A Review of Pagecord - a blogging platform
I’d describe it as a simple, focused, clean and friendly blogging tool. If you’re looking for something to get the words on the page efficiently, and cleanly, this could be for you.

I must try harder to use Bluesky more often. Looking at my Discovery feed it's very American heavy. Not a major problem but wheres the rest of the world? 🤔

Apparently people are flocking to Bluesky since the owner of X became part of the orange man's political team.
They should have left the bird site eons ago as it's toxic.

#Trump kissing the helmet on a mannequin with the firefighters uniform on it is cringe worthy. He has no shame.
There are far more respectful ways to acknowledge the man who tragically lost his life.
Oh, and spell his name correctly too if you're gonna mock up a uniform for the cameras.

77 #whales, which beached on a Scottish Island, are now being buried across the island.
Such a tragic loss to the ocean.
I wonder why they were not cremated? In 250 years someone will accidentally dig up a skeleton and wonder why whales are inland. Very confusing
