Nice tribute to Ricky Hatton from Tyson Fury playing Blue Moon and using sky blue colours for his fight. Good luck to the Gypsy King!

It’s like watching the Man City of old this season… #TypicalCity but always #CTID 💙

Unfortunately, now hearing reports that the tree has fallen over due to Storm Darragh and has snapped in two. What a difference a week can make.

Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky The blue bird is dead. Long live the blue sky.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
