This makes sense - have seen a lot more activity in the other place recently. I'm not here any more but I have been over there for months and would love you to be there too 🙏🏻 https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/bluesky-signups-surge-uk-amid-musks-row-with-government-over-riots-2024-08-13/

Are you still hanging out in this "vast worldwide sewer"? Don't, imo https://www.politico.eu/article/paris-mayor-hidalgo-quits-elon-musks-x-says-its-become-vast-worldwide-sewer/

Here's where I've been since I left this awful place, please join this much nicer place, I miss your posts, even the 4/10 ones https://bsky.app/profile/bitoclass.uk

Popping in to remind you that there's a better experience to be had on Bluesky, if the X algorithm decides to let you see this amid all the riot-stoking conspiracies and Kamala deepfakes this site's owner is keen to push at you for as long as you stick around 😬

Anyone want my spare ticket to see @SELFESTEEM___ star, tonight only, in an intriguing, innovative play in Sloane Square? https://twckts.com/QAox

Nothing I've heard about the BBC's election night show makes me regret my decision to literally put it on only in a second room at my all-night party and stick with Channel 4 and Sky News in the room I spent the night in https://twitter.com/stephenkb/status/1810004914560467442

Watching LCD Soundsystem's keyboard guy playing All My Friends live at Glastonbury

Sunak's found a backbone and is suddenly laying into not just racism in Reform but also Andrew Tate! Where has this Sunak been for his entire career thus far and why did he think it was a good idea to hide him until the last six days of voting? https://t.co/8YKeWoVrcZ

Just when you thought the quality of conversations in That Room couldn't get any worse https://twitter.com/AdamBienkov/status/1806065401098367062

It was absolutely bizarre. Which members of the party are more senior than… its leader? https://twitter.com/hannahchrstina/status/1806057884788088971

Why did tech startup edgelords feel the need to reinvent something as standardised and well researched as the basic format of video captions/subtitles? Who wants to read one all-caps word flashing up at a time?! Exhausting

Landlords thinking they are *entitled* to steady easy money no matter what happens and it's legit to do pretty much anything to sustain that unearned income is so well illustrated here, and so ingrained almost everywhere else https://twitter.com/prstskrzkrk/status/1803470994616754238

No wonder K*vin Sch*field is all over the betting story, he was a lobbyist for the gambling industry for a few years recently (his X bio glosses over this, funnily enough), so he must be outraged that the Conservatives are allegedly trying to steal money from Big Gambling

Can't help thinking if I were Neil Kinnock, and had experienced a devastating last-minute election loss amid a scare campaign about which tax rises I might bring in, I might simply not have this conversation in public during an election campaign 🤔 https://t.co/0Aa2nS7Ejl

A friend was just Googling for Conservatives' achievements and… this checks out

Appalled to find out that, during @nsandihelp's own webchat opening hours, they don't have a queueing system to wait for an agent, but instead tell you to go and message them on a website run by a far-right billionaire.

Just embarrassing for these 'journalists' that they were just as clueless and out of touch as Sunak himself, almost completely missing this enormous story yesterday. "I suppose there is something slightly awkward about that", concludes Kuenssberg. https://t.co/m0vtiRJWvK

Can't believe I have to come back to this fash-run site just so I can share this video of Tim Montgomerie basically admitting he's just a government mouthpiece who gets told his opinions down the phone by No. 10 before he goes on TV https://twitter.com/BBCNewsnight/status/1798844486254223487

Just popping in to say Bluesky is really going very nicely now, good Twitter circa 2010 vibes, but I do miss those of you who haven't made the leap, see you over there if you fancy it 🤞🏻

I did it! I stopped checking Twitter! ★★★★★, would leave a site run by a hateful billionaire again 👍🏻 I'm now mostly at @bitoclass.uk on Bluesky, but also @[first name][last name minus penultimate lettr] on Threads (and Instagram) and @[email protected] on Mastodon

Called it! https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/15-behind-scenes-secrets-didn-070022465.html

Aha, OK, I'm accepting the #BBUK rumours that Jenkin's been nominated now I've seen it in this unrelated screenshot. And I'm going with my made-up explanation that those discussing never nominating each other last night were punished by having to choose one of themselves to go up https://t.co/do...

Going to start a spreadsheet of Westminster journalists with stats on how bad they are and put in some complicated formulae and conditional formatting, then watch them struggle to work out if they are in awe of me or need to destroy me https://twitter.com/politic_animal/status/1710358160475570519

The Conservative party is just abhorrent and this government is disgusting and I hope every member of every media organisation that has ever pushed, framed or buried a story to help their prospects one day suffers the consequences of those actions. (Yes I've been watching Sunak)

Thanks, @SkyNews, for uncritically accepting the government's absolutely nonsensical framing of this story in this news alert! Next, "All 40 new hospitals WILL be built, but 30 of them will use existing buildings, equipment and staff"

It's OK, there won't *be* many more generations the way this lot are dealing with climate change https://twitter.com/leighsus/status/1708867133210230927

I may be wrong (though I've barely missed any shows) but I think until now @djdebgrant hadn't had a day off from her 6 Music evening show that began at the start of June – not even in the week she also covered for @laurenlaverne on Breakfast! Hardest-working woman in radio? 🤯👏🏻

And in this case you only said you preferred pandas to llamas by 1.6%, yet she's taking that as a thumping rejection of ungulates https://twitter.com/aliclow/status/1708078527818428465

I think my favourite chant directed at L F*x and his fash pals in Honor Oak this morning (or, I suppose, directed at the police between them and us) is "Check their hard drives! Check their hard drives!"

New types of crime you can get away with if you do them behind the wheel of a car just dropped https://twitter.com/rpaton11/status/1706794380106121354

Seems like a good day to boost my pinned tweet

I think this year's #OpenHouseLondon was one of the best I've experienced, despite minimal preparation, and I think that's almost entirely down to the search improvements @OpenCity_UK made on their website. All I ever needed was a map of drop-in events on any chosen date! 👏🏻

Not saying SW-SE London transport links are bad but the smoke from yesterday's waste fire got to Lewisham from Brixton faster than we ever can

This email from @southbankcentre came an hour ago. Nothing has appeared on their Stories, Insta posts, Threads or Twitter. What is going on to cause a closure of the whole building on the day itself?! (School-style danger of collapse?!)

My and Lammo's tastes don't overlap that much these days but his contribution to music's been huge – and I actually owe him at least a few of my first Self Esteem gigs because the vid of her Lamacq session 2yrs ago was what made me so keen to see her play live as soon as possible https://t.co/11...

I hear little Bobby Tables grew up and got a private jet he was trying to use in UK airspace on Monday https://xkcd.com/327/

It's been so rare since 2010 for anyone high-profile in English politics to actually deliver some positive improvement to public life, in the face of hostility from loud c/Conservative voices, so let's enjoy this moment. Welcome to ULEZ, outer London!

Reminded of that week when everyone in Boris Johnson's government was resigning to try to get the message through to him https://twitter.com/SkyNews/status/1695472807507894708

I just happened to pause iPlayer at this moment the other day when I was connecting it up to the TV at work for something later, and, well, it seemed right to grab a screenshot for @daytimesnaps

Ahh another day of BBC radio news bulletins giving unchallenged airtime to clips of Trump and his most unhinged apologists, for absolutely no justifiable reason

Why have @TfL hugely cut back peak DLR services on the Lewisham branch this week without any notice or announcements or apologies? Hearing occasional users on here assume it's always this busy now and saying they'll avoid using the DLR in future!

Article trying to get someone cancelled off a TV show which approvingly quotes someone saying "at least we're not trying to cancel them" https://twitter.com/jester/status/1692469245450375168

Can't believe I'm still hearing Three Lions more than the actual @Lionesses song which is very catchy and performed entirely by people who can sing (eg Self Esteem). Why does no-one seem to know about it? https://hopefc.lnk.to/CallMeALioness

Can't believe I only made @wiilassie sit through a 5min BBC highlights reel on YouTube when there was a 24min option https://twitter.com/hannahchrstina/status/1691925316300648756
