In the general bon homie of this place & in the spirit of following back, I will, though, unfollow immediately if you DM me straight after I have followed back - as I have just done with 3 men. Let’s start as we mean to go - in friendly open ways. Thanks.

Good. Standards are being maintained. Tate has his mates on X to twit to. Birds of a feather …

We’re part of a movement! Be the change. ✨

@leannewood.bsky.social Are you following people back on here or just asking for followers?

Wonderful, Seán! Bravo! ✨

Twitter is dead. Long live BlueSky. iandunt.substack.com/p/twitter-is...

Yes! Exactly!

The Age of Unreason Never in human history have we had greater knowledge, more advanced science, higher abilities to wipe out disease & protect the immunosuppressed. That this bear-napper runs the FDA is truly an Age of Knowing Ignorance

Thanks for the Bluesky user counter link. That is so heartening! #bethechange

We are part of the change!

Thanks Mike. Check this out! 🔽

It’s worth joining these, or some of them. Be the positive change!

Good article. I’ve just read it again after yet another acquaintance has fallen under the spell of conspiracy theories. He fits the ‘new age’ type that James Ball writes about here.

Ever feel like latibulating?

Oh boy … 😵‍💫

Hurrah! Susie Dent has arrived with her Word of the Day! 💖

Hi Bluesky! Does anyone know why I'm getting the message 'invalid handle' on my profile? I thought I had set everything up correctly, but ... clearly not. Advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Who knows - maybe that’s his plan! On the other hand, isn’t Trump Putin’s useful puppet-fool?

Musk must be noticing this exodus away from X. The Guardian leaving may encourage other decent media outlets to do likewise. It will turn X into a total ‘has been’ wasteland - which is what Musk deserves. He killed it himself. I’m proud of everyone who left. Bravo! There is still hope. 👏

We’re part of a phenomenon!

@bertybasset.bsky.social Hello Mr Peryglus! 😍👍

Hello Bluesky people! I deactivated my Twitter (X) account because Musk uses it for his propaganda. He has ruined it. I’m on Threads, Facebook and now here too. Adra ydi Ynys Môn, Cymru.
