Probably the only time I was grateful for a MTG tweet.

UK must choose between EU and Trump, trade experts warn Pascal Lamy, former head of the WTO, says Britain will have to take sides if new US administration slaps hefty tariffs on imports, as fears grow over possible trade war

While mini-Trump, Boris Johnson only managed to get the UK to leave Europe, Trump’s version of Brexit is much much bigger, of course- he intends to leave the entire world

WTF is going on here at Blue Sky? People are civil to each other. People having intelligent discussions. People are spelling things correctly. I haven’t seen any racism or sexism.

I’m confused.

Hello everyone! This is my first post on here after abandoning X at long last. I'm looking forward to finding a new creative community on here :) I'm sharing my favourite aerial embroidery landscape I've ever done for my first post here - 'A peaceful place (somewhere out there)' 💚

Thanks again Hilldawg

Shite right

at present, there are no atproto appviews that directly compete with bsky.app

bsky.app is (at present) simultaneously no-cost, and good. it's hard to compete with that! (there's little motivation to)

You may be wondering whether the original island of garbage line got front page coverage in the same way as the Biden remark at any point in the last week and the answer is no. One ref in a front page WaPo subhed where the headline is Harris targeting Latino votes. bsky.app/profile/adam...

Raven was told there is a 90-day rule to update your registration which is inaccurate, so she called Election Protection and they are helping her out.

Sorry to share a tweet, but this is from a friend who is not on BlueSky and got turned away from voting today for seemingly spurious reasons.

If you have a problem with voting like this call 866-OUR-VOTE to get help, they’re open 9am-11:59pm ET on weekdays, 10am to 9pm ET on weekends.

Puzzled why the Presidential election in USA is so close- when one contender is a convicted felon. Disregarding nutty arguments about conspiracies, there are a few ‘indices’, that help explain why the country appears so divided.

To go one further here, voting is important but feels futile, so you could balance that necessary but slightly maddening act of casting a ballot by saying “Fuck you Jeff Bezos” and cancelling Prime, which is it’s own kind of vote.
