👀 In his speech, Burnham promised to set out different options for closer UK-EU relations.
Shortly afterwards, Downing Street did not rule out that these options included rejoining the EU.

A German court described Bluesky as a "purely chronological" feed. Friends, we've been picking our own algorithms since 2023. But it got the principle right: when users choose what they see, the company isn't choosing for them. Come pick a feed what's on yours?

A German court has explicitly named Mastodon and Bluesky as positive examples of social networks that could retain hosting protection. It gets Bluesky’s feeds wrong, but its reasoning about user control might be more useful than it realises.
