I've lost £700 in commissions this month due to my own silly mistake. I was supposed to opt into a private offer. The merchant had reduced the public commissionable rate from 10% to 1%, and then offered me 20% -- but I had to opt in. FFS! I didn't see the email... Gutted, but lesson learnt...

In January, my house is spotless, well-organised etc. Not because I’m on joining the “new year new me” brigade.

Quite the opposite.

It’s because I’m procrastinating from doing the tax return I’ve had 9 months to file. Could have grown a full baby in that time.

For Christmas, Meta deactivated my 20+ year old Facebook account due to an Instagram account I don’t own. (I can only guess that it’s been created via a dodgy app I’ve used). A bit upset about all the photos and memories I’ve lost.

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you.

All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋

We want Bluesky to be a great home for journalists, publishers, and creators. Unlike other platforms, we don't de-promote your links. Post all the links you want — Bluesky is a lobby to the open web.
Traffic from Bluesky's @bsky.app to @theguardian.com is already 2x that of Threads

In its first week on the platform & with 300k followers, Bluesky traffic from @theguardian.com posts is already higher than it was from TwX in any week in 2024, where the account had 10.8m followers, but🧵

People often ask me how to know for sure if an image was created by artificial intelligence. So I marked in the attached photo (in the red circles) some clues that make me suspect that it's a fabricated photo, although it's not possible to say with absolute certainty in this case.
