Real Madrid's new Bernabeu project is a literal game changer. Only really Barca's Camp Nou redevelopment will be able to compete.

What does publishing look like in 2025 and does Bluesky have a role in it?
I don't know and no-one else does either, but I've tried to make an educated guess as to what it's in store for journalism next year:

Pep delaying and delaying his decision on his future has absolutely had a drastic negative impact on his team.
He makes it all about him, on a pretty regular basis, in every aspect. Just like the performative post-match nonsense last night.

Reading a about how Bluesky is still 'miles away' from Twitter's '335m' users.
It's bullshit - below is every comments section. There's millions of bots interacting in precisely the same way; another reason why the thing is totally unusable.
People need to stop parroting patently wrong numbers.

Have written about the cesspit that Twitter has become, and why news publishers should get the hell out of there, to let the lunatics run that particular asylum
#Twitter
The Guardian is right: Twitter is post-truth, and sports publishers should ignore it
The platform is now built purely for clout and paid-for engagement, where controversies are all fabricated, and continuing to cover them damages news itself

There is literally no long-term benefit for a news brand to be posting on Twitter. It'd be like trying to befriend 4Chan moderators in 2015
The Guardian announces they're leaving Twitter (X)
“This is something we have been considering for a while given the often disturbing content promoted or found on the platform, including far-right conspiracy theories and racism"
