Happy Monday Bluesky! Fun fact from today in history. This one seemed most relevant to today for some reason. 💙

Barry Blitt’s cover for this week’s issue, “The First Hundred Days.” #NewYorkerCovers nyer.cm/ysrCZ47

When fascism hits unsend but the internet is forever.

I will remind people why things got better in the early 20th century, the workers organised, they went on strike, they refused to work unless they got what they wanted. The richest had to cave in, because you actually have all the power. It's time for it to happen again.

"Do you even own a black suit?"

We live in a world where no one from Jeffrey Epstein's sex offenders list has been prosecuted because they are rich and powerful but at least 4 of their victims have been driven to suicide.

If eating scotch eggs in an Austin Allegro had a face.

Where did I put my tiny violin?

Magic Money Tree Rolls-Royce wants UK subsidies for new engine. Why can shareholders not fund it? Govt won't give repayable loan, won't take equity stake. Company will own resulting asset & income streams. Huge wealth transfer to private hands. Must check corporate welfare. archive.ph/ImPcN

The UK loses £250bn profit a year to Privatised Services. That's £5bn a week, more than 5x Brexit. Nearly 90% of this money goes to Tax Havens, no tax, no spending, completely lost. That's why the Government has no money, not Disabled People.

it has to infuriate him that she’s a million times better at posting than he’ll ever be

White Lotus star Jason Isaacs speaking to The Newsagents, "People get very annoyed when actors speak out about politics" "My retort, there's a reality star in the While House"

My only criticism of George Orwell’s 1984 is that it wasn’t titled 2025.

Without trade unions we wouldn’t have • a minimum wage • maternity & paternity rights • pension provision • holiday & sickness entitlements victories which have benefited every single person in this country Join a union. Thank me later👇 youtu.be/jg0D2yNiqHM?...

OK that’s quite funny.

Let 2025 be the year we finally stop hearing from Andrew Tate. For 20 years.

Dom Cummings or ‘Cum,’as we his pals call him, is loved. What a team him & Elon make! In our village we call them Musky Cum. Jill in the village shop is celebrating by covering her baps in fudge & cream & calling them ‘Musky Cummers.’ They are a tad difficult to swallow though.🤢

One of the reasons I was so opposed to Rwanda is that it would be a really bad idea to start normalising deporting people (asylum seekers are not citizens but it's not that big a jump...)

The series Terminator was entirely correct, except for one detail. The person in charge of Skynet will be someone like Elon Musk. The danger has never been from the robots, always their creators.

Mark Zuckerberg slams Apple in Joe Rogan interview: ‘They haven’t invented anything great in a while’ Can anyone remind me when Mark Zuckerberg invented anything? Don't say Facebook, he stole that.

NOVEMBER 2024: Therese Coffey, asked if private schools - whose pupils get extra exam time at almost three times the rate of state schools - are gaming the system, replies: "You don't ask, you don't get". An huge viral and our first on BlueSky🦋. ~AA #BfBviralvid

It’s new year. You want to change something. I’ve got something: turn off all phone notifications that aren’t messages to you personally (texts, emails etc). You don’t need your phone to beep if someone interacts with a post or follows you or if a news outlet writes a headline. You won’t miss them.

First Zuckerberg, now Bezos: Amazon to donate $1m to Trump’s inaugural fund. Musk supports far right in Germany, plans to fund Reform in the UK. We are all pawns in billionaires' game of thrones in a corrupt political system. Backlash is long overdue. www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

At least 100,000 showed up to protest in Belgrade, Serbia against the pro-kremlin President Vučić. #SerbiaProtests
