Hey @bsky.app, the KWS verification doesn’t seem to work. Just spins after selecting a verification method.
v1.111 is live today!

We've upgraded our Age Assurance system to comply with upcoming laws in Australia and other regions, and to restore access to people over 18 in Mississippi.

Plus, we fixed some bugs and laid the groundwork for improved "who to follow" suggestions in the near future.

I'm doing another ride for charity. This time 100km! Further than I've ever ridden in one hit. I'm sure it'll be fine. Yeah it'll be fine. I'll be fine.

Today is dollar match day, so would love your support.

I've been sick and haven't worn a mask this regularly since, well you know.

I forgot how much it sucks.

But no way I'm getting a bunch of kids or their parents sick one week out from school holidays.

Democracy Sausage
A real-time crowd-sourced map of sausage and cake availability at Australian elections. It's practically part of the Australian Constitution. Or something. #demsausage

If you ever wondered how much of Twitter is "the algorithm" pushing stuff at you, just visit another country.

Had a bike stolen but it had an airtag on it!
2 weeks later the airtag is still active at a very specific residential address. An address known by police and described as "a place a lot of bikes go to die".

On the Bluesky app I logged into a corp account by mistake. I'm logged out but I still get notifications. I can't figure out how to remove the account from my app entirely.

Anyone have any hints?
