Hi Anthony. I'm thinking about the term "Ridgeway". Walkers in the south east will be familiar with the Ridgeway national trail. I was reading that in Atlanta, a suburb is built over an Indian pathway along the ridge of the hill. Did people favour tracks along hill ridges for safety purposes?

Thanks for speaking up, Sian

Good call. Looking forward to Yannis Varofakis.

Very nice indeed

Carol, that is exactly how I felt. I feel I'm sufficiently informed by Bluesky, with just much nicer people to interact with. X is the epitome of toxic right now, and I don't see it as being any kind of level playing field whereby right wing propaganda can be corrected by the likes of us.

Thanks for just stating the plain truth. The Guardian's take in its headline article spun a very distorted line on it.

Agreed. Politicians should avoid it.

I think we can see what we're getting on Bluesky - which is no trolls. We don't really know what's going on behind the scenes with sites like X, but I think a lot of stuff on there is mass produced by extremely bad faith actors. The boss being #1

X is too toxic for me. Left there for here.

Isn't there any legislation relating to making racist statements in public - when it could be construed as "hate speech"? I thought there was.
