@iandunt.bsky.social clearing out some of my grandmother's old books and found this. One particular chapter jumped out...

@iandunt.bsky.social @dorianlynskey.bsky.social thanks for the new Q&A. Talking about escapes & self-care, I know you've heard this before but podcasts and their communities help me a lot. When Ian said at the end, "take care of yourself" it felt genuine & heartfelt because we're a community.

This is absolutely the last thing anyone from the Fire Brigades Union should be doing.

Aston Villa play West Ham this afternoon, so I guess David Cameron is going to have a confusing day.

What really confuses me about conspiracy theorists is you’d think an ultra weird billionaire with a made up name, a media channel and his own space ship is literally what they’ve been waiting decades for. An actual Bond villain. And they’re all like ‘Yeah bro. Elon’s the MAN. He’s on OUR team!’ 🤯

@sturdyalex.bsky.social what an utterly fabulous, magnificent, fascinating interview with Richard Watson, about whom I was entirely unaware. Please, please do get him on again. I am inspired and motivated by his words, and I'll be subscribing and devouring his e-book, and probably his others too.

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.

This Blake Lively being compared with Amber Heard's experiences is not helping the fact that I keep thinking they're the same person.

What a facile analysis. Even within a narrow application of AI, like for lawyers, there's a combination of real, fake, sucks, and dangerous, sometimes all within the same product. Posing it as a binary debate is just dodging the real issues.

Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

could we maybe do a protest of people who are currently renting and can't afford to buy property and who also won't inherit enough to ever buy a place

Discussing Bluesky migration in terms of liberal flight misses the simple fact that most people use social media for fun not influence and this platform, unlike X and cruddified Facebook, doesn’t feel like you’re wading through shit to reach your friends. It’s not that deep.
