Big news right now is that BlueSky has overtaken Threads - which I think may be a death blow to that app. The increasingly negative environment & extremist messaging on Twitter is pushing academics & LGBTQ ppl, in particular to BlueSky. A powerful group of early adopters IMHO.
This is really getting quite remarkable

• BlueSky user numbers have doubled in the past week and now total 3.5 million across US & UK 🚀

• Number of people deleting their X/Twitter account remains way up

And the next chart is particularly notable...

I have to say, The Burning Girls on Netflix is scaring the living daylights out of me!
Samantha Morton is so brilliant, as always.
Worth a watch if you haven't seen it and you like good ghost stories.
