Bsky please, this is a really bad idea.
people will not engage in a carousel, which will lead to most artists and visual workers having less of their work seen.
if it's absolutely essential to Instagramize this site, at least make this feature an opt-in.
ur not gonna believe who just blocked me lol
From season 4 just started and I can't stop laughing at this.
They hotglued broken glass to a car door to make it look dangerous because everyone knows car windows explode into jagged deadly shards.

A silhouette of Holmes with a magnifying glass.
At that point, I would be hugely grateful if you would consider pre-ordering the book. Pre-orders are hugely important to authors like me and help generate early interest from booksellers! There will also be SIGNED limited editions available. I'm excited to share all this with you next week! /5
A black and white photo of Joseph Bell with white hair looking down and reading a book, next to an original illustration of Holmes smoking a pipe.
My next book (October 20) is on the Victorian medical detective Joseph Bell. SLEUTH-HOUND is a whirlwind tour of Victorian forensics from the perspective of the man who loaned a voice and razor-sharp logic to Baker St.’s famous resident: Sherlock Holmes. /1
Woohoo, I made the cut!
I swear these people have humiliation fetishes.
So the Technical advisor to bsky '@why.bsky.team' is currently blocking over 300K users who openly show disdain towards AI, and I seem to have made the list! 🫡
I am begging the people that run social media sites to be normal for one second.
is it the one who complained his phone didn't work because it got too hot but he submerged it in a pool *checks and finds I'm now blocked* helllll yeahhhh
SAM NEILL GENERAL JOHN MACARTHUR If you were to commit a murder, how would you do it? It's got to be big! No slipping something into someones drink, that's just pathetic. I'd use a steamroller, just leave a stain on the road. There's probably a couple of people I'd put under a steamroller, but I won't say who they are, otherwise when they see a steamroller coming their way they'll be on full alert. And steamrollers don't go very fast...
Never forget that time Sam Neill gave a quote about murder that was so beautifully kabonkers, we all assumed it was a Clickhole bit initially
“Cruelly shape each orphan into a ball.”
We need a constitutional amendment; so the American people can remove a president, when the entire Congress is to chicken shit to do it.

Phoeo of a cute cat behind a super market toy set looking at the camera, with the silly caption of "Khajiit has wares if you have coin" which is a known The Elder Scrolls line.

I don't even *watch* football, so it's pretty easy for me normally.
(just in case you're wondering why you got the "new follower" notification -- I didn't mean to do that! sorry!)
Gah, I hit the "unfollow" button by mistake?! Yikes, sorry!
I don't share the knee-jerk anti-English sentiment that Maradona evidently did, and I can't ever see it as justifying bad behavior in sport. He was a cheater who used nationalism to justify his cheating, but that was OK because he cheated against the "right people"? Nope.
I'll be honest, the way Maradona wrapped up his blatant cheating in nationalist chest-thumping is one more reason for me to despise him.
As somebody who's not really a sports fan, I particularly can't see the appeal of an infamous and proud cheater like Diego Maradona.
(Presumably also due to legalities, Q-tip packaging says "do not insert into ear canal" despite that being the primary reason people buy them...)
Mind you, the punchline of that joke was probably made a bit less obvious by accident! Guybrush says "it looks like a giant cotton swab" when you look at it, but that's because for legal reasons they couldn't say "it looks like a giant Q-tip".
A screenshot from Monkey Island 1 EGA, showing how outside Meathook's house, the text GUI highlights inventory items in light red rather than bright magenta.
For similar reasons, in the EGA version only, highlighted inventory items appear with red text outside Meathook's house because the Hook Island sign needed an extra slot for color cycling.
The original reason for the text inventory turning red in the floppy versions was to free up some slots in the palette, so they could do color cycling with the lava in EGA!
LeChuck’s ship under Monkey Island in The Secret of #MonkeyIsland:
1. EGA: 16-colours with dithering.
2. Amiga: 32-colour hybrid using EGA assets and downsampled VGA backgrounds.
3. VGA: 256-colours.
4. CD-ROM: 256-colour VGA visuals but with the enhanced icon-based UI.
In May, we looked at Sherlock Holmes: Under the Boardwalk - planned for release in 1985 on #Apple II + #PCjr platforms. Although finished, it was never released due to Bantam Software pulling out of the market. Thanks to @hardistymark
