Interesting that we have now reached US-levels of FB gagging even minor government critics. This appears a disturbing attempt to suppress dissent by Chris Bishop - why else would FB take down this account?
I don’t recall the previous govt doing this.

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

Joyce Carol Oates is often tedious but time and time again she manages to deliver epic destruction just when I need to witness it. Remember, darlings, always cultivate your ruthless inner JCO. I feel inspired.

Obviously if it turns out she's a serial killer haunting the town of Cabot Cove I retract what I've said.
It's just genuinely nice to be able to like enjoy what she did without having to pretend I like who she is (I'm indifferent to her as a person)

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

Why stop at palliative care? Back in the good old times they bit a stick. Let's bring that back.
All drug use outside palliative care should be criminalized and possession of dealer quantities should be punishable by death without appeal.
