Yes, Swiss scientist Fritz Zwicky coined the term “dark matter” which is impressive, but he also coined the term “spherical bastard” to describe people who are bastards no matter which way you look at them, and I think that should be celebrated more.

How the fuck is the geometry in this cartoon working?
Their ‘anti-AI’ cartoon looks suspiciously slop-like?!
I think I’m just going to lie down in a dark room somewhere…
hated landlords until I became one - tenants are just ungrateful Rhiannon Picton-James
I hated serial killers until I got that first rush of my hands squeezing tighter and tighter around a helpless delicate neck

A picture from the Bristol balloon festival. I am unable to name the photographer.
Your sort of thing @swansonian.bsky.social ?
As a sys admin on niche finance platforms for ~30 yrs; to have some gormless NFT gimp declare I’m somehow irrelevant is a sure fire way to piss me off 🤷🏻♂️
Also, ‘write a prompt to compose an email’ is fucking daft - why would I not just *compose the fucking email*? WHERE’S THE EFFICIENCY IN THAT?!
The unskippable adverts and general shitty behaviour means I have a Prime sub (Football) but download everything else (The Boys, etc) from ‘elsewhere’
I’d kill it if it wasn’t for football distribution being more fragmented than ever
I actively avoid buying anything on Amazon nowadays
It's cool that when you pause a show on Amazon your entire telly becomes a huge gambling advert. That's a really cool thing.
Ouch dude 😂
MAGA indirectly funding Indian medical school students is perfect
(He’s clearly right - just hilarious that they quoted him directly)

Donald Trump's military blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has suffered a major blow as dozens of Iranian vessels are said to have slipped past US surveillance.
a wizard (why’s pfp), a skeleton minion (Claude) approached “i’ve read through your notifications, they wish to harm you m’lord” close up on the wizard “oh dear… block them all.” the skeleton minion crawls away “yes m’lord, Claude shall block the non-believers, yes…”
Two ads *every 4 minutes*
Haha
Ahahahahaha what do you mean the TECHNICAL ADVISOR to Bluesky just blocked over 300k users by following an ANTI-AI, AI HATERS blocklist.
Embarassing.
I’m less bothered with the ‘how’, I just hope it’s televised - it’d be the gif to end all gifs
As it's 10 years since Prince died (and the world went to hell), please enjoy this pic of Ed Miliband photoshopped into the Lovesexy album cover
Worried all this Peter Mandelson business is going to distract from whatever the hell Keir Starmer's policy agenda is, and could undermine confidence in him with his supporter.
proper old school service
I think I’m suffering from ‘Long “Sir Beer Korma”’ - the press have been angling for such a long time I just don’t really give a shit anymore
Everyone knew Mandelson was a wrong ‘un, everybody knows Starmer isn’t a great politician. Everything about it is rather dull
say cheese!
After 3 you can’t even buy a ‘standard’ car anymore - why anyone would do that is beyond me
Weirdos
6.7m sounds big - until you realise Apple ships 247m of them in 2025 alone
6.7m is <3% of their annual customer base - which is a piss poor adoption rate considering they’re shoehorning AI into everything from kids toys to the toaster
horseshoe theory is real. leftists almost got kat abughazaleh elected into congress and now it comes out that her boyfriend owns infowars…
Yeah, it’s shit - but this is the organisation that spent all last week blasting, “are asylum seekers lying about their sexuality to abuse asylum law?”
They dropped the non-partisan schtick quite a while ago
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
The dog isn’t allowed balls in the house, so there’s no ‘chewing for hours’ as mentioned in this article
I’d assume any ‘chewing for hours’ would have the same impact - it’s not exclusively tennis balls?
We all have days like this
