We left X and joined Bluesky because those against our parks said, “If you don’t like it, leave.” So we did. And now they’re saying, “No, come back so we can say mean things to you—it makes us feel important.”

To be clear, we do have plans for scaling, we just kinda expected more than a couple days notice before getting blasted with a million new users a day.
The team is rapidly deploying fixes and new software to adapt. More servers in the mail.

Parliament today passed the Government Bill to bring the British railways back in to public ownership
This is a fantastic move to bring a once thriving network back in to public ownership after years of decreasing standards under private ownership
Now... Do water.... 👍

Bluesky can suspend Nigel Farage in less than 36 hours.
But the Police can't question him over the riots he incited, even after 5 months.

How privatisation works (and Thames Water is just the latest example).
1. A government takes a national asset built up with taxpayers' money and the work of public servants over many years, and hands it, for a fraction of its value, to a private company.
2. In doing so, it creates a monopoly.

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss.
She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.
Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

Solar farms don't have to eat up farmland. Agrivoltaics offer a solution. Why is the UK lagging behind?

Energy and food: why is the UK ignoring agrivoltaics?
People worry that solar farms are eating up productive farmland. But this is not necessary. There is a solution. So why are we not doing it?

Catastrophic mistake from Scholz to appear to bring Putin in from the cold, he’s emboldened not ready to compromise. Western leaders should remember this is who we are dealing with.
Overnight Russia launched a massive drone and missile attack on Ukraine, targeting energy infrastructure. Most were shot down but some still made it through. Two people were killed in Mykolaiv, southern Ukraine, by a drone attack. Six others were injured, including two children.
