X has ~18m daily USA users. @bsky.app, ~1.5m.

Is it worth 20 MINS a day to proactively recruit and bring your friends, neighbors,relatives, businesses, anyone who is or could be a user, to @bsky.app?

If Bluesky ends up with more users than the others, you destabilize musk, zuck, trump.

Twitter wasn’t built in a day. But now that there is a reasonable sized community here at BlueSky, the next step is to convince freelance and news media to report and post here. Preferably here first.

-And also engage international communities and reporting here.
It's clear now that social media is a failure. There is very little "Social" about it.

We need to remove ourselves from this bullshit game played by billionaires with nefarious agendas for us.

This place had hope, but it doesn't have the traction on a global scale to make it meaningful.

Private Eye does an amazing job and love “Have I got News” particularly the episode with Victoria Coren Mitchell 🤣
Dire stuff from the Sunday Times. It would be funny, if the paper didn't have the influence it does. Via Private Eye

Today Guardian and Observer journalists are on strike over plans to sell the Observer to a loss-making digital start up and put its journalism behind a paywall. 🧵

I entirely understand why those most easily seduced by populism - the gullible and low-information voters - would feel they have nothing to lose by a thro of that dice.

Labour has a choice to make: Fix the issues now; or lose in 2029, and hope to inherit an even worse situation in 15 years >

#BeatlesWorldCup

If you're new to this: Each day I present two Beatles songs, we all vote for which is better. The winner will go into the Last 16.

So:

HEY BULLDOG
(a personal fave)

VS

I WANT YOU (SHE'S SO HEAVY)
(the reeeally long one off Abbey Rd)

Vote #Hey or #Heavy by 10pm.

Did you know BlueSky only has 20 employees?

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share.

We escaped hell to be here.

Thank you, @bsky.app & Jay Graber CEO (not a billionaire)

Thanks for that explanation, I was not sure what to believe!
Important context here:

● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)

● "a big farm" is 217 acres.

Now let's see who's angry:

● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres
A message from a REAL farmer who hasn’t been brainwashed by the Tories, wealthy landowners and the right wing media👇🏽
