“VIÐ RÁÐUM” means “WE DECIDE” in Icelandic. And the people of Iceland are now to be given a referendum on whether the country will enter EU accession talks. 🇪🇺🇮🇸

No further comment required 🤣

In case you missed it, a Telegraph columnist is calling for the UK to join a federal superstate with a single currency and free movement of people.

You can tell BlueSky is doing well because it is now apparently a hotbed of woke communist anti-American illegal-immigrant-loving liberal elitist transgenders.

A man who made politics ‘interesting’ in the good old way not the new way. So long John

After more than 5 years of trying and more stress than you can shake a stick at we have finally moved into our ‘forever’ home. Lots still to do but - Yay!

🧵SALT🧵 It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question: Have you ever wondered where that grit actually COMES from? The answer is more magical, beautiful and fascinating than you probably realised. 1/14

Umm. This is like first day at school. I’ve joined up

A neighbourhood has three cafes: Threads cafe, BlueSky cafe and Mastodon cafe. Some people prefer one, while others go from one to another to say hello. A few like all three. All good: no reason for there just to be one. But we all avoid the once-popular place that went bad under new management.

Ooh 20k followesr on BlueSky - that's pretty healthy but obviously not quite the million we had/have on the sad old shit hole that Twitter is these days. Do tell your friends that Fesshole is HERE, so that they can follow us / block us, dependent on their feelings.

Hello everyone. I am now on this platform for social media. Do please repost this message so that more people can find me!

A quick social experiment. The same tweet, posted at the same time on here and on Twitter, commenting on @joannahs.bsky.social’s brilliant piece on the exodus of criminal barristers. Bluesky replies on the left. Twitter on the right.

T. Rex and Blue Mink bass guitarist Herbie Flowers dies aged 86 Amazing contribution to music over the years! R.I.P. Herbie

This is so good. Full of killer quotable lines. eg “He's managed to turn […] Tesla from an icon brand catering to well-off environmentalists to […] one instead associated with impotent try-hard faux-masculinity.”

Having spent some time in BlueSky now, I’m finding that Twitter seems even more rabid and furious when I go back. Like I’m now a frog hopping in and out of the boiling water

Well hello!

Thanks & another hello to new followers this past week (📈), & also thanks to anyone who has recommended this account. Please stay, engage, & build this platform which is already great & imo has proper 2012 Twitter energy. See attached post. 🙏❤️ to my bsky buddies these last 18 months, I see you 👀

Who's going to tell her?
