I have a teenage son (15) he doesn’t go on social media, his choice I’ve never stopped him but wow, he is a happy teenager. I have a teenager daughter (16), she does, I’ve never stopped her but I should have. She’s too young to be viewing the stuff us adults can barely comprehend. The ban is good.
Australia passes world-first social media ban for under-16s with massive fines for tech giants. Critics warn it'll make the problem worse.

No Christmas songs until 1st December. Probably the one rule I won’t ever deviate from.

You should all watch Between The Covers on BBC. It’s the good place. People talking about books, what’s not to love?! Adore hearing people talking about their favourite books, it’s a great way to find your next read.

I don’t know what Tony the Tiger had to do with Frosties but none of us lost our shit in back in the day so don’t know what his problem is.
The great patriot doesn’t like the new Jaguar advert, so he hopes they go bust. What a horrid man.

He’s amazing but oh my god it’s exhausting trying to wrap my head around it. Can’t help but think energy companies like it that way. When it comes to bills, energy is probably the most difficult to understand and I’m usually fairly good with stuff like this but this is mean and awful.

Needing F1 accounts to follow, trying to find F1 journalists and teams. With regards to teams, some good fan accounts but how many are official? Still finding my way with Bluesky, still loving it though.

I love Ian Hislop but it’s worth noting that most of us would balk at the prospect of publicly admonishing a wrongdoer whose conduct you condemn in this way. I did it once to the UKIP/Reform/Brexit twerp Richard Tice but that took exactly zero guts.

Playing detective now, maybe Richard Osman is on Bluesky because his lovely wife is here and their bookshelves do look like they’re ordered by size.

I don’t miss much about Twitter but I do miss the blue tick when it was a proper blue tick. I listened to The Rest Is Entertainment and it didn’t sound like Richard Osman was signing up for Bluesky anytime soon so who knows if this is actually him?
Has anybody on here done the World Cup Of Crisps yet?

Well this is all rather lovely. Struggled to cope with the other site, the terrible stuff that was pumped into my eyes/brain. I yearned for intelligent, well informed posts. Never knew what was real, that was tough. I hope I’ve found what I was looking for. Should have switched off earlier.
