It's probably safe to announce that Mastodon didn't really catch on. It was a fun time, but still ended up being a bit of a failed state. (Which is sad).

Anyway, I'm probably going to be more active over on BSky. Come give me a follow over there:

House purchasing in the UK introduces you to a whole new foreign language you're unprepared for.

Mate, if you're asking for a "fed bank statement", you're going to get a photo of a bank statement with a Gregg's sausage roll next to it.

Four Lessons on Policy Engagement from the TIP/MPG ‘New Media, Old Media’ Workshop | The Political Studies Association (PSA)

The latest TIP/MPG workshop uncovered many great tips to policy engagement - directly from policy makers themselves. Here we go into four lesser-known bits of advice on policy engagement discovered on the day. On January 19th, the Technology, Internet, & Policy (TIP) and the Media Politics Group (MPG) hosted our highly anticipated workshop that brought together a diverse group of experts to tackle pressing issues in digital and media policy. The impressive line-up of participants included representatives from DCMS, the EU Parliament, ICO, TikTok, and Reach PLC.

Spot the difference.

So glad my sister isn't on Mastodon. She'd murder me for this.

I have found saying "mmm - Peas!" instead of "MPs" hilarious, and it's absolutely killing my partner with cringe.

Bird site take: This latest round of just incredibly bad site policy has taken me to a very sad conclusion.

He just doesn't care when he's a hypocrite. He doesn't care if new rules contradicts public statements. He only cares if he can use his resources to get what he wants, often on a whim.

How do you even begin to hold someone like that accountable?
