I'm stuck now because U-Haul wants my Eurosky password but I don't believe I have one yet, and the reset process isn't working for me. Have emailed Eurosky support.

My transfer failed, so trying again today...

Good point. So you can get 5 in an American car.

The FDR speech on 7 Dec 1941 has been cleverly doctored. A must-watch/listen! 😀

I was looking forward to a nice surprise gift.

That reminded me, I had an email from Evri this morning to tell me they were going to deliver my package today. I didn't recognise the supplier and I haven't ordered anything. And now that email has disappeared.
So they can't even deliver emails 🤣

"Today’s OBR projections reveal two competing realities in government right now. The OBR and Treasury forecast an upturn in net migration, which makes their fiscal numbers add up – while the Home Office says it is determined to drive net migration down still further. They can’t have it both ways".

One of my favorite concepts is bio-emergence: the bottom-up creation of what looks like complex patterns of a living mind from very simple behaviors.

Each quelea is watching up to seven of its neighbors & simply reacting to their movements. The collective effect is like a single organism moving.

Just don't start any wars

Swapped to the euro bluesky server, relatively easy, made more tricky because of my self-inficted extra security doodads. Anyway, we'll see.

This IPSO adjudication against the Telegraph is quite something

Confirms their story titled: ‘We earn £345k, but soaring private school fees mean we can’t go on five holidays’ was completely fabricated, with the family involved non-existent and stock pictures used

New forecast: Over the next 4 years, the Treasury will be transferring £18 billion per year to reimburse the Bank of England for its losses from QE. Down slightly but still huge. Neither the ECB nor the Fed do this. Undoing this could free up £5bn per year for the rest of this parliament.

I've had a Google camera with floodlights for around a year now. Pleased with the functionality, I've mapped an area at the front in which I want it to alert me and switch the lights on if it sees people or cars. I don't subscribe so it only holds 4 hours of alert history.

If you're new to Bluesky and want to fill your timeline with some *excellent* accounts making lots of funny, wise, important, or thought-provoking posts from a range of backgrounds, please can we suggest the Humanists UK Starter Pack? ✅

Donald Trump has criticised Keir Starmer again over the UK’s refusal to back offensive strikes on Iran saying the “relationship is obviously not what it was”.

But is the UK public with US president? In short: no. New YouGov polling shows that by 49% to 28%, Brits oppose the US strikes on Iran...

Me at Fiction Fest, and the covers of four of my books including CRAWLSPACE, STRANGER THINGS: DARKNESS ON THE EDGE OF TOWN, STAR WARS: MASTER OF EVIL and STAR WARS: SHADOW OF THE SITH.

Very easy for me so far, mostly waiting, but perhaps I haven't reached your stage yet.

On the migrating back to Bluesky question I found this which suggests it can be done:

bsky.app/profile/seba...

Good point.

I realise I used a different email with my Eurosky registration, wonder if that will create an ID issue.

I think I'll go ahead at some point soon. I just want to check if there's a route back, but that won't necessarily stop me.

I think I will go ahead and do it, probably later this week.

Do you know if there's a route back if for any reason it doesn't work out?

Must admit I had to check the spelling of all 3, and the meaning of 1 🙂

How's it working out Rob?

Prompted by seeing your post I signed up for #EuroSky and have got to the stage of being invited to join and transfer my Bluesky account across. Wondering whether to take the plunge...

🚨 It looks like the UK government is gearing up to upend copyright law in favour of AI companies, legalising the theft of their work.

This is despite creatives' huge protests, and despite previous proposals being roundly rejected by the public.

Please spread the word.
