Pope Francis' passing led to a couple of posts about religion-inspired TTRPG which resulted in a couple of kind recommendations for ROSEWOOD ABBEY (thanks).

Look none of this is difficult.

The billionaires want us to hate each other. They're buying every newspaper and social media company to flood the space with bots and hate speech to keep us fractured and divided. And we could do that - and tear each other apart - or we could try to fix things.

This is the side issue to so many politically-based bot and AI slop accounts. The posts and memes catch the attention of famous people, who re-post them and don't care.

This is brilliant news for people who enjoy walking!

A giant thank you to all our friends, colleagues and partners who have worked so hard to save our paths - especially @ramblers.org.uk + @openspacessociety.bsky.social
