Also i find it strangely moving that in 1915, just before this Canadian soldier went over the top to his likely death, his last thought was to make sure everyone knew that Jock was a cunt.

Trench tunnel wall with "Jock the Cunt" scrawled on it. Cunt is underlined.

For the cheap seats, Carter basically did what killed Spock in Star Trek: Wrath of Khan and survived.

Can they also have epic shootouts too? Smoky bars and epic shootouts are the best late 80s Hong Kong combination

There's a lot of dialogue about Bluesky being a progressive echo chamber or whatever. But to me, a reporter who's neither racist nor insane, it's currently the best Twitter replacement because Twitter serves me nonstop racist and insane stuff and Threads won't do breaking news. Truly that simple.

Update on OpenAI: There is an exodus of executives, the company is burning billions a year, its enterprise offerings are widely criticized, Sam Altman appears to spend half of his day doing podcasts, and there is still no proven business model. It is currently seeking a $150 billion valuation.

I drove across the USA and all I got was my second case of COVID. Good thing I got the new shot while I was down there, so hopefully this won't suck too bad. Feeling "moderate hangover" rather than "ICU" so far

I may be in the top 10% but I only just now got the upgrade that lets me post this stat. Someone should do a chart showing the numbers for the different waves of new users. I'm in the "Elon really messing up Twitter" wave of fall 2023. Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,160,147!

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #1,160,147, Andrew Burke ‪@ajlburke.bsky.social‬, joined on Sep 21, 2023"
