Hel is frozen 💙

@sianwils14 Thanks! Trawling through as much as I can! Quite strange to be starting again, but feels less tarnished.

@hctate1 I've just joined & gone through those I follow and some followers on here & sent messages, time consuming but there are starter packs set up by some people on Bluesky which I found helpful. Hope that helps. It looks to be as good a site as X was when it was twitter. Good luck xx

Joined b-sky. Is there an easy way to find everyone?

@JackDunc1 What's your handle? I've just joined

Severe Weather in Sicily: Flooding and traffic disruptions are affecting Messina, Catania, and Syracuse. In Giarre, 400 mm of rain fell in just 6 hours. Authorities urge maximum caution in affected areas over the next few hours. 📹 Via: @MrtnMrt

As the Arctic warms faster than the rest of the planet, permafrost in that region is thawing and releasing carbon dioxide and methane. A new international study shows the thawing permafrost has been a net contributor to global warming in recent decades. go.nasa.gov/48NI2bV

Nothing screams efficiency like getting 2 people to do 1 job that didn’t previously exist

@TristanSnell It won't be enforced.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy will have to divest their business holdings if they want to join the Trump administration, to avoid violating conflict-of-interest laws. So if Elon takes a job, could he be forced to sell his stock in Tesla? Or could he be forced to sell Twitter?

@BBCPolitics Oh look, she isn’t just a fish & chip shop owner is she. You have gas lit us once again.

Trump said we had a call and the Kremlin said we didn’t. This will be common going forward. We don’t do propaganda so you will believe something. We do it so you will believe nothing. Then you will do nothing.

So if it's a trade choice between: a) chlorinated chicken, plastic cheese, nasty chocolate and b) European food, beer & wine... ...I confess, I have a strong preference for the latter.

So you’ve got people concerned about parents struggling to pay VAT on private education. But those people never bother about parents who may struggle to pay for uniforms, school dinners and all that. But what really gets me is they don’t give a SHIT about the millions of families using food banks. Like you’ve normalised food banks, why not normalise paying VAT? It genuinely blows my mind the ignorance and the arrogance of the people all at the same time. Like c’mon now isn’t education equally important for every child? Clearly not because you don’t mind some going hungry but how dare we hold back a private education. Seriously what’s wrong with you?

@edwinhayward Black mirror did this. It was terrifying.

Soon, the face of war will change again. Just as drones have come to dominate the skies, so will they come to dominate the land. Imagine multiple-generation-improved versions of these dogs: much faster, more agile, more robust - and each crammed with detectors and explosives.

@reformexposed He could at least be consistent in his anti-pronounist campaign ...

@dave43law @MailOnline #Greed

Steve Baker blocks me, But thanks to (F)Elon, I can see what twaddle he posts. Roughly 100 farms fall into the inheritance tax band according to the calculations. The first 20 owners of that list all have "Duke" before their first name.

@paullewismoney @Moneybox @bbcdanw @SLC_Repayment @BBCRadio4 Will this be on bbc sounds/ iplayer for any that can't listen along?

One million former uni students are owed a refund on their student loan repayments totalling £184m. Have you paid too much because your earnings varied or your employer made an error? How to get it back @Moneybox with @bbcdanw + Steven Darling @SLC_Repayment noon @bbcradio4

@dave43law If his previous time in office is anything to go by, all his intelligence in other countries will now have their lives put at risk. This will probably be the cover story as there will be no American intelligence...

Just the beginning of 4 years of chaos where the world becomes more unsafe because of one man's ego #ToriesAreOut #StarmerIsPM126 #farrightfails #toptierkeir

THIS IS F-CKING SCARY: Trump's lawyer Mike Davis just threatened to have NY AG Letitia James imprisoned for continuing her fight to hold Trump accountable for the 34 felony counts he’s was convicted of. "I dare you to try to continue your lawfare against President Trump... listen here, sweetheart, we're not messing around this time and we will put your fatass in prison for conspiracy against rights."

Notice that it took 2 years for Merrick Garland to pursue charges against Trump AND LESS THAN 24 HOURS TO DISMISS THEM
