Sad to hear about Gene Hackman and his wife… what are the odds Trump will now realize there is a state called New Mexico and he demands it be renamed The Wonderful State Of Trump Land

1605 on November 5 Guy Fawkes and his mates try to blow up the British Parliament and fail to destroy British democracy. 420 years later on the same day the USA does a much better job of threatening the rights of everyone in the country, the fireworks are yet to start although the fuse is lit!

An apology to my American friends. I hope what awaits isn’t as terrible as I fear but not engaging in what is happening there has made me much happier. The ostrich approach is working. Out of sight is indeed out of mind, which is apt considering how many in the USA lost theirs on Nov 5

There is a great power in being invisible on here with few friends or interest in my musings. I can say anything I like and no one will notice. When my 25yo son says the creation of the Internet was the start of the end you have to praise him for the insight. Life was better for me before the WWW

If you get a friend request from Nigel Higgins3 who claims to be head of Barclays Bank in the UAE it is a scam account offering you millions of an inheritance if you help with a short term loan. I have reported it to @bluesky there are other ones going around as well so be careful

Currently planning a big family trip and astounded by the cost of accommodation. What really perplexes me is #AirBnB places costing more than hotels which offer far more services and in better locations.

Just quietly watching the people I followed elsewhere move across knowing all my pithy adds to their posts will be ignored and result in continued anonymity 🤣🤣🤣🫶🏼

I deleted X yesterday - I tried Threads but the algorithm switched from grieving voters to ladies of questionable motives and onlyfans accounts.. so I’m back here, still not liking the layout or able to finesse the content to my liking. Any tips?

I’ve just found a stack of Tweets on Xwitter that failed to be sent. All were about the Orange Menace. Anyone else had the same outcome?

Hey @bsky.app is there any chance of an iPad version that expands the layout. It would be helpful to older folk like me. Thanks

My first post on Bluesky and it occurs to my wife and I it should have been called Bluebird…so do we call posts “tweets”?
