Project Hanuman is here. I hope you'll take a look as I think it's a pretty good space opera - no hero's journey here - this is about community, how we build back better and, of course, mind bending space battles in sentient ships.

Even more reason to keep this institution from succumbing to a decade's long attack from the right wing whose strategy is to create an environment where the rest of us hate it enough to accept its demise - the exact same playbook used against the NHS
Ruin it when in power and attack relentlessly

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

a reminder that you can be emailing the department for culture, media and sport to remind them the loss of right wing partisans at the BBC is good. Suggest they help the BBC refocus on facts, public service and, you know, stop pandering to racists and sexists and people who want to destroy them

It's genuinely worth a quick check of the advanced moderation settings as there's plenty I'm sure people would like to tweak but aren't aware that they can.
If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
