There are some things I don't understand. Putting woolly hats on things is one of them.

@sonia-sodha.bsky.social a stupid question perhaps: but why is there no coverage in the Observer of the proposed sale to Tortoise and also the forthcoming strike?

This is nonsensical. David Cameron means it shortens dying. Words matter, or they should do.

The left hate those who were once in their tribe but who have now moved right. I thought journalists were supposed to be pro-freedom of speech.

@j-amesmarriott.bsky.social has written a very good piece on the fragmentation of social media. I suppose in the short term people with two accounts will post in both, but will soon tire of this additional effort, and go down to one, or none: www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

Not sure if 'afraid' is the best choice of word in the headline, but this is a good piece by @marthagill.bsky.social on the innate fairness of exams (over other forms of assessment). Remains a concern to think Peter Hyman is so close to policy.

Why will @bsky.app not end up like Twitter under Dorsey or X under Trump? Surely it's just time and if it continues to grow in popularity. The loonies from left and right will come (some are already here).

Is the x-odus to @bluesky more pronounced in the 'caring professions' such as teaching because, quite simply, @X is felt to be a less compassionate place than it used to be? Certainly many more people in education posting here since the riots...
