Just got back from a splendid evening with @mrjohncrace.bsky.social in the People’s Republic of Stowmarket. If you can get to one of his shows, do so - highly entertaining but insightful too.

Reeves has to go. We need a bold, imaginative approach to the nation’s finances and she’s too stuck in orthodoxy to motivate anything like.

Seems to me that Zelenskyy is willing to endure personal humiliation in the service of his country whereas Trump will willingly degrade the reputation of the USA in the service of himself.

Every year on January 27 in Warsaw, an empty old tram runs along the former Warsaw ghetto. She doesn't take any passengers to commemorate those who were no longer allowed to use the trams and were later deported and murdered.

Only someone with no understanding of liberal history would treat fact-checking and free speech as a binary opposition. The whole point of free speech is that it gets us closer to the truth. Where free speech has no purchase in the truth, its purpose collapses.

Discussing Bluesky migration in terms of liberal flight misses the simple fact that most people use social media for fun not influence and this platform, unlike X and cruddified Facebook, doesn’t feel like you’re wading through shit to reach your friends. It’s not that deep.
