Hi 🦀Ben Houchen 🦀fans
Ever wondered what Ben's four Teesworks JV cronies are up to?
Well right now, three of them - Martin Corney, Ian Waller and Chris Harrison - have started trashing wildlife on the outskirts of Darlington.

The more this place reminds me of why I liked social media so much the more I realise that I stopped doing so a long time ago. It’s extraordinary what happened. The volume & violence of posts from accounts you had never shown the slightest interest in just exploded. It *must* have been deliberate.

Hi🦀 #BenHouchen 🦀fans
Ben reckons that the Darlington station refurb is 'on track' to be completed by the end of the S&DR bicentenary year in 2025.
He wants us to forget that the Hartlepool job over-ran by a year, and Middlesbrough still isn't finished

Is anyone who isn't a crazed right winger or bot still left on there? Place must be a screaming echo chamber by now...
As 🦋 spins faster (going to be 17 million in a few hours) the eXodus is real
As @iandunt.bsky.social says
“it’s giving us a sense of agency. Most of us didn’t even have a vote at the US election, we just had to live with the consequences.”

Extremely welcome. This needs to be a place with broad political participation if it's going to replace Twitter.
By my reckoning, @benobesejecty.bsky.social is the first Conservative MP on @bsky.app - a very welcome development

Well, less than 24 hours in and this is a breath of fresh air (no pun intended)
Only downside is the lack of grassroots/local politics and news for the Teesside/North East area.
Has anyone got any recommendations for accounts to follow?

1/ I had foreseen this - the EU Commission’s delay in making a final decision on its investigation of X under Digital Services Act is sus.
Two alternatives to regulatory action:
1 see my thread last night about private enforcement of tech law
2 we can just *leave* his fucking far right platform

This is a *very* interesting turn of events, in which Vance threatens Europe with a nuclear holocaust at the hands of Russia/China etc. if we don't allow Musk to continue to abuse EU law with his appallingy offensive organ (Twitter).
