One thing that still sometimes freaks me out about Bluesky for ultimately good reasons involving the lack of an omnipresent algorithm is how routinely I discover a big account I had no idea was on here. Nigella Lawson is on Bluesky, posts regularly, has over 100k followers, had no idea.

After Starmer's 'island of strangers' speech, I sent a letter to @marykfoymp.bsky.social with my concerns about Labour's anti-immigration rhetoric and failure to address higher education (no reply received). If nothing changed, I wrote, I'd join a political party for the first time in my life. 1/2

Oh dear!
Have a good time on the other side of the pond

Buongiorno! It is Friday now (I think)

For saying that people with visible ‘difference’ experience racism / discrimination differently. Which is patently true.

Starmer loves suspending black when.

And ridiculously over budget!

Anyone else find it odd that the BBC is screening live aid which was to raise money for a famine in Ethiopia

But the BBC wouldn't show a documentary on doctors in Gaza which is currently being starved of food by Israel even though there's plenty of it just over the border which Israel won't let in?

Wait for the Roman "experience" with over 100 artefacts in it!

British homes: designed and built to keep the heat in Summer and let it go in Winter!

A pharaonic project that is not needed and will only benefit (maybe) those living in Sicily on an area prone to earthqakes

Stramash!
Is my word of the day

Classy!

The Great British Summer, innit? 🤣

Same problem here: the other day I was awake at 4.20!
What's wrong with shutters? They also help keep the inside cooler.
Only positive: I can be up and running very early at this busy time of the year.
I'll hibernate in Autumn.

The ILLEGAL e-bikes as you can read on the title and it is explained in the article.

Defending a country that has killed thousand of innocent civilians over the last 18 months and is being investigated for crimes against humanity by the ICC?

Well I guess we know where our government stands. Not that there was much doubt.

Best time of the year for a lunch break with a gelato, especially if it is a good, clean and fair gelato!

It's that time of the year!
Queens Road gelateria opens at 11am today.

Also cannot be emphasized enough: Barack Obama successfully negotiated the shutdown of Iran's nuclear program. It exists today because Trump deliberately tore up that agreement.

The deaths happening right now can be laid at his door.
