Ah, see, I would have agreed with you in the past, but now I think actually fashion is a fascinating approach to a politics show :)
Also my understanding is Bsky simply makes videos worse in general lol
I would like to think that given the investment in SFX, they would pride themselves on not using AI, but who knows. Possibly used for editing. It was posted by the official channel which implies high representativeness of the vision. I think you're supposed to feel fairly nauseated.
But then who suddenly appears, mugging cheerfully because he's just so happy to be there?
Fuckin Bryan Johnson lmao

I saw this video of Matieres Fecales 'The One Percent' FW26 and thought, wow, really cool that they're leaning so much into being overtly grotesque, quite heavy SFX and so on.
Then Monopoly guy comes along and I think okay this is too on the nose even for me, Bluesky will have zero interest.
A political cartoon by Megan Herbert in which a journalist asks Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, " Have you just committed us to a war?" And the PM responds, " No, I've committed us to a (preemptive retaliatory de-escalation action to protect and defend Australians and other citizens in response to a request by our new strategic partner by sending defensive missiles & surveillance equipment to protect the airspace and assist the region with its collective self-defence against reprisal attacks that come as a result of the ongoing operation launched as an anticipatory response to perceived threats by historical allies acting against the established international rule of law who are too powerful for us to in any meaningful way challenge.) There's a very big difference." The words in brackets are arranged in such a way that they completely fill the word WAR written in a huge, hulking, bold khaki font.
A war by any other name.

๐ต๐ญ Filipinos have been urged to reconsider energy usage as the country prepares for potential fuel shocks, the Guardian reports. โAll national government agencies, state universities and colleges, and local government branchesโ must cut consumption by at least 10% โ how about working from home for a bit? Or keeping the AC above 24? ๐ฒ๐ฒ Runs on petrol stations were reported in Myanmar last week as punters in Naypyitaw, Yangon and Mandalay anticipate supply upsets amid the Middle East conflict. The Irrawaddy reports the country imports around 90% of its fuel needs and thatโs been tricky enough given instability within the country and the impact of sanctions in recent years. No one is taking chances. โFuel stations in the city have seen long lines of both motorcycles and cars since early morning [on Thursday]. Some stations have already closed because they ran out of fuel. Those that are still selling are limiting purchases,โ one Mandalay resident told the outlet.
worth taking a read at how seriously asian countries are taking this, and are preparing for the energy crisis, with things like the filipino gov already mandating energy rationing

A man sent me this today during/after an argument & I do think it's funny & interesting but I'm having some feelings about it. I asked did you look it up specifically (cos I hadn't seen it on the timeline yet) or did he see it coincidentally & he said coincidence. And I guess it maybe was. Hmm... ๐

me doing alt text is cope
it appears that everything is stupid and bad
I actually do have to clarify this:
I'm the least suicidal I've ever been ie not at all
I did not incur or risk physical harm today
But most importantly
I did not call lifeline to talk about white people!!!!!! It was something completely different that is not online !!!
My experience with Lifeline was significantly less helpful than making this silly meme.
(I asked them multiple clarifying questions about who to contact instead regarding the specific situation I was in today, the details of which are not all contained within my alt-text)
Version 1. The urges and buttons are the same as the final version. "be vigilant against unconscious contamination"/CLEAN UP INFO DIET versus "intentionally seek out more diverse spaces"/NAZI PEDO APP No text on hand. Panel 2 just has "OH NO" and the final tagline is "LITERAL SWEATY AUTISTIC WITH MORAL OCD"
Version 2 is pretty much the same as the barebones one but instead has "OH NO" and "MORAL OCD"
Version 3. Panel 1: I add the hovering hand bit about "literally sweaty autistic person with sweet intentions during a particularly florid presentation of mental illness" (the final one says good intentions instead of sweet) Panel 2: still "OH NO" but now the final line is "I THINK THIS MEME IS A HEALTHY WAY TO ENGAGE WITH AND IDENTIFY FALSE DICHOTOMIES BUT AM I JUST REINFORCING MY SCRUPULOSITY IN A WAY THAT DIRECTLY PERPETUATES RACISM?"
Version 4. It's the same as V3 except I've added 3 random font bits. Over the guy's face is "JUST GOING TO KEEP THIS IN THE MEME BECUASE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE ANOTHER DAY ON LOOPING" then "I'VE MADE OCD LEAPS OF FAITH BEFORE AND I'M DOING IT AGAIN TODAY THE LEVEL OF CONTROL THAT I HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED TO SEEK IS NOT PHYSICALLY COMPATIBLE WITH A HEALTHY REALITY XX ๐ฑ๐ฉท๐" In the upper-right corner behind the dude, I've got a little serif font saying "babe idk if this is helpful or harmful rn" and then a slightly larger one underneath it saying "it's ok lifeline texted me back xx"

Corrected typos, truncated detail, remembered existence of wordcounter.net

Didn't realise hadn't installed spell check for Keep on Firefox.
It is very frustrating but seems fitting.
I might note typo corrections, I might not, but I'm trying not to delete and repost.
This one is a bit of a doozy in my alt-text experience. It's a quote post, of a screenshot post, about an Elon Musk post on X, that is endorsing a post by a Nazi cunt, that in itself contains both a text quote and attached video of Tucker Carlson. If you're using a screen reader and want the telegram version, the main point of me including this image is to illustrate a context wherein even according to someone who "studies racism for a living," there is some seriously heinous racist shit on X specifically. Okay, so. It's from 9 March 2026 (per GMT+11) about something posted 2 days ago. Olรบfแบนฬmi O. Tรกรญwรฒ @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.socialโฌ says: "maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living" They're responding to a post from earlier today by Max Berger @maxberger.bsky.socialโฌ: "X is a fascist propaganda website." Attached to Max's post is a screenshot of an Elon post on X with 21 million views, in which Elon is just saying "True" in his characteristic gormless way. The original post that Elon is endorsing is by a Nazi fuckwit loser with the username @iamyesyouareno. Here is the OP text: Tucker: "Every other group in the world has a right to its own homeland except White people? What? Explain how that makes sense.โ White people deserve a homeland. The Nazi fuckwit loser has attached a 2-minute clip from The Tucker Carlson Show, that I will for the present purpose only transcribe the very start and end of. "Well just on principle, like, every other group in the world [...] So, there is no answer, and because there is no answer, the way that uniformity, um, is maintained is just through threats, like, [in a whiny voice] 'shut up!'" (Yep, says his conversation partner) "'You're a bad person!'"
The final version of a 'sweating about two buttons' meme I was making about moral scrupulosity re: antiracism that I then changed to be more about OCD. The first panel is about the urge to "be vigilant against unconscious contamination" (button 1: "CLEAN UP INFO DIET") versus the urge to "intentionally seek out more diverse spaces" (button 2: "NAZI PEDO APP") These bits are in the traditional meme Arial and Impact fonts. I added text to the hovering hand in Bookman font: "literally sweaty autistic person with good intentions during a particularly florid presentation of mental illness" Normally it's followed by just one big snappy line in panel 3, but I've got four bits of text in different fonts. Impact font: "DON'T LOSE ANOTHER DAY TO THE WHIMS OF THIS WRETCHED CREATURE" Palatino font: "It is either trying but failing to protect you or maybe is just insatiable for doubt in grey areas" Impact: "THE LEVEL OF CONTROL THAT YOU HAVE BEEN CONDITIONED TO SEEK IS NOT PHYSICALLY COMPATIBLE WITH A HEALTHY REALITY. KEEP BREATHING. STAY IN YOUR SELF. PLEASE CONSIDER A LEAP OF FAITH. THERE IS HOPE XX ๐ฑ๐ฉท๐" Then in a little Bookman font aside behind the cartoon guy, there's: "just going to keep this in the meme becuase there's no such thing as journalling incorrectly, I don't want to lose another day on looping, and I'd rather watch cartoons actually"
maybe I'm focusing on the wrong thing here but this is the wildest shit I've ever heard a white South African say and I study racism for a living
