If it says 'blocked' like this, does it mean I've blocked them, or they've blocked me?
Screenshot of the above post, but I can't see who Alex has quoted because it says 'blocked' where the quoted post would normally be.

Top 3 for me (all joint with 88%). A better outcome than I expected. I'm pleased. They each have their charm 🤍 (maybe I need to lighten up a bit though)

In part, possibly this www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
Falling birth rates Birth rates are, indeed, on the decline. To remain stable, populations must reproduce at a “replacement rate” of 2.1; in other words, each mother must have 2.1 babies. The US currently averages closer to 1.6. (South Korea, which maintains the world’s lowest fertility rate, had a rate of just 0.75 in 2024.) Experts are split over how to address this problem. The world’s population is at a record high, and immigration to rich countries could offset declines in fertility – but, as the medical journal the Lancet warned in a 2024 issue, “this approach will only work if there is a shift in current public and political attitudes towards immigration in many lower-fertility countries”. If countries remain hostile to immigration while their birth rates fall, they will probably end up with a shrunken labor force that is unable to support an ageing population.

Removing 'END RACISM' wording from the end zones? Reads like anticipatory compliance / obedience. Advice from @carolecadwalla.bsky.social comes to mind...

"Do not bend to power. Power will come to you, anyway. Don’t make it easy... WAIT FOR THE MEMO"

Received these beauties today as a thank you. How lovely!
Lilies and red roses tied in a bunch with cellophane around them. Lilies and red roses (the same flowers as in the first picture) in a vase on a white sideboard. A few Christmas tree lights reflect in the picture on the wall behind the vase of flowers.

Not sure about Bob's teaching skills either (that bit at the front is meant to be a lake)
Bad painting of a mountain surrounded by trees with a what is meant to be a lake in the foreground but is actually a muddy green smudge.
