It's more about ownership/control of the means of communication than the means of production. No strategy on its use is likely enough without control of the algorithms. If it's monetised with adverts, the same controls/obligations as for trad publishers should apply
The last 10 games could be quite tasty - of course, barring any new injuries or suspensions 🤞
Always thought it was the ground staff kettle that tripped the leccy that day 🤔
#NCFC Sainz 6 match ban starts today, playing the second choice goalie & a depleted midfield.
Only positive - Sargent in the squad as he starts his comeback from a long injury. He may get 10mins!
#BHAFC favourites, assuming the ground staff kettle doesn't trip the floodlights
Indeed - on three sides, the fourth is being restored/rebuilt now. The 20k plus was when it was mostly standing with the old Quarry Lane end open terracing. It's apparently the oldest professional football ground in the world 🤔
Indeed, for the quarter final with Leicester that followed the attendance was 23500. I found myself caught up in a collapse of the concrete perimeter barrier. The game was played with supporters ringing the playing area.
My greatest FA Cup memory was in Feb 1969 as a small boy watching Third Division Mansfield Town, beat West Ham 3-0. WHUFC had three of the England 1966 World Cup team playing. The weather had seen the 5th round fixture postponed a few times. Somehow over 20000 were at Field Mill that night!
Indeed, her pre-recorded announcement on the changes were a classic of this.
Afraid I’m with Anthony on this - I find him rather vacuous and his speech style is all rather ‘smashy & nicey’ … but then Mary Anne Hobbs also grates with me - so pretentious, so happy that she’s off the morning slot. These differences in tastes are good though, be really boring otherwise 😅
Would be nice to see a link to this Bluesky version, rather than (or even, as well as) the X link used in Politico’s emails 😉

Starmer actually doing a very decent job, calling out Musk's obsessive flirtation with the far right
The platform is a constant conveyor of missinformation and used to undermine European democracies to satisfy his ego
I'd like to see UK Government accounts now boycott the platform
So the first caller on Canary Call: 'I'm 55 and got so excited a little bit of wee came out...'😅 #NCFC the effect of scoring twice in added time to win ...
Cartoon showing Reeves at a counting house table cf Scrooge crossing off worthy causes for Govt spending, whilst a spectre of Farage in Pub bore mode as the ghost of Christmas yet to come looks on.
Frustrated by decisions which seem to be gifts for the populist right, especially our poundland trump. Nicola Jennings take in the Guardian seems unfortunately accurate.
Short #ncfc thread. Shocking indiscipline @ SoL. Unnecessary, petulant Sainz foul 20 yards out = FK for SAFC 1st goal. Winner followed sending off of Cordoba for 2nd yellow. They’re called ‘cautions’ for a reason. There could be subsequent charge for failing to walk straight away imo. (More …)

Nice easy question for Canaries fans… James Maddison had a leading role in the Spurs rout of Southampton that led to Russ Martins dismissal. In what season did Maddison and Martin play together in the same Norwich team? #NCFC

Indeed, can't be hard to parallel post - especially for a media team. Even announcing on X that posts also available on Bluesky encourages movement across. Was good to see some match time banter here last night, but still mostly go to the Wrath for that 😉

Interesting to see German football clubs migrating. Seems quality of engagement trumps quantity. Be nice to see #NCFC and others using the space they have on Bluesky, and encouragement by those on both to move across.
So, no VAR in the Championship, but cameras can be used for sending offs after the game is over 🧐 Still, Kenny is next available for the home return with ….. QPR (Dec 29). Could be lively #NCFC
I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget

Appreciate the post here without having to go to the dark side. Dr Dublin doing his usual great service on Wrath, but not yet fully over to the light for links.
