One of the earliest “big” accounts that helped Bluesky grow and become a thing has been banned.

From the start he insisted users should decide what’s ok on here, and that management should listen, not the other way around. Now he’s been banned for criticising management.

This is not ok.

Dr Jane Goodall filmed an interview in March 2025 with the understanding it would only be released after her death. This is her final message.

To live to the age of 91. Still be travelling on average 300 days per year, teaching and advocating for a planet you know you have few days left upon, speaks most highly of a person. Dr Jane Goodall was such a person…

@albomp.bsky.social “if you believe in markets, you let competition in, don’t smother it behind tariff walls. Protectionism won’t sharpen carmakers. It dulls them, punishing consumers by stripping away choice.” Ozzies want cheaper, less polluting cars #Auspol #ClimateTargets

The call is getting louder and louder: Australia needs to join allies in restricting Chinese electric vehicles.

Quantico’s verdict: The silence that stripped Trump bare

Donald Trump has always measured power by applause. Rallies, ratings, and ovations have been his fuel, the noise that kept the illusion of command alive. But at Quantico, facing the nation’s military brass, the noise stopped.

Trump missed team building 101 & leadership fundamentals. You don’t attend your own party (UN) abuse everyone in the room for being stupid, bore them 💩 less & then demand they all sing happy birthday to you, with a smile on their face.

I am ANTIFA. Or so says President Donald Trump, branding me and millions like me as terrorists in the same breath he decries “fake news” and “radical left” bogeymen.
