@Selwyn1882 Very enjoyable 1975 reunion weekend thank you! But I do think you should be on Bluesky rather than this nest of Nazis...

@montie With respect, massacres of humans are the problem, regardless of their faith. All media organisations are guilty of under-reporting some and over-reporting others.

@sainsburys Just eaten part of a 'taste the difference' quiche. Shockingly awful. There is absolutely no excuse for a soggy bottom. Uncooked pastry inedible. How this sort of thing gets past your quality control is beyond me.

This platform has been completely fucked for months now. Luckily there is an alternative.

@MartinSLewis General taxation is the way forward. But more arms-length editorially/managerial. DG should be appointed by Parliament, not by No10.

@Infinity__Live @dominicyoung But it needs retraining, on material it hasn't polluted itself. Quality peer-reviewed, human-edited and verified material. Otherwise it's just GIGO bullshit-generation.

@dominicyoung Some of the proposals in the consultation doc seem to me to run afoul of Berne 9.2. Collective licensing, however, would work and that's where we should be pushing.

[Edward Barrow @ejoftheweb]

@CLA_UK Please come over to Bluesky. Is there a CLA response to the AI consultation yet? If so where? Seems to me that collective licensing is the best solution and that CLA is ideally placed to deliver it. Regards, a former employee of yrs.

@joncoopertweets Oh boy! You should have seen how livid the Brexiters were when they won the referendum!

[Edward Barrow @ejoftheweb]

@Smil3yAngel Go, been over there for a while. Only popped in here to archive my posts and shut down. It's much nicer over there.

[Edward Barrow @ejoftheweb]

@MatthewStadlen Xodus, a movement of the people over to Bluesky. It's a bit like Twitter used to be before the bots and the trolls and the terfs and the trumpers made it unbearable. People are polite, even when they disagree.

[Edward Barrow @ejoftheweb]

@docrussjackson I call it Xitter. But I now only use it to encourage Xodus, a movement of the people. Over to Bsky, for me.

[Edward Barrow @ejoftheweb]

@jayrayner1 you coming over to Bluesky soon? The Chancellor of the Exchequer, Nigel Slater and Nigella Lawson have all made the move. This site is a toxic hell-hole run by a racist ahole, time to move.

[Edward Barrow @ejoftheweb]

@pmdfoster im surprised you haven't yet joined most of your colleagues over on bsky though

[Edward Barrow @ejoftheweb]

@V_ForVanilla @reformparty_uk they're using the verb, but ungrammatically

[Edward Barrow @ejoftheweb]

@JM_Sievert Certainly do. Can't beat the feel of sundried sheets.

[Edward Barrow @ejoftheweb]

@theAliceRoberts whatevs but you should come over to bsky and stop supporting the muskrat

@BorisJohnson He said that Corbyn would have been a better PM *than you*, Not a particularly high bar.
