After #Xodus, I'm feeling both this & "#X" are becoming redundant!
#Facebook seems innevtible for:
- truly personal connections
- organisations (corp/public)
What's missing? -- focused purposeful interactions: reviews, opinions, advice, but NOT RANTS !! The solution for me is undoubtedly #Reddit

Another BC - bollocks to cancer! I was lucky to get the most treatable type (for men!) and doesn't seem to have spread.

Would FDR have done a minerals deal with Ukraine a la Trump?
Given, back in 1941, he actively considered taking possession of the Crown Jewels and Magna Carta in exchange for Lend-Lease, the answer must surely be: very possibly, yes...

Got the "One Chorlton" (preccinct) brochure.
Sure they're making effort to engage but the "you said, we did" is quizzical!
Does anyone remember the peak being NINE stories? - I thought it was 7.
Emphasis on housing MIX ignores the houses changed to another block of flats (current car park).

Airport expansion would wipe out carbon savings of government’s clean power plan

100 years ago today, Los Angeles invented jaywalking:
"On Sat, Jan. 24, 1925...disobedient pedestrians were suddenly "jaywalkers." It was not the first jaywalking law in the US, [but] it’s the one that worked, as far as drivers were concerned. And it is the ancestor of such laws nationwide."

Very much enjoyed #BetterMan by @mrrobbiewilliams.bsky.social
Reviews "neutralise" the monkey & praise cinematography, production -- I agree both, but miss the brave openness about #MentalHealth issues. Bravo, needs highlighting.
Do see it -- it's thought-provoking as well as entertaining 👍

This is now my primary social media -- but I use social media less (more selectively & purposefully) which is very good.

Isn't criticising @timemagazine.bsky.social for Trump just shooting the messenger ? - they're a news org !
Such rationale blames Doctors for disease etc.
