NEW: Nigel Farage’s long-term aide George Cottrell had a secret Polymarket account that received nearly $20mn in cryptocurrency to place bets on Donald Trump winning the US election, at a time when he was providing gifts and benefits to the Reform UK leader. w/ @miles-johnson.bsky.social
People are so Capitalism-pilled that they see "user number big" as preferable + a reason Bluesky is "lesser" than other social media. But consider this: I don't want to be in a bigger, angrier, shittier crowd of people. I want to be in the smaller, curated, better behaved and more loyal crowd.
According to Similarweb (the source cited for this data), ~27% of Threads' alleged half a billion monthly active users came from Taiwan (or ~135M people) Taiwan's actual population is ~23 million
Christopher Mims@mims.bsky.social · 2d agoSo I guess either Bluesky becomes a nonprofit or we all start sharing our Threads handles on here…?
Well unlike all you snowflakes I looked directly at the eclipse and I’m fine 😏 Amazing how it made the whole world SO dark! So, when does the sun come back? 🙂

Holding WorldPride in a country with a trans bathroom ban is a bad idea
Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan@london.gov.uk · 6d agoWorldPride would bring visitors, celebration and opportunity to London. But that's not why I'm backing our bid. For me, it's about the message it sends: that everyone deserves the freedom to be themselves, and that our diversity remains one of London's greatest strengths.

Lauka Vai, Mother of Nightmares Too many projects on my plate right now but she’ll eventually lead a monster mash list for Soulblight Gravelords, whenever I find the time and money to get into AoS. Very fun to paint. #Nerdlings #FindFolkFriday

Clacton bin day leaflet, make sure the local Facebook and tiktok groups have a copy
Trans rights are human rights. There is nothing complex about it. There is nothing nuanced about it. There is nothing to debate. Either you support humans having rights, or you don't.
I am in the same boat on this, and I have no idea what to do, all thanks to Apple strongarming Patreon. Don't use the iOS app to subscribe to Patreons, just do it in the web browser, because Apple doesn't deserve a cut of your money for this behaviour (which is what this comes down to).
doc@docseuss.bsky.social · 7mo agoI'm begging you not to use apple products. This shit is devastating to creators like me

I’m very happy to be one of the writers who contributed a story to this wild game… A surrealist tactical narrative game? Who can resist that?

I've confirmed that the UK's new Sovereign AI Fund does no due diligence on whether AI companies use copyrighted work without permission before investing in them. It took me 3 Freedom of Information requests to find this out: 🧵 1/10
150,000 marched yesterday in London for trans rights. Opened the Sky News app. Scrolled and scrolled. Nothing. BBC News app. Nothing. Guardian app. Nothing. This is what actual silencing looks like.
Hey friends living in the UK, would you care to add your signature? Fuck these damn data centres.
Lisa Holdsworth@lisaholdsworth.bsky.social · 4w agoMicrosoft is planning to build three massive AI data centres in Leeds. It’ll drain thousands of litres of water from the River Aire and become the city's biggest carbon emitter. We can still stop the council's sign-off, but we need more voices.

it's genuinely a crime a that the acolyte only got one season star wars with wire fighting could have been a cultural institution like how the hell did we drop this ball
With the horrid new code coming in I'd just like to say if you're trans and find yourself caught short in Stratford Upon Avon you're welcome to use our loos. We're a private business and I can and will tell terfs to fuck off.
I call this "Trade negotiations gone wrong" He's double pointing.
Remember Streeting's review into whether young people are being overdiagnosed with ADHD, autism, and mental health issues? Well, the interim report is out, and there's a reason the media are silent on it (spoiler: it proves what a lot of us have been saying all along)
