Surround yourself with the kind of people who support their local library, bakery, bookstore, and café.

Those accusing the ICC of being “political” do not fully understand the law. Post WWII, we in “the West” stipulated a set of shared rules that we believed applied to everyone - enemies, allies and ourselves. If an ally breaches those rules, the rules have not suddenly become “political” overnight.

I'm old enough to remember when BlueSky only had 12 million users.

World beating UK, energy prices nearly double anywhere else. Also the UK, every energy firm making 4-10x profits. I wonder if they are related?

That's some guerilla marketing campaign @bsky.app I've just noticed the ironing board cover in my hotel room.

Bluesky appears to be doing some great gatekeeper work… …keeping out the troll kings. You have our gratitude. 🩵

🧵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

Morning, the sun is on its way in west Cumbria.

If you feel the same, spread the word.

Being on bluesky without fighting through a sea of bots and ads made me realize I don’t dislike social media, I disliked not being able to be social on social media

Bluesky now has over 20M people!! 🎉 We've been adding over a million users per day for the last few days. To celebrate, here are 20 fun facts about Bluesky:

As everyone else seems to be doing it, this is my hund, Truff. I'm 90% sure she has a criminal background, every time I try to photograph her, this happens.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

My daily commute home. I hope everyone else is having a similarly trauma free journey home this evening.

They have an account on X dedicated to watching BlueSky since we are blocking them too fast, they aren't taking it very well. Big creepy stalker vibes all around.

I have just set up this account on Bluesky. I won’t be deleting my Twitter account because there’s a bit of history within it. I will also confirm on Twitter & Facebook this is my account.

💥 NEWS! 💥 Delighted to announce that we have TWO new Presidents at European Movement UK: Caroline Lucas and Dominic Grieve Our former President, Michael Heseltine stepped down at the AGM this weekend. Onwards and definitely upwards! www.europeanmovement.co.uk/new-european...

By popular demand… the Guardian is officially on BlueSky @theguardian.com

I'm 24 hrs in on SB, my thoughts. Loving that science features prominently in my feed and not pseudo science telling me how the pyramids were built by aliens. Equally love people posting about books and their bookshelf and not people ranting on book burning. Musk has a lot to answer for.

For those folks who have joined recently, a few tips that may make your experience here more enjoyable.

They already have our medical records,now Palantir (run by Peter Thiel) want to get into the predict-when-people-might-commit-a-crime business.Thiel’s protege is JD Vance. Apart from that, have a lovely Saturday. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

🔥 European Movement UK has now landed on Bluesky. I think that this feels like our natural home. Please do follow AND SHARE!

Mikaela Shiffrin really is the greatest skier ever. What a great second run in Levi.

As I chat away on here with people about their middle-aged Friday nights I'm increasingly furious over how obviously Twitter was strangling my feed. This ACTUALLY works as a social media platform. X was just bots, ads and fury. There are PEOPLE here.

NEED SOME GOOD NEWS? The EU now generates more electricity from wind and solar than from fossil fuels. Graph from @natbullard.bsky.social using @emberenergy.bsky.social data.

I was a late arrival to Twitter, joined 2019. Subsequently didn't feel comfortable using my name as even then bots and trolls abounded. Anyway, I've decided to change that here. Don't make me regret it.

Put me in your starter pack! I like it here.

Live skiing back on Eurosport, that is all the excuse I need. No chores getting done this morning.

Left the cesspit formally known as Twitter 10 mins ago. BlueSky already feels like a breath of fresh air.
