Why is Bluesky all about American news and hardly anything about UK news and issues? I have to really search for the issues I would like to comment on. Sometimes it comes up blank. I guess it’s not as international as twitter was back in the day when it wasn’t taken over by Musk.

I love the parallels from BBC’s The Americas new wildlife series. The bald eagle, America’s national bird can’t stand competition so has to ‘tax’ or tariff smaller fishing birds
