40,000 followers! Thank you all VERY much! Am now at the audience size I had back when X was Twitter. Deeply appreciative and will strive to keep good content coming.

Poland - while holding the presidency of the European Council - is disregarding the International Criminal Court and will not arrest Netanyahu; who’s wanted for starvation, extermination and other war crimes. But ofc Warsaw will demand other countries arrest Putin. Bye bye international law 👏

Great letter in today's Guardian. What sort of free speech is prevented by factchecking, Zuck?

Good to see @theneweuropean.bsky.social naming Gisèle Pélicot as Person of the Year 2024 - take note, Time magazine!

Always read Alissa Rubin. www.nytimes.com/2024/12/10/w...

Got tired of being scolded by out-of-touch traditional media and wrote about Mangione, American healthcare, and what we define as violent. open.substack.com/pub/thespite...

Huge test for Bluesky tonight with the #LateLateToyShow. Can it step up?

Ah, I did wonder where Prince Andrew's PR's person went to work after the Newsnight interview...

Time for this to get another airing 🤣😠 #greggwallace #greggnotgreg

They said that Elon Musk couldn't make a successful social media platform, but here we are.

[Job interview] “Can you explain these gaps in your CV?” “Yes, they’re so the words aren’t all joined together” *rolls eyes to self*

Just how fucking stupid are people in Silicon Valley? Apparently the Next Big Thing (or at least, the latest sink for VC dollars) are dating apps where you create your own AI bot and it dates other people's AI bots so you don't have to go on dates yourself. Gift link (if gift is the right word):

Both @thenewsagents.bsky.social and @lbc.co.uk now on BlueSky Repost and give them a follow!

hello and welcome to the 1M people that have joined Bluesky in the last week!!!

Seeing a Cybertruck in LA two weeks ago felt like an eyeroll and now it feels like an Imperial ship patrolling.

Love it!

Amazing rapid growth in BlueSky users: a dramatic inflow of new users. It seems starter packs are really helping people build networks

This is a brilliant list of all the "usual" political peeps who are now transferring from X to Bluesky....all in one handy parcel thanks to @adambienkov.bsky.social Cheers Adam Pls repost Let's get this party started 👍🏼👍🏼

I’ve often wondered what it must have been like to hear new Beatles music on the radio. Today it finally happened and it was a little bit special.

“The entire collection of Geoffrey Chaucer’s works held by the British Library is being made available in digital format after the completion of a two and a half year project to upload 25,000 images of the often elaborately illustrated medieval manuscripts.” www.theguardian.com/books/2023/o... 1/2

Literally monsoon rain in #Waterford.

This does not surprise me at all www.irishtimes.com/world/middle...

Has there ever been a global brand dismantled and ruined in this way by its ownership? www.platformer.news/p/how-the-at...

I'm going to track down as many of you as I can. Please could people repost me, so others can see I am here - and I can find them, and them me. Blue skies, herds of unicorns and sunlit uplands beckon. Oh...and another two Tory candidates bite the dust, I understand 👍👍👍

Wow - 1.5 million users on Bluesky, and it is running smoothly and without glitches (despite v1 being designed only for 1 million). Soon v2 will be released to enable growth up to 10 million users. bsky.jazco.dev/stats

"You boy, what day is this??"

Just a heads up, lots of people are getting so sick of Xitter they’re just dumping codes now, so thing’s are primed for a big influx of new users. Remember they can’t game a non-existent algorithm here, and blocks are stronger on Bluesky.

Very pleasant here the way - even with v small follower count - it never feels like shouting into the void

So in one week, Bluesky went from 1.35 million users to 1.47 million users… that’s roughly 20,000 new users a day. bsky.jazco.dev/stats

Love it when school kids get to meet their sporting heroes

Alright, this indeed looks like our good old Twitter.

Bluesky is offering journalists and newsrooms direct access to this platform. Spread the word. 🗞

One of Turkey’s most prominent earthquake experts is particularly worried about Istanbul, whose 16 million inhabitants he fears could face a debilitating quake sometime in the near future. “Istanbul is not ready at all,” he said. “There would be chaos.”

Has anyone bought the #ooni electric? What’s it like and is it worth it?

simply *the* most dogshit poster of all time. he does not have a funny bone in his body and it makes him so sad and confused. i know fellas who use big bang theory gifs in groupchats and they're funnier than this. guys who put themselves down as jedi on the census.
