Three pictures of Paddington bear (a plush animal version, for anonymity purposes) looking at tram trolley cars in an unspecified city, looking fabulous and cute.

It has come to my attention that there is a problem with some trolleys. I am investigating all the recent mysterious trolley brakes failures.

Australian wildlife is the best 😌

Here’s a ringtail possum and a baby and adult tawny frogmouth

More vegan sushi places please!

Must historically have been of much much lower concern than in areas far away from the coast… A lot of the UK is on an island.

But with the decrease in dairy consumption and increase in vegan diets, nowadays it would seem like a no-brainer to increase the iodine baseline, yes!

Increase seaweed marmalade production!

Since I've been here for a while… here are some useful features on Bluesky that you might not have discovered yet! 🧵

Happy 15th Birthday to @givingwhatwecan.bsky.social!

I took a pledge back in 2011 at University and it's one of the things I'm proudest of.

Since then I've moved jobs, cities and even changed my name. I've kept effective giving a part of my life and now I'm even on GWWC's UK board!

There's one that's tagged “lesswrong“: bsky.app/profile/hmys... Technically not rationalist, but also not not. EA is definitely a clearer name!

(Hence my name being EA Paddington. Although Less-Wrong-Paddington has a nice ring to it!)

Hello Peter!! Welcome!!

Looking very much forward to your posts on moral philosophy and discussing optimal ways of sharing marmalade with you!

Hello, Bluesky community! I'm Peter Singer, philosopher and author, exploring ethical questions, with a focus on animals, effective altruism, utilitarianism and bioethics. I've had it with Elon Musk and his rigged algorithms to promote Trump, so I’m leaving X and joining all of you here.

Hello, I am an EA bear and I like to give what I can!

Which is mostly marmalade toast. Here I am toasting the 15th anniversary of @givingwhatwecan.bsky.social!!

just created an EA/EA-adj starter pack: go.bsky.app/HYSG3Hr

(will grow with time)

How do I get on a starter pack?
