I thought this was a fantastically well researched and sourced piece of journalism. The juggernaut point is in quotes everyone, and is taken from an actual statement from someone involved in the process, not the Guardian declaring it itself. Great work by @patrickwintour

And no knee caps

Saturday Roundup: Elon the Moron, Democratic Heroes, Gabbard's Threat, and Dawkins the "Christian"?

Well, unless AI can read the near future, many of these suggestions are not on Bluesky (yet?)

Perhaps it defaulted to X / something I hope not to do again

7. @marykissel: Former Wall Street Journal, now with the American Enterprise Institute
8. @charlescwcooke: National Review editor. The publication is firmly conservative.
9. @davidfrum: This is borderline. Was more Bush-era conservative, now more Never-Trump, but still within that broad spectrum.

4. @adamkissel: Former DOE official under Trump, now with the Heritage Foundation
5. @walterolson: Senior fellow at Cato, focuses on economics and regulatory policy
6. @clairlemon: more complex. Identifies as centrist, but with skepticism of "woke” culture

1. @robbysoave: Reason magazine senior editor, known for libertarian views, often critical of both parties.
2. @kmele: Co-founder of the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank. Posts align with that perspective.
3. @reason: Official account of Reason magazine, so expect libertarian-leaning content

I can vary between centre left and centre right depending on topic/mood/weather and do not want to be in an echo chamber so asked some AI support to find some “alternative” commentators on Bluesky - what do you think of the result? Thread 1/

Feels like you’re in good company here Ben

Facebook took away access to 40,000 plus followers via shady algorithmic changes. Twitter took away roughly 8,000 given I won't pay Musk. Hopefully that can't happen here?
