Bluesky still hasn't got the Algo right.
My #FYP is full of baseball and football and hockey posts but not one - NOT ONE - post about the #Ashes.
My Reddit is lighting up! FB and Insta are reluctantly giving me cricket posts from friends but Bluesky eems to think I live in WA or wherever.

Ayup.
Antisemitism is a lot like Qanon child abuse conspiracies in that there’s this real and bad phenomenon and, parallel to that, what can only be described as a large scale mass psychosis about a mostly fictional version of the same phenomenon

Book 23 of 2025. The Ferryman by Justin Cronin. In the genre of 'Utopian Island is actually not a utopia' this is closer to Ishiguro's 'Never Let Me Go' than Michael Bay's 'The Island' but still can't escape the tired trope of the genre. Too many plot conveniences but overall well written. #booksky

Literal fog of war.
Russian forces are exploiting heavy fog and poor weather to push light vehicles into southern Pokrovsk. Ukrainian sources confirm the conditions are hampering drone operations, making it harder to spot and strike Russian movements.

Kim Davis is the human equivalent of a pop up on a suspicious website that you have to keep hitting 'no' on. They're just waiting for the accidental 'yes' and then things go bad.
Happy "Fuck you, Kim Davis Day" to all who celebrate.

So after receiving an overwhelming mandate for change and to oppose the GOP agenda on Tuesday, the Senate Democrats move to capitulate to the GOP agenda?
