Vice President Trump.

CNN confirmed on-air just now that top Trump aides are furiously calling journalists to insist that Elon Musk has been following the orders of Trump rather than the other way around. As predicted, Trump is horrified and enraged at the idea that Musk is now seen as the President of the United States.

Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.

RiP John Prescott. Legend. Showed us how, if people from different classes and different political backgrounds can work together, then great things can happen. Where are the John Prescotts of this era?

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

This seems like a ninja move by China. Whilst the Trump administration is planning to flush America's global influence and soft power away with untargeted trade tariffs, China is extending it's global influence, by offering zero tariff trade to the poorest economies.

Seems like Blue Sky works best if you repost rather than just interact or like. So, for anyone who is somehow still unaware of the incredible @jongomm.bsky.social - you're welcome.
