Worst timeline.
Just read issue 16.
@kierongillen.bsky.social *bows respectfully*
Nobody here needs to be told that Reform's claims of cheating are utterly absurd but it's worth noting that the anti-Reform vote was so large that even if the Greens and Labour had split it 50/50 Reform would still have lost — in fact they would have come third. They only value democracy if they win
And breathe.
I was so into Red Dwarf in the mid-90s that I bought BOTH 'blooper' VHS releases and watched them multiple times through.
Sounds like you need a Crisis In Infinite Bakeries storyline.
My guide for healthy usage of Bluesky:
1. Open Bluesky
2. Check to see if @jon.inkle.co has posted anything interesting
3. Carefully ignore everything else
4. Close Bluesky
A dumpling in the form of Autobot leader Optimus Prime.
Went to a dumpling restaurant in London, where the coasters all had a little cartoon dumpling picture. The walls of the place were covered in sketches people had done. I, of course, drew Dumplingus Prime.
You should do this when you pass people, even when not walking your dog.
The government only functions if you continue drawing.

I've been writing a weekly serial for 4 years, and finished it last week.
September 2021 - January 2026
244 chapters
408,912 words (erk)
In paperback, it would be ~1,169 pages — which is about the same as the entirety of The Lord of the Rings
I'm tired.

You're saving it for the Christmas issue, aren't you?
A bird's-eye view of a former Auschwitz II-Birkenau camp showing a wide dirt pathway flanked by parallel rows of barbed-wire fences. Groups of visitors walk along the path, surrounded by the remnants of brick structures and barracks, now reduced to foundations. Green grass contrasts with the somber history of the site, as the path leads toward a guard tower in the distance.
Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers.
This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder.
Auschwitz took time.
I nearly did my back in yesterday because of this.
Reading this got me to buy it. It was on my very long 'to play' list, but knowing it's a 'compact' experience immediately bumped it up to the top.
'Short game' is such an overlooked marketing angle!
My main observation from this accidentally going low-key viral is that a surprising number of Bluesky users can't detect sarcasm and lack a functioning sense of humour.
‘Terrible things are happening outside… Families are torn apart; men, women and children are separated. Children come home from school to find that their parents have disappeared. Women return… to find their families gone.’

Trump has said he won't use force, and the good thing about Trump is that he always keeps his word and tells the truth.
Oh, if it's her we'll be fine.

I think if you're a Transformers fan and you're angry at the DWJ sketch of Optimus defending innocent people from ICE then you're not actually a Transformers fan and you're a bootlicking dipshit.
call me crazy but it really feels like “World’s Richest Man Creates AI Chatbot That Generates Child Porn” would’ve been a huge international outrage requiring a governmental crackdown not even 24 months ago
To paraphrase @charalanahzard.bsky.social : the more you know about a topic, the more AI tends to get it wrong, so you should only ask it about things you know nothing about
I was annoyed by the Online Safety Act over the summer, primarily from the point of view of a reader/viewer/etc.
A couple of weeks ago, I had to consider it from the point of view of a creator.
That time my writing was censored by the British government: open.substack.com/pub/simonkjo...
