Never understood why some folks have problems with the concept of self determination.

The level of journalism in this country is pathetic

“Perspicacious, witty, excellent and sharply observed - an unalloyed pleasure” - a lovely review of The Forever War: America’s Unending Conflict with Itself from Christopher Sylvester

America's historical overload
The United States has always been subject to deep divisions – over slavery, over immigration, over post-Civil War reconstruction, over McCarthyism, and over the civil rights movement.

American authoritarianism has a surprisingly long history, which I try to excavate in The Forever War. It’s often been centred on presidential powers that were never adequately defined - gaps that Trump can also now exploit….

Ok folks @nickbryantoz.bsky.social has arrived on Bluesky. You will not find a better informed, thoughtful, analytical and absorbing account of how and why USA finds itself in its current predicament than in Nick’s books. Get yourself a copy of The Forever War and educate yourself …and follow Nick!

Apologies to fellow Scots if this image is triggering, but last time I saw a sports coach who looked as haunted as Gatland did at the end of that game, it was this guy

Gary makes a very good point. It’s been gratifying to get a whole load of followers from the new influx…however us long termers will tread carefully
Peeps. Serious suggestion.

Many people are in a rush to set up on here.

Those of us who are experienced from the other place want to check bios and timelines before following back.

So if you follow and have no photo, no bio and haven't tweeted, you are unlikely to get an follow back.

@brodiemcg.bsky.social

This thread @martinnutbeem.bsky.social is as good a ‘things to know for newcomers to Bluesky’ as you are going to get.

Thanks Martin
So you’ve decided to join Bluesky? Good for you, it’s a lovely place full of interesting, weird (complimentary) and fun folk. I’ve been here for a year, so I’ve put together this guide as a thread to help you orientate to the culture of the place. 🧵

@brodiemcg.bsky.social if you look at my profile, you’ll see a tab ‘Starter Packs’. Click on that and you’ll see 3 ( I think they are all the same ). If you click on them it should throw up a list of suggestions to follow.
