🚨🚨God, in pure hysterical delusional 'Telegraph' style Sean Thomas has mastered the craft of writing one of the worst columns of the week. Needless to say, 1) No, #bluesky is far from dying, 2) #Twitter/X is nastier than everything on social media (excluding the porn sites).

🚨🚨 Characteristically strong speech by EU HR @kajakallas.bsky.social on need for unity: " Russia is a threat to global security. During the cold war, the US and its allies far outclassed Russia. Today, against NATO and the EU, Russia doesn't stand a chance. But we must stick together".

Their 14-year old intern is on social media again. The Tories need to make up their minds whether Trump is an ally worthy of courtesy, a rival, an enemy, an obstacle to be negotiated or what. Instead they go with “sTarMEr baD LOL”. Not serious people.
