Leicester lad. Forza Gialarossi. Bit of a lefty.

Yes, I have a footballer as my profile picture. Mainly because I don't want to give a stranger on the Internet ammo to assassinate my facial features, but also because my job requires me to be a-political.
Far right govt likely in Germany in early 2025. France potentially about to follow them. Trump presidency to be confirmed in January and day by day, Farage seems to grow more popular and more accepted by the UK electorate.

I'm so scared of what the next decade will bring for progressive politics.

And on todays ‘I went on Twitter and instantly regretted it’:

- A tweet asking why a BBC news presenter is black has 20k likes
- Everyone’s complaining that a woman has won BBC Women’s Footballer of The Year (it was voted for by the public)

I get the political calculation here. I'm just gonna point out that the predominance of research into European parties' efforts to outflank the far right like this has found that they merely legitimised the far right's political framing and led voters to opt for the "full fat" version.

If you still have a Twitter or threads account, start encouraging more people to join Blue Sky, especially if you are European. Twitter (X) is being used to manipulate elections globally and suppress information.

Post at least once a day, encouraging others to join. #bluesky

Seeing West Ham win makes me all the more grateful the club sacked Cooper when they did. As I have no doubt Lopetegui would be gone if WHU had lost tonight. Which would mean us and WHU would be fishing in the same pond for our next manager.

If you're interviewing a Trump apologist in the UK media/politics sphere, don't ask about trade, tariffs or even NATO *until* you've asked about the coup attemt, the sex offending & the felonies. These people claim to care about all the things that Trump denigrates daily. Call them out on it.

last few days on Football Twitter, we've seen:

- women told they cant play in "mens" stadiums
- same sex parenthood condemned by the biggest FT account, amongst others
- another huge account running a crypto scam

But sure, we're all leaving because we're "salty the left lost (a foreign election)"

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.

I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Folks, don't panic over any Bluesky hiccups that are occurring. They have TWENTY full time employees. That's it! It's growing, they're doing great keeping up with the increased traffic, and they deserve a break. It's been a good ride here thus far, hiccups included. Enjoy the ride, bumpy or not.

So close to deactivating my X. Not used it since I've been over here but had the account since 2009 and it feels a bit like putting down a formerly beloved dog.

That is diseased and biting me whenever I go near it... but still a dog.

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

Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.

I heard that Andrew Tate tried to come stretch his awkward wings here and got banned in just one day.

Sorry, hate has no home here. Stay in the bad place, thanks.

Glad to see more and more people joining the eXodus away from Musk and his army of Russian bots.

Here's hoping Blue Sky can be a more friendly place, like old Twitter used to be 💙
