Good morning ♥️

We're in lockdown because of the Malibu fires. Please stay safe everyone!

I'm not allowed to leave the house, which fits in perfectly with my elderly-recluse lifestyle.

♥️♥️

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight.

The class wars.

I just found out that around 20% of the neanderthal genome still exists today in living people!!

No individual person has more than 3 or 4% but we don't all have the same bits. If you add up all the bits we've found, about a fifth of the Neanderthal genome is still present on earth today.

Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.

A huge thanks to Bill Barr for choosing to stay quiet about all of this, just so he could include it in a book later—regardless of the harm it caused to the country. Truly disgraceful.

Most attempts to make the web harder to scrape will also make it less accessible. Hard to prevent static analysis without also breaking screen readers

It feels nice to not have to scroll quickly past all the fake blue checks pooping at the top of all my comments.

I’m here to stay.

It's an insult to my intelligence when an actor appears in multiple movies. You were just an elf and now I'm supposed to believe you're an accountant? I will not be played for a fool

Hey if you guys are really, really, really good—like if you don’t rape anyone, steal classified documents, obstruct the FBI, or attempt a coup—maybe Santa will bring you one of these for Christmas

Good morning ♥️

I’m thankful for everyone using Bluesky, everyone building on atproto, everyone listening to our message and sharing our dream of a better social media ecosystem that puts people first. We’re going to do this together — thanks for joining us on this journey!

Who else liked to get called on to read out loud to the class? I was like I’m going to read the shit out of this.

Thank you for 250k followers!

So grateful for the community we are building on here.

I think the wrong questions r being asked about the proposed tariffs. The real question Is how little will he accept from Mexico , Canada and China in order to be able to say the threat of tariffs worked ?

lol wow this site really is just ten times better than Twitter, huh.

People are like "It's just like old Twitter," and nah, I disagree. It's better. Old Twitter didn't have Starter Packs, moderation lists, quote-reply detaching, reply-hiding, none of that. It's better.

Wicked was really good except for the 1 year intermission I don't need that long to go to the bathroom

I’ll bet you 20 bucks that Bluesky will have more users than Twitter within the next 12 months. That’s crazy — but a GOOD crazy! 😄

I know I’m early, but patience was never my strong suit.

I want to express my gratitude for all of you that are sharing in this journey.

It isn’t always easy, but there’s comfort in our fellowship. ♥️

If you still have a Twitter or threads account, start encouraging more people to join Blue Sky, especially if you are European. Twitter (X) is being used to manipulate elections globally and suppress information.

Post at least once a day, encouraging others to join. #bluesky

Anyone, any entity, anywhere in the world can just pay him any amount (for anything he promises in return), and there's no disclosure of the payments, no oversight of any of it by anyone, and of course no potential bribery prosecution (of him) because... immune.

1/ We're experiencing a huge influx of users, and with that, a predictable uptick in harmful content posted to the network.

As a result, for some very high-severity policy areas like child safety, we recently made some short-term moderation choices to prioritize recall over precision.

Remember new users are coming on daily, unsure of engagement. The more posts you like and reply to, the strong the platform becomes !

One of the things I still don’t understand is how these tech bros can be pro-technology and anti science.

Makes me sad re-reading this amazing letter from ex-Watergate Special Prosecutor Archibald Cox sent to high school seniors in 1994 after they asked him “What should Americans learn from Watergate?” 20 years later in ‘94.

His answer is remarkable—unfortunately things didn’t work out so well in 2024.
