How is Bluesky working for you? Have my friends here been using it? I forget to come here but I am planning an eventual full migration off Meta ... too much from AI second guessing me etc ..

Is Bluesky taking off, is it? Do my friends here use it a lot?
Facebook's still the main communication format with my friends (mutual photo, birthday wish, discussing films, recipes, flowers, world politics + private groups for work & private messenger.) It seems the most used by all the gens?

Last day of March, one hour ahead, a month of sun has bleached away the maudlin mood of post Christmas days. Spring is the best, except for autumn, And with discomforts of mother's day over, now comes the return of swallows, of freckled starlings, of swifts, of cherry blossom, tulips and chocolate!🌸

If true, what Labour front bench is doing is unforgivable. The #CANBill is essential & has backing of huge number of experts, scientists, unions & enjoys cross-party support. If backbench Labour MPs ever consider rebelling against leadership on anything, let it be this - a liveable future for all 👇
Labour MPs ordered to sink landmark climate and environment bill

A thing I worked on a lot has landed on BBC, "Boybands Forever.' It seems like everyone likes it click here if you want to watch: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/epis...
Boybands Forever
Behind the singing, smiles and double denim was blood, sweat and tears. Heartthrobs from Take That to Westlife and 911 share tales of success, adoration and the flipside of fame.
