Limbs… #lufc

Wow. I just crossed 500,000 followers here on Bluesky (compared to less than 100k on Election Day last November). The engagement on this site is pretty amazing. And nice not to have Nazis here, too. Thank you for following me and engaging in good faith conversations! Long may it continue.

Essential read.

Looks like the MAGA have made the same mistake as Brexit voters in the UK and voted to put tariffs on themsleves in the foolish assumption that it makes them look strong. Have a read of this insightful analysis of why Trump's attempt to bully America's neighbours will backfire badly

Absolutely despicable how trying to do a basic web search in the 21st century involves basically code-cracking the right combo of words to get the results you actually want and not the sponsored content you have literally no interest in OR YOU WOULD HAVE FUCKING SEARCHED FOR THAT
