just did the age assurance scan with an image of my face for Bluesky... anyone else curious what their age was estimated at?! Kind of wish it told you - but what a can of worms that would be though!

This!
It’s a historic moment when the right wing opposition leaders in both Australia and Canada lose the election (3 months ago they thought they would win easily), and now both lost their own seats too. Democracy!!

Anyone else getting sick to death of Rory’s questions on #TheRestIsPolitics? When will he learn that sitting MPs, especially leaders, can’t be drawn in the same way has beens like him can? Always pushing for an attack line.

Interesting interview with @albomp.bsky.social - loved the reference to Dorothy Dixer (which I also got blank looks for ages when using it in the UK). But mostly calm centrist approach to a chaotic world. Would not be brought into issues with Rory’s divisive questioning. Sitting PMs need to balance

When Trump says these tariffs are “reciprocal” it’s important to know he’s counting stuff like VAT – which is charged on domestic products as well as imports – as tariffs, which no-one else does. Because they’re not.
So the numbers he’s giving are all nonsense.

This is systems. Nothing can or should be looked at in isolation. From economics to policy and everything else in between. Nature is the best example of unintended consequences
The annihilation of great white sharks has led to an increase in seals, etc, and an associated decline in the fish that those species feed on, illustrating the ripple effect of losing a top predator.
When will we learn?
Ecosystems just don't work without top predators.

This is interesting and impressive justification of changes to welfare. Too often opponents and media want to look at policy in isolation and what is discussed here is how different policy levers need to be looked at together.

Shame it is Sunday night to find free access to @thetimes.com especially reading more from Matthew Syed. This article hit a nerve. Many of us said this at the time and were ostracised and vilified. The silence of children’s charities the starkest. www.thetimes.com/comment/colu...

We need to be far angrier about the scars of lockdown and loading the next generation with debt
