A bit of cursed city in readiness to watch nosferatu this week.

Foreign Leader Favourability Ratings amongst British Voters: 🇺🇦 Volodymyr Zelenskyy Favourable: 64% Unfavourable: 16% NET: +48% 🇺🇸 Donald Trump Favourable: 22% Unfavourable: 73% NET: -51% 🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin Favourable: 4% Unfavourable: 89% NET: -85% Via @YouGov, 16-17 Feb.

Extraordinary story the Wall Street Journal. X is threatening advertisers that if they don’t spend more, Elon Musk will use his influence in government to block company mergers. That’s extortion.

They tried to cancel John Crace from covering the right-wing jamboree at ExCel but no one can stop him filing copy this good www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

clever campaigning by the TUC here

when writing about the rise of British populism it’s worth bearing in mind that voters still prefer Starmer to Farage… ….and even prefer Ed Davey to Farage

Tesla paid $0 in federal income tax last year. 2022: $0 2021: $0 2020: $0 2019: $0 2018: $0 Tesla reported $6.7 billion in profit in those years.

Hello, BlueSky! 👋 We're Eureka Miniatures, creators of finely crafted miniatures ranging from the historically accurate to the wildly imaginative. Based in Melbourne, we specialise in everything from Napoleonic battalions to the chaotic and quirky. We've got something to inspire your next project.

Playing around with some cheap magnetic sheets to make flooded fields for Normandy. (Carentan, purple heart Lane etc.) Initial thoughts is that these might work OK. Comments of course welcome. #spreadthelard #15mmwargaming #ww2wargaming

Hi everyone, I've finally joined BlueSky. This is my official account (ignore imitations!) I'll still be on Twitter (refuse to call it X) as it's hard to give up 219K followers. But X has become a haven for right-wing trolls/conspiracy theorists so am trying this out as an alternative.

Doing a bit of 15mm ww2 terrain building. Very inspired by @stormofsteelwargaming.com and how he does buildings and their footprint. Farm is still a WIP. #wargaming

So Nigel Farage, who has repeatedly suggested that migration puts women's safety at risk, has been harbouring a senior colleague who was jailed for violently assaulting his own girlfriend

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️

daily reminder to support your local library, even if that’s just by checking out ebooks! 📚

Just moved twitter/x off my homescreen and put Bluesky there instead. Feels good.

Everything you need to know about what’s in Project 2025 - and what’s coming from Trump Term 2 - in two minutes flat.

Using up my leftover 15mm battlefront german grenadiers. Decided to try to winterise them. Maybe not up to the scrutiny of absolute accuracy, but 15mm from 2 feet away. I think they might do.

We cover Herts, Cambs, Beds, Essex, Norfolk & Suffolk but also publish national stories. Please encourage your followers to follow us 🙏

Wargaming Hürtgen Forest. Anyone done it? I'm guessing for platoon level actions, it will involve a lot of taking objectives, I.e. trench lines, and bunkers. Also, did the US have winter clothes by then? I've googled and got mixed answers.

BlueSky is filling a void that 35+ up been looking for. Social media should be a cool distraction. Not stressful and annoying. Folks wanna laugh and have healthy banter and wit and sarcasm. A feeling of community. Not all these bots and ads and weird ass algorithms and engagement farming

Stephen King, master of the horror novel, just quit Twitter because it'd become too "dark." That's how horrifying Twitter is right now. There may never be a more perfect expression of this fact.

I’m not saying the Xodus is unstoppable, but I am saying my mum just forwarded me an email from her local theatre explaining why they’re moving to Bluesky. If you’ve lost South Oxfordshire amateur dramatics, you stand to lose a whole lot more.

One request for @bsky.app- we need to be able to post videos longer than a minute…Sopel has barely got going by then.
