i like how "illegal in the EU" means it probably violated a human right and "illegal in florida" means it probably is a human right

I'm skeptical of #Bluesky because it's built on the same tech VC mindset that has been so harmful in prior generations of social media.

That crap shows up in my timeline every single time I log on.

Before you say, "my feed isn't like that," let me ask, "How many Black and brown people do you follow?"

25 years after Northern Ireland’s #goodfridayagreement, a recent trade deal could be an opportunity to return political attention to pressing issues of health care, housing, energy costs and inflation.

Kort før the Windsor Framework blev indgået, var jeg en tur i tænketanken med Julie Meldgaard for at komme rundt om de grænser Brexit genoptrækker. Jeg er imponeret over hvordan hun har klippet og skærpet mine MEGET lange svar på de komplekse, kaotiske og nogle gange lidt kedelige (hvordan fungerer fødevarehygiejne kontrol konkret) processer og problemstillinger, hun gerne ville vide mere om. https://vidogsans.dk/paa-graensen-til-splittelse/
