I’ve finally set up a Mr Blue Sky account. https://t.co/vfdcsIudN3 rather than jamesgraham because unlike here I was not an early adopter. Seems like the least bad alternative so come join me I guess?

It’s been fun, but it’s time to delete this app.

The asymmetry, in asymmetrical warfare, is that the little guy can only really damage the big guy by getting him angry enough to self-injure

"[AIDS] is not being caused by a virus. It's not a virus... These people are dying because of 'poppers'... they were people who were part of a gay lifestyle... "

Netflix (2018): Thanks to stock value and a head start on streaming, we have more money than anyone to finance the white whale projects of Scorsese and Orson Welles, where box office receipts won't matter, only the art.

Netflix (2024): Wanna watch a YouTuber fight an old man?

If it can be proved that
it's not genocide
that would be a huge relief.
It would mean that it's only
a huge massacre,
mass killing
and widespread slaughter
In which case
it would be OK.

Erk. I think RFK Jr basically broke BlueSky.

6’9”? Maybe we should sent Gary Barlow’s son over there

By contrast, I detest Wes Streeting but absolutely think he has an obligation to intervene in a policy debate that primarily will impact the NHS

"I'm a great Wes Streeting fan, but I think on this issue he should do what the cabinet secretary said and just hold fire"

Labour peer Baroness Hodge tells #PoliticsLive the health secretary should refrain from intervening in assisted dying bill debate

get to know your new republican cabinet

[Lewis Goodall @lewis_goodall]

Just the most astounding couple of paragraphs.

Pure oligarchy territory.

[James Graham @jamesgraham]

And yet I realise that I still crave the connection that platforms like this provide. So the most depressing thing about it is, well, me.

[James Graham @jamesgraham]

As I mentioned a couple of days ago, I joined 🦋, but I find the excitement people have about joining a new platform utterly baffling (posting here because I don’t want to burst people’s sincere bubbles). Personally, at this stage in the cycle, I just see it as a defeat.

[James Graham @jamesgraham]

It’s not like I don’t see a value in a better moderated social media platform, it’s just that I can’t see how it won’t end up becoming a victim of its own success and turning into the cesspool Twitter became (not just due to the right, which is now on Truth).
