How bizarre, the Bluesky app got iPad support yesterday, but NOT iPhone Duo support?

EE may have let me down, as may Apple’s pre-order availability… but the Cardiff Apple Store didn’t! 🎉

Thanks for ruining my birthday EE!!!!!

iPhone Duo preorders are the most bonkers I’ve ever seen. As far as I can tell, Cardiff had a single 2TB model available. I had the whole thing set up on Tuesday, but there were zero of that model to collect. Eventually settled for very delayed delivery, but EE may have saved the day!

You can easily oppose the barbaric war crimes of the current Israeli government without backing this racist motion, which also takes away agency and the right of self-determination from everyone in the region, regardless of faith and background.

The "zionism is racism" motion that has just passed on the Green Party's conference floor is truly gross, and deeply racist. The party's MPs deserve some credit for opposing it, though they should've done so more stridently and sooner. This is now a millstone around the party's necks. Deservedly.

I really should get on and build out the rest of this app… (the rest being literally more than the basics of a timeline and posting feature lol)

I’m saying nothing more @danschm.bsky.social

The polling company JL Partners featured in tonights Channel 4 News Exposé on Reform is the same one used by Sex Matters and LGB Alliance . JLP are linked to American Christian investors that hope to shape UK policy.

Look, if I were in the middle of denying I'd participated in a straw donor scheme to launder illegal political donations from inadmissible donors, I probably wouldn't want to be caught on camera setting up a different straw donor scheme to launder illegal political donations from inadmissible donors

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

I dumped 1Password years back when they moved from Mac-assed consumer software to focusing on enterprise - clearly made sense for them, but Apple’s Passwords was more than good enough. Now, with them funding the fascist Linux distro, I’m glad I’ve not been giving them money for years.

I do wish any of these pieces that criticise tax rises in favour of "welfare reform," would engage in the 16 year long experiment in welfare reform that has culminated in marginal savings and an increase (until recently) in child poverty. Truly, a mugs game. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

This is an inappropriate, credulous & politically biased BBC headline. The claims about savings will be sharply contested. News reports should not imclude what reads as an ediorial endorsememt in the headline www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Why does *anyone* do *anything* with WB any more? David Zaslav is a cancer on the entire entertainment industry (regardless of the merits of a Barbie sequel) comicbookmovie.com/fantasy/barbie…

Politico: "Binface won 12 percent of the total electorate — enough to prompt that by-election if there is indeed a recall petition" following the standards probe into Farage

Wow that’s some real sour grapes from the Monster Raving Loony Party about Binface. Sad!

I am so sick of this. Reach locally run 20 scare stories a day on benefit cuts on Black Country Live, cos they know fearful people will click This is based on Blunkett musing on possible benefit changes for Neets Not local news, not in fact news just speculation, headlined to scare. For shame.

I’m liking this “one nice policy a day” thing we’ve got going on right now! A marked change from literally just a week ago. If these sorts of things had been woven into Starmer’s time as PM earlier, even if they cost, he might still be PM lol

One reason why back in 2020 I thought Starmer should bring in a PLP social media code of conduct is to minimise the amount of, frankly, pointless hassle, that microblogging causes parties.

Oh Christ

Nandy staying as Culture Secretary is a big statement from Andy Burnham. That statement being: "I don't give a single fuck about the Culture brief".

god FUCKING damn it. Day one, and he’s lost me.

It should have been a point of principle not to give her a job. Aside from the economic stupidity and immorality of the crusade she led at the Home Office, she symbolises the political failure that landed Labour in its current predicament, without which Burnham would not have had his opportunity.

I just feel like constantly, endlessly moving ministers around – especially the handful who are clearly on top of their brief and delivering – is one of the reasons that our country suffers. Nobody gets the chance to learn their trade.

Astonishing that the BBC live feed is still showing their vox pops, instead of news on who’s Chancellor.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. underpromise and underdeliver, or not actually do enough. promise a lot, and if you get 60, 80% of the way there, we’re a lot better off!

Mel Stride can fuck off. I’m no Rachel Reeves fan, but blaming her for “wholesale mismanagement of our economy” and “leaving us with more challenges than opportunities going forward” is brazen coming from a fucking Tory, whose party are why we’re in this state in the first place.

Did we expect Lammy to go? Also, “I would have been proud to continue serving in Cabinet.” Ooft. I feel like he probably would have been good back as Foreign Sec???

Steve Reed will return in Avengers: Doomsday.

OK, here we go then… now the interesting stuff’s happening.

Me normally: It makes me feel squeamish when the government does heavy-handed, authoritarian things. Me when I hear Steve Bray: Send in the SAS and rendition him to a black site on a Pacific island.

Can we just give that twat an ASBO already?

Feel like you shouldn't really do the walking slowly up Downing Street shaking hands thing if you haven't just won an election

Fascinating seeing someone claim that the public has rejected AI slop, when if anything “the public” is its most ardent and passionate creator
