Decline, what decline? The myth of dying Europe

There is a widespread view that, by comparison with the USA, Europe is in economic and social decline. But, Zucman argues, it's not true

Only a little bit into it, but so far the fifth anniversary edition of the #BylineTimes is outstanding.

Rishi Sunak is a Prime Minister of a party that's going so far to the right that it's hard to envisage any sort of sense in the near or far-off future.

There are some plain and simple human rights that are under threat.

Would you like to lose any of these? I'm guessing not.

Enough is enough.

This country needs change.

I know some of the people involved with #BylinesScotland and I genuinely do believe the poll fiasco was an honest mistake driven by Birdsite Brain (ie the need to constantly produce clickbait for the algorithm).

I also find it interesting how all the responses *here* are accusing #bylines of being deliberately transphobic; while all the responses on Twitter are accusing them of being "TRAs".

Which honestly says more about the current culture of twitter than the #BylinesNetwork.

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone!

Looking forward to building up loads in the #Fediverse this year - especially with #BylinesNetwork 🔥

I looked up PeerTube - found the official join page was down and that the UK instance shut down in Sept 2022.

...which I was disappointed about as had been considering it for our #BylinesNetwork build in the #Fediverse.

@stefanf28 @BylinesNetwork Bylines Network is fantastic. They are a Mastodon pioneer, setting up their own instance for their affiliate publications. They are a model for others to emulate.
