The upside of brands having not adopted Bluesky en masse is that it's not fill to bursting LCD engagement bait. The downside is I can no longer post "@cadbury: which clown decided to take the little card out of the box of Roses!?" with the expectation that some clown at Cadbury will have to read it

I'm broadly in favour of furthering the body of human knowledge but wish that as a public we could sometimes exercise a veto, like "maybe right now isn't the time to wake up Shelob guys"

So glad for this article by Paulie Doyle on the 'Serious Guys' who flood our media with their repetitive and vacuous arguments in support of EU militarisation, ending Irish neutrality, US FDI and developer-led policy at all costs.

New Old Man milestone - I saw a band I loved as a teen advertising a gig next year and reached out to an old school pal to be like 'haha remember them'
Anyway we're going to the gig next year.

Now the Áras campaign is over, we cant afford to forget the Garda vetting story. We still don't have assurances that this information wasn't leaked by An Garda Síochána to harm someone. This is a criminal offence. AGS have form here and must be prevented from returning to those practices #spéirgorm

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time
