Yes. It enforces a bubble by its very nature. There is no main feed, by default you see people you follow and posts they interact with. I don’t have a problem with that. I wouldn’t go into a pub with racists, and xenophobes, so I shouldn’t have to do it online.

Anyway, first thing I did was sign up for a couple of blocks lists, and what saw was awful people.

Also, if you look a the moderation settings, there is a lot of objectional content that is or can be hidden basic of topic flags. This is content that on any sane networks should be banned and the users suspended. But of Bluesky its just hidden from view.

It’s basically a microcosm of the Internet. It’s not the Good Place for sure, and anyone who thinks that is deluded.

I’ve seen more shit talking on Bluesky about Mastodon than Threads, to be honest.

One dog with a fog machine

A fiver?! Fucking hell man, I’m old.

Counterpoint: not concerning at all

I can guarantee that these drivers are tracked within an inch of their lives and there is absolutely no allowance for parking anywhere other than the shortest distance to an address.

We have a bunch of exclusion zones in Edinburgh where you aren’t allowed set off fireworks around bonfire night, but I’m going to guess that these are mostly in deprived areas, and not the relatively well-to-do Corstophine where the zoo is.

TNG from the start, but Iimit yourself to the 4 or 5 best rated episodes from Season 1 and 2. Then crack on with most of 3 and 4. 5 onwards starts to have a few more clunkers but by then you should have a good idea if you like it enough to take a chance.

For prosecution they need less coverage in terms of ticket checks. The threat of being caught means the majority of people buy tickets in advance. But if they allow people to buy tickets on the train, then they need to have better coverage.

Just ban them, and let people buy/upgrade tickets on the train. Oh wait, that will mean train companies will have to employ ticket inspectors…

Just be wary of the dog.

Odiham seems a bit more built up than I’d have expected…

I can hear his daughter rolling her eyes from here.

Lost his phone. Borrowed someone else’s phone. Lost that one too. I was going to slag him off, but remembered I have ADHD and am almost always doing this sort of shit. I was even going to say “with less freezing”, but then I remembered about the time I found my glasses in the freezer. So fair do’s.

zoo bosses hailing the breeding programme “a success”

…a terrifyingly horrible success.

So she asked me, ‘What was your dog’s name growing up?’ and I said, ‘Suzette Monet.’

🤔

You’ve buried the lead. She’s called Haggis.

As if online shopping substitutions aren’t already a lottery.

In all seriousness though, better something more recyclable like a beer can than those plastic pouches. There should be a law that says if packaging doesn’t need to be plastic then it shouldn’t be. Bring back metal toothpaste tubes, glass milk bottles, and those weird waxy paper bags they used to have inside cereal boxes.

I’ll get my walking stick and see myself out.

Jesus. That’s fucking grim.
