

What an incredible gift Elon has for terrible ideas

So good to be somewhere that looks like Twitter, but isn’t! I hope Elon never finds out about this place.
