Brexit may have made life more difficult for many British people, but hey, at least the passports are blue now.

(In case you don’t know, British passports were dark red when we were in the EU - in keeping with other EU passports - and when Britain left the EU, the government decided to make passports blue like they were in the olden days, because they thought this would appeal to boomers)

I’m not saying you do. I don’t use Twitter anymore. What I was trying to say is that I find the state of the world worrying.

I looked a Bluesky but I noticed a lot of MAGA people trolling in the comments. Maybe they can be hidden with account settings probably but I haven’t looked into that.

Sure. Maybe it’s worrying though that social media is splitting on ideological lines. This didn’t really used to be the case. Twitter was intended for everybody, so was Facebook, etc.

Maybe the divisions in western societies are becoming sharper and more bitter. That’s probably not a good thing.

People thought the first Trump presidency was a politically divided time, but maybe we’re now entering an even more divided time, given that social media is now fragmenting along political lines, more prominently than it did before.

And there’s the soldered RAM and storage, and glued-in or screwed-in battery…
