I obviously spend too much time on here as I watched the Coyote vs. Acme trailer and thought "wait, is Foghorn Leghorn in the Epstein Files?"
Iran going after Bsky is a genuinely funny waste of resources.

this race-bending the new musketeers thing is taking it way too far, next they'll be claiming Dumas was black or something
"I take my duty of preserving the Papal Seat seriously, but I did not expect to also need to take it literally."
I study racism for a living and can still manage to be shocked by how institutionalized it is. What do you mean they were giving tax-breaks to white supremacists celebrating treason?
just a wild country
This may be a fundamentally new kind of sin blending blasphemy, idolatry, divination, and simony, among others. Those who are not horrified at this may be entirely lacking in authentic religious awareness and feeling.
IMHO this is an example of a certain strand of leftism that adheres so rigidly to an abstract principle that it can’t abandon it even when the facts of a situation indicate that a different position should be taken

A yellow hand held mechanical game from Tomy called aaaaghh! It’s sort of a analogue platform game for ball bearings with clockwork moving obstacles
I’m a big fan of Tomy’s analogue video games of the 80s. Stuff like this and Screwball Scramble and Kongman and Aaaaghhh!
It was a weird generation of hybrid technology when you had this and stuff like Game & Watch at the same time.
Ok I have seen a GOOD APRIL FOOLS JOKE in the wild.
My kids comic (Phoenix - home if @jamiesmart.bsky.social) comes in an envelope every week, we open it, had a fake cover for a soup review mag like we’d been sent the wrong thing.
Genius!
Goal!
*remembers I'm on Bluesky*
Classic distraction from the Epstein Files
OK it was great @offscreenff.bsky.social

@offscreenff.bsky.social Dare I ask if bullet in the head on Sunday also has English subs? I see French on the website only 😅🙃
Colin Farrell as the Penguin
Cillian Murphy as Scarecrow
Liam Neeson as Ra's Al Ghul
Joker saying "Actually I'm Irish"
This St Patrick's Day is a good time to ask ourselves "why does Batman hate Irish people so much?"
A military coalition of Canadian girlfriends
Sagittarius: This month's possibilities are endless! Like an infinite well releasing no trace of light or echo, descending into madness.
This is a good lesson for journalists: Use plain language to state true things clearly.
At @offscreenff.bsky.social for the 2nd showing of "Egghead Republic". Great to see #offscreen back!
Super - thanks!
Is 1 already gone? It seems very difficult to find online. Or will there be a reissue this year?
[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm.

That strangerers show I remember enjoying but never could find much about it after. Did it even get a dvd release?
Rubio’s speech at Munich was a massive free dose of fentanyl to an addict desperate not to get clean. And it worked. Europe is full of suckers.
Season 5 / Episode 2
"Do you want to see my new
chain saw and hockey mask?!"
This is all very well, but this guy "already had 14 previous convictions for motoring offences". So why was he still on the road? A 5-year prison sentence (4 of which suspended) and lifetime driving ban seem mild punishment. Maybe there's no such thing as manslaughter in Belgian law.
