The surge in new Bluesky followers continues. Apparently.

My only thought for the Bluesky arrivals notice board is “it’s ok to repost more often.”
[my understanding is the algorithms (if there are any) don’t pick up on ‘likes’ in the same way as old Twitter. A ‘like’ is lovely, but a *manual* repost is the primary ‘algorithm’ to actively share something]

AN MUG WINNER! Lookit! Rob's mug from our last competition has arrived. Feel the weight. Be dazzled by the colours. Just don't drink anything out of it because whilst the guy who makes them assures us everything is fine he does have severe chemical burns on his hand. NEW COMP COMING LATER THIS WEEK!

Rutte is absolutely wrong to say this. Europe can't defend itself on its own, until it has to. What then? As Ukraine learned, you don't have those kinds of choices.
🚨🚨 #NATO SG Mark #Rutte is to my mind massively undermining European #unity and efforts to build up their #defence and #security in what I see as a statement which only plays in the hands of #Putin and #Trump. 🧵https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-defense-nato-mark-rutte-us-politics-threats-gdp/
Europe can’t defend itself without the US, NATO’s Rutte warns
The EU should stop dreaming of creating a European pillar for NATO and continue to build ties with the U.S. despite Trump, the alliance secretary-general said.

Today, we remember all the victims murdered during the Holocaust, and we stand with those who survived.
We also mark the 81st anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.
This dark memory must be passed to future generations.
Never again.

Imagine a paramilitary gang kills 2 observers over 2 weeks, then shows up at your home to say, "You, observer, we know where you live."
That's a death threat.
If it happened to me or a colleague when I was a human rights observer in N. Ireland, we would've lodged complaints with three govts.

One human rights observer in Maine said agents followed her home, blocked off her street, and came to her door to say they know where she lives. Her children are now staying elsewhere, to keep them safe.
Now in Maine: ICE watchers say federal agents are coming to their house to threaten and intimidate them.

Not the slightest reflection that being seen as a dumping ground for failed Tories might not be entirely positive.
Or that it might help Tories detoxify.
Or that Reform is ticking down in all recent polls.
