People here won’t want to hear it, but… 🇺🇸 Bluesky is ultimately US as well. 🇩🇪 Mastodon is somewhat decentralised and based in Germany.

I’m *not* saying to quit Bluesky. I am gently suggesting maybe simultaneously giving Mastodon another shot if you’re not over there already.

I've put something into a safe place and can't remember where that safe place is.

Great.

Just checking, it's now ok to flee your homeland, because you're afraid for your safety, and seek refuge in another Country?

Glad we've cleared that up. Let's hear no more about immigration and refugees then.

I've started and deleted this post a few times but I'm gonna post it today. I've decided.

In my own family I'm seeing how the wealth divide has fallen fast.

My parents just bought a new condo 2 weeks ago, so this has been on my mind as they gush about their fortune to their kids.

One isn’t allowed to say this anymore, but when I was a kid, tired-looking men simply did not exist. Grown men just woke up at 5 a.m., went to work, raised three children, mowed the lawn, fixed the sink, and still somehow looked like they’d just been lightly misted by youth.
Nadhim Zahawi thinks London is now unsafe, because the other day a tired-looking man walked past him during the morning rush hour.

I was expecting the drama to be the actual ice dancing, rather than all the stacking going on! Cannot comprehend the amount of pressure the dancers must have been under #MilanCortina

For those of you who missed our ace 24:1900 music festival last year, we now have two sets available to watch:

24-1900.live/the-sets-2025

You have the amazing visceral post-rock from Posh Inverse. Cinematic, atmospheric & emotive. PI will appeal to fans of Explosions in the Sky.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. One guy. This guy could be responsible for as much suffering and loss of innocent life as Musk, through sheer ideological apathy. He does not care and he is very serious about it.

People with this attitude should never be placed in positions of power.
In terms of what cures are being lost:

- Epstein-Barr virus is perhaps the major trigger for multiple sclerosis
- herpes simplex virus causes cold sores, genital herpes, infections in babies, deadly meningitis
- shingles virus causes an intensely painful disease

Chadwick Boseman and James van der Beek both died in their 40s of an illness that's treatable if a colonoscopy catches it but almost no insurer covers them for people under 45, this is what Engels meant by "social murder"

This is in no sense of the word an apology.

#RatcliffeOut
Jim Ratcliffe has issued a bland and generic statement about economic policy which does not engage at all with what he got wrong, or why saying the UK has been colonised has been legitimately criticised. Nor does he seem to retract his language of colonisation in gesturing towards a semi-apology

Hey Jim, you don't like being colonised? Is colonisation a bad thing? Wow, OK this is a great case for reparations, thanks

The most infuriating thing about this article (and why I feel justified linking to it directly) is that it's actually good, decisive journalism. It doesn't feel the need to consult the other side for "balance."

If only they had listened to trans people who were warning about this years ago.
