But please dont share this as a mantra for success. If your success comes at the direct expense of your colleagues because they are doing all the work everyone is supposed to share in, it does not make you ‘successful’ it just makes you a horrible colleague.

Rant over. For now

Scientists, academics, researchers: We’re excited to share that @altmetric.com is now tracking mentions of your research on Bluesky! 🧪
There are already many articles for which there is more attention on Bluesky than on other comparable micro-blogging sites, meaning the academic community and the general public have clearly adopted Bluesky as one of its core places to disseminate and discuss new research.

A Place of Joy.

In truth, every single major piece of legislation ought to be this somberly undertaken, this well attended, this carefully considered, and this passionately, but cordially, argued.

If our elected chamber can be what we witnessed today, why can't it all the time?

So happy to get new followers on Bluesky and discover they are real people! Unlike the bots on the other place...

BREAKING:

“That isn't how our system works”

Prime Minister Keir Starmer reacts to a petition calling for a general election which has over 2 million signatures

It is clear from the petition data that huge numbers of the signatures are not genuine

This is the best way to get others, esp journalists/politicians to join. It’s not necessarily ideological, it’s practical: a far better social media experience/way more useful for work.
Another thing I appreciate about BlueSky: Links to news stories don’t appear to be throttled like they are on other social media.

I can’t tell you how different it is on X now after so many people have left. I have always followed mostly right-wing accounts because I cover them, and they are running out of people to pick fights with. So they’re just mostly fighting with each other.

“The economic cost of Brexit, reliably estimated at around 5% of GDP and with a total loss to government coffers by 2035 of over £300bn, is unlikely to be offset by attempting to ‘make Brexit work’ – a slogan which rather confirms that it hasn’t”

Brexit – an unwelcome truth
Labour’s continued silence on Brexit might just reveal an unwelcome truth; another reason, perhaps, to use the Brexit telescope?

Trump’s vote share is now at 49.9% with some votes still being counted. Looks like his margin over Harris will be around 1.5%- the third smallest winning margin since 1888.

Trump’s win was solid in the popular vote and electoral college. But it was not a landslide and it was not overwhelming.

Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day.

Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.
