- Saw the Gaiman post.
- Reposted by Ritesh!Neil Gaiman should never be readmitted to polite society. A man with that much money and power, actively putting up a smokescreen of progressivism to conceal his predation, can never be trusted.
- Me playing video-games:
- Tried Hollow Knight.

🏃♀️ - Reposted by Ritesh!Do you remember when people were saying "I think my phone is listening to me, i'm getting ads for stuff I spoke about" and people said "They arent listening to you, they're just this good at predicting your interests"? Well, it happens they were doing exactly that. www.cbsnews.com/news/google-...
- 'Art about Art' probably the thing I'm finding the most intolerable at the moment. The easiest, most lazy cave for an artist to cower in fear and insularity rather than venture out and explore and be curious or vulnerable about the world. Often a well of unearned self-importance that just sucks.
- Reposted by Ritesh!THE WORLD IS AN AFTER-IMAGE Title Page
- Continuing my Gaming Era. Finished Clair Obscur. I am once again saying the postmodernists must be tried at the hague.
- Reposted by Ritesh!knowing how the story has progressed for Satoshi Kon (RIP) and Aronofsky (pro-AI, rich) , this is a very sad thing to reflect on
- I need Pep to run that 4-2-2-2 for the rest of the season. Last year he did it to stabilize the team, which albeit being boring did indeed do just that with the unc midfield. This year, that 'Dual Pairs' system, with Dual 6s, Dual 10s, and Dual 9s is working to deliver fluid dynamic football.
- Reposted by Ritesh!By their own numbers, almost 50% of what Bluesky moderation gets up to is just manually labeling replies as rude. 👍
- In 2025, as Bluesky grew from 25M to 42M users, we took actions to keep it welcoming, using proactive design to reduce toxic content by 79%. Our 2025 Transparency Report shares how we're building a safer platform while keeping a transparent and human-centered approach: bsky.social/about/blog/0...
- The Crystal Palace collapse this season has been crazy man. Because even all the mess aside--how do you go from being the slick operators hoovering up the Adam Whartons, Eberichi Ezes, and Marc Guehis of the world to blowing £100 million on...goddamn Brennan Johnson and Jørgen Strand Larsen?!

- BREAKING: Judge dismisses murder, weapons charges against alleged UnitedHealth CEO killer Mangione reut.rs/45Fin56
- You ever just remember that 5 second window wherein capeshit losers were pretending they had principles and would actually stop reading and boycott their slop after DC fired a trans woman. Then they went right back to screaming about how Desolute Donkeyman was turbo-woke and leftist or whatever.
- The true talisman of any team is 'That guy you'd hate if he was on the opposing team, but you love when he's on yours'.
- BRUH. WHAT DID I JUST WATCH. THAT WAS PRIME MOURINHO MADNESS.
- Turns out America was the Watchmen Squid all along
- Reposted by Ritesh!IN YOUR SKIN is a body horror comic based in Bollywood, emerging from my love-hate relationship with Hindi movies. This is a story I’ve wanted to tell for ages, and I’m excited to do it with an artist whose work I’ve admired for a very long time.
- Reposted by Ritesh!Big news, gang: IN YOUR SKIN, a new comic book written by me, drawn by artist Som, coloured by Francesco Segala, starts publication in April from @imagecomics.com, produced by @readtinyonion.bsky.social. @popversesays.bsky.social has the exclusive details: www.thepopverse.com/comics-in-yo...
- Wait, Man United also beat Arsenal?! #AlwaysLoveThyNeighbour
- Mbappe might actually be a sadist bruh. Because what do you mean he executed a Panenka for a penalty in extra time right in front of Brahim Diaz and said 'That was for you!' 😂😂😂 Just straight up rubbing salt on the wound and twisting the dagger deeper. He legit did a 'That's how it's done, son'
- The British...
- The model here is The East India Company for the new age. Thus the requirement of Investments ($1 Billion per seat) and it being the capitalist-colonial overseer of Gaza whilst also extending outwards as a Private Company to enforce the will of its Corporate Council across the earth.
- Remembering this banger...
- 'The Board Of Peace' has to be one of the biggest farces I've ever seen.
- Apparently Lionsgate is working on a prestige drama about the history of Man United. And all I can think is that I sure hope they keep The Horse Saga. How one single horse destroyed a legendary Dynasty, and how it was all a tragedy of errors. The Saga Of The Rock Of Gibraltar.

- Pedri holding his hammy with an injury...I scream with pain. Flickball about to run my boye into the ground one of these days. They've got a true 1 of 1, a unicorn of a player, that they're rinsing like soap. 😭😭 It's like Rodri all over again. 😔😔
- 'Go to hell' is basic. "I hope the artsy anime original about working people you're interested in ends up in Netflix jail" is smart. It's possible. It's terrifying.

- Everything coming out of Davos today is just too funny. It's been frying me all day long. The collective contempt for the US could power turbines.
- Guz Khan and Riz Ahmed teaming up to take the piss out of Repslop situations is frying me. Makes sense esp for Khan I think having made MAN LIKE MOBEEN, which is simply an all-timer.
- The scenes after the Dollar Hegemony collapse>>>>> We will be there.

- It's been a day and I'm still not over what Brahim Diaz did lmao. A country waiting 50 years to win an AFCON, being the host nation, doing tons of trickery and corruption, all leading up to that golden opportunity to run away with the win. And then he does that. Divine justice kicking in 😂😂😂

- Bob The Builder wouldn't work today because nobody can believe in the British capability to build or fix anything. Bob The Builder today would be Chinese. They know infrastructure. They could get that shit done in a weekend.
- That AFCON final is the sort to inspire a billion essays and video essays till the end of time. I can't stop thinking about it. What a game. A true all-timer.
- Genuinely one of the worst pens I've ever seen. Hall Of Shame stuff.
