Cue me discovering @archive.org has a STORE including fingerless gloves store.archive.org/internet-arc...
I won a trivia contest sponsored by @archive.org last week and got a nice package of swag in the mail today. (But is it swag when it's supporting a good cause?)

Why was Boris Johnson sacked as nativity manager?

He couldn't run a stable government!

Yes. This experiment will work if you make it your own. Customize your experience, build new ones, make a social network that can be controlled by the people who use it an idea we do not go back on.
The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

Assissted dying enjoys great support amongst the British public, so of course it's massively controversial and near enough 50/50 among our not at all out of touch "representatives" in parliament

I'll buy it if someone leaks the 2015 I Really Like You music video. 😂

What I find funny is that outside of asking farmers to pay HALF as much inheritance tax as normal people, and calling some people burning down mosques racists, not that much has actually happened under Kier Starmer, yet they’ve whipped themselves up into such a wild frenzy. Literally brainless.

Here's a little bus story in Rossendale that might've passed people by. After 117 years of continued operation, local town routes will see a new entrant into the arena in the form of Vision Bus.

Bluesky is powered by a 20-person core team, moderators, and support agents. Our biggest costs are team and infrastructure. Subscription revenue helps us improve the app, grow the developer ecosystem, and gives us time to explore business models beyond traditional ads.

Well, guess I'm back here now, I'm really struggling to justify my usage of X even though I'm losing a lot of people by ditching the platform.
