Great piece as usual from @samfr.bsky.social. I was particularly struck by this bit. 👇
Does anyone have an answer as to why the government haven't started doing this already? Official accounts are still posting a lot on X and cross-posting here surely wouldn't be much additional effort?

For the first time in a very long time, I enjoyed sitting down with a Sunday paper and ☕️. Joined by the 🐶 and sunshine ☀️.

So, doesn't look good, does it? But everything is going to be Ok, right @financialtimes.com ? Guys? guys?

👇 @law360.bsky.social isn't my usual go-to publication for puntastic headlines (that would be the @economist.com obviously) but I have to admit this caused me to chuckle childishly when doing the morning media roundup.

The world may be about to burst into flames but in other news, we bought the dog a jumper yesterday. I think it’s fair to say she was unimpressed 😂

Nice morning for a walk with the 🐶

👇 As exquisitely polite as you might expect from a grandee like Sir Laurie Magnus. But the plain text reading of his letter to the PM is: "given her family background, she should never have been in this job and you were a fool to appoint her".

Had a wry smile to myself reading this 👇 paragraph from @samfr.bsky.social’s excellent audit of his work this year: open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/t...
Sadly I suspect the issue is not that Sam is insufficiently cheerful, but that things are actually pretty awful right now. 🤞 for a better 2025.

So yesterday we put up essentially identical posts on Twitter/X and Bluesky and the difference in engagement was... stark.
🤔 Perhaps someone could kindly share this with the #FCDO Comms team? I would have loved to have been able to tag them in our Bluesky post.

So about this time last week I was excitedly emailing the @spotlightcorruption.org team to say that we had just exceeded 500 followers on Bluesky.
And now... 👇

A really lovely piece. But I am baffled by the NS web editor’s decision not to illustrate it with at least a dozen pictures of Henry Scampi. And for the record here’s the picture that convinced us we made the right decision too:

Nice to be in the top, er, one million I guess?
Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #702,655!
