Thanks everyone for your responses. It’s as I thought - there’s no mechanism for undoing someone’s following of you.
If someone follows you, and you don't want them doing so (because you have zero connection with them and looking at their account they're patently following many people in the hope of their account gaining traction) will blocking them cause them to be removed from your followers? @support.bsky.team

“now in my local, having pints of…” is what it should’ve said.
Badminton was good. Considering my two injuries, I played well.
Now in my local Hank g longs of Deya’s “Steady Rolling Strata” - one of the most perfect hazy IPAs on the market.

I'd love to join in the debate here on AI, but I'm rushing off to play badminton where, due to my recent injury, I probably could do with some AI-assistance.

Band practice last night was, as ever, fun. We went over some old tunes we’ve not played in months of not years.
This included tracks by Depeche Mode, Garbage, Elastica, Moby, The Coral, the Charlatans and others

Home from a fantastic meal at a pub in a village about 20 minutes away.
I had Pork Belly Bites followed by Beef Wellington. All washed down with some Waddington’s 6X

This is an impressive, yet depressing, summation of Pam Bondi and her utter contempt for the victims of #Epstein and his long list of rich and powerful child sex offenders.
Quite how #Bondi can ignore the law and not be prosecuted for it, is a testament to how corrupt the #Trump regime is.

Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."

I’m currently at my favourite tyre place getting a slow puncture repaired. It’s the same wheel as I had a slow puncture in before. I thought the repair was may be failing, but it turns out that somehow I’ve managed to run over a screw with the same wheel and create a new puncture!

Home now, with a large cod-n-chips from Station Hill fish-n-chips. Eating it with another fine hazy IPA from Vocation.
Evening all.
I’m at my local, having played five badminton matches and won four of them (so the vibe is positive!)
Just met my mate’s (a fellow regular here who I always meet here after badminton) daughter who was a delight and definitely a chip off the old block.

‘We left with all of my children’ is a hell of a sentence, whilst giving evidence about the president’s mate, isn’t it.
VAN HOLLEN: Did you in fact make the visit to Epstein's private island?
LUTNICK: I did have lunch w/ him as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me as were my 4 children and nannies. We had lunch on the island. That's true. For an hour. We left with all of my children

This has the whiff of Project 2025/Trump playbook about it.
Create an artificial conflict, in an attempt to kow a university into obedience, then threaten obliteration for non-compliance. The difference is that at present, Reform are not the government.

This is pretty menacing.
Sarah Pochin wrote to Bangor's university student run debating society requesting that she attend to "answer questions from students."
When they said "no" Reform rolled all it's tanks onto the lawns and said they'll cut funding to the entire university if they win.

My heart goes out to our Olympic athletes right now — as they attempt to navigate an extremely difficult time to be an American on the world stage.
Trump is the worst of America.
These elite athletes are the best.
We can stand with them and against him at the same time. 🇺🇸
