I wish this was somehow surprising.

4. Friends - I want to be able to define my friends more rigorously than just people who I follow and who follow me back. Those aren't really friends, they're acquaintances. I want to be able to differentiate my friends from my acquaintances. Let's get this done so we can kill facebook already.

3. Locations - I want a handy way to be able to see the things people in my neighbourhood (geographically speaking), at a local, regional, and national level are Bleeping about. So location based feeds, at various geographic scales.

2. Suggested new features for bluesky:
Enable users to donate to keep the show going - if it's serving the community well people will want to support it, allow them to. Don't rely solely on selling stuff. Also allow us to see (and display?) our donation track record if we want to do so.

Thoughts about Bluesky, a thread:

1. If it used to be that people tweeted on twitter, then does that mean that we bleep on bluesky? What do we actually call these?

Given that @chrishipkins.bsky.social knows about the possible difficulties this government faces when Winnie and Seymour play swapsies, one must ask the question: What is Labour doing to prepare for the upcoming snap election? We're not even 6 months out, Labour should be in campaign mode!

Vandals is too soft. It gives them a sort of whimsical air, like hooligans, or ruffians, getting up to a bunch of shenanigans.

They're much more insidious than 'vandals'. Vandals make a mess, these guys don't just make a mess, they destroy things, including people's lives. Damage.

Government's Marsden Fund cuts: All humanities, social sciences research funding slashed Cutting all research funding for the fields is a massive step backwards, critics say.

Fuuuuuck. If I had to describe this government in one word it would be: Damage.

Would raising some taxes to reduce government debt be an option? I don't know, just an honest question.

We don't deserve her. We have been naughty.
