Two lesbians, probably. Preferably sisters. I'm just watching.

I’m trusting Adz on this. It takes someone truly innocent to say they use social media for “fantasy” as a truncation of fantasy football

I think you'll find they'll get banned pretty sharpish.

Apart from The Guardian my favourite is The Clifton Suspension Bridge.

On the other hand it's good to see the likes of Disney, IBM and Comcast resuming their ad spending on X after the election - who said big business doesn't have princples.

They need to get over themselves

Well I've been in Bluesky for a few days now, and it's really nice there.
The toxic hate speech from the so called patriots (neo Nazis ), is missing, and it's a joy to be able to talk to decent people in a civilised way.
It's early days, and it will take longer for it to have the reach of Twitter, but it will get there.
I noticed the official Leyton Orient have joined Bluesky too.

Some irony people is talking about free speech

X/Twitter - You can post whatever you want
Bluesky - If you post that only men can have a penis, you'll get banned....

Also makes me laugh people selectively choosing, everyone using iPhones and clothes made in sweatshops, supporting companies daily that all sorts of political or social views, you'd never buy anything or go out the house

But that’s not actually a summary of what people are saying.
The people who want to be able to say whatever they want have embraced the s***hole that Twitter has become, while it’s the people who want a curated space where some views are beyond the pale who have migrated to Bluesky.
There’s no irony there really.

That’s kind of the point. Most people do have to buy some things and/or go out of the house sometimes.
