If you show up to Bluesky without following anyone, you'll be treated to a series of posts about art, music, and dogs. If you show up to X without following anyone, you'll be bombarded with right-wing conspiracies and white supremacist slop. It's weird which one is seen as a "political bubble"
You will not believe how many roads I've subsidized that I've never driven on!

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.
Nigel Farage just took a question from a 'journalist' at his press conference, who turned out to be his former chief adviser Raheem Kassam, who asks him why the media are being so unfair to him
Hi @gerryhassan.bsky.social will you be joining Pat and issuing an apology? www.reddit.com/r/ScottishFo...

Gerry Hassan@gerryhassan.bsky.social · 3mo ago"Celtic are a magical team" says Alastair Campbell. The reality: Celtic fans invade the pitch before the end of the game forcing the game to be abandoned. They then assault Hearts players. The result if we had football authorities worthy of the name the game awarded to Hearts 3-0.
interesting rewriting of history from the herald here implying that the entire scottish labour party didn't also vote in favour of the gender recognition bill before immediately folding and pretending it didn't happen
RDCK98@comradekenobi.bsky.social · 4d agoReading this, and thinking about the 2026 election where activists boycotted campaigning for Scottish Labour and LGBT+ voters held with SNP on the constituency and Greens on the list, wondering what on earth the theory of victory is from left-wing transphobes www.heraldscotland.com/news/2642848...
What is notable about pieces like this is they identify trans rights as a faultline, but I don't think I've ever seen a single Scottish political journalist ever acknowledge that for a centre-left party to take the grotesquely anti-trans position Scottish and UK Labour have is completely abnormal.

Scottish Labour's civil war is about more than just who replaces Anas Sarwar as leader. There are fears the party could be left…

Yeah, because we’re absolutely drowning in other ways of achieving Indy.
The National@scotnational.bsky.social · 4d agoAn SNP MP’s claim that a hung Parliament in Westminster could create an opportunity for a future independence referendum has been rejected by figures across the Yes movement
There is no world in which you win from the position of -Unionist but pro-Indyref 2 -Corbynite on the economy -Rowlingite on LGBT+ rights Congratulations, you have managed to annoy *everyone* in Scotland
Actually quite angry reading this. I know it’s a bit passé to talk about “why don’t politicians crack down on people not using headphones on the bus” but I think we do need to reckon with platforms that incentivise people to completely disregard the norms of civil society and get away with it.
TikToker faces police probe over secret filming using Meta 'smart glasses'

Why is there a male loneliness epidemic, we all *do not* wonder... When Playboy is calling out the ridiculous demands incels have of women, you have to ask yourself: when will these people ever learn they are being made more lonely, miserable, and hateful by the manosphere?
Playboy@playboy.com · 6d agoWhat are the incel men up to over on X? Focussing on a quirk of women’s bodies most of us have never even thought about before now. Our take? "Making women mad and getting likes from fellow incels is all they have going for them." Read now: www.playboy.com/read/sex/the...

Leo Hickman@leohickman.carbonbrief.org · 7d agoThe Daily Telegraph has raced through all five stages of climate denial this week. But this is, perhaps, the most ridiculous column so far: "Without minimising the severe downsides…especially on some poorer nations, many in Britain would enjoy the kind of warmer climate predicted by modellers..."
TikTok has incredible moderation team. Our InfoWars video about Multiple Horse Theory — the idea that there are many horses in the world and not just one — has been fully deemed misinformation and lost the formal appeals process. Confirmed by Larry Ellison: There is only one horse on Earth.

I remember someone comparing it to the gym. It's more efficient to move large amounts of weight with a forklift truck than a human being, but the point of going to the gym isn't that the weight is moved, it's that YOU learn to move the weight.
Charlotte Weatherill@ckweatherill.bsky.social · last wk.The point isn't to produce essays, it's to teach students how to think for fuck's sake. The minute you automate that, it's over. You might as well close the course. Which they're also doing. This is an attack on learning, and everyone is just shrugging.

i think some people have negatively polarised themselves and posted themselves into having to defend clearly nonsensical things. it is obviously absurd for a party leader to share a post with their political opponent's name next to a guillotine. he isn't a 19 year old twitter user any more.

The stranglehold the rightwing and far right have on our politics is absurd. Not a single policy or idea that benefits the country. A wild aversion to tax, immigration, NetZero, the EU.. trapping us in a dismal dead-end, unable to make progress for fear of the DailyMail demographic losing its shit.
