The humorous and charming moment captures both man and cat seemingly 'reading' the book together.

This shit needs to die a swift and very costly death so that no more idiot tech bros with no actual insight into the publishing industry every try it again. Horrible.
Bookseller article with the headline "New publisher Spines aims to 'disrupt' industry by using AI to publish 8,000 books in 2025 alone" 🤮🤮🤮

Fuck these awful, awful people.

Being on bluesky without fighting through a sea of bots and ads made me realize I don’t dislike social media, I disliked not being able to be social on social media

Oh, it's just lovely scrolling here. It feels just like my Twitter feed used to before it all went to shit. Interesting posts, political posts, funny posts, nerdy posts - and no Nazi posts. Blissful. ❤️

Oh myyy
We’ve put a lot of work into making Bluesky a healthier social network. This app is designed to give you a choice — in what you want to see, what you don’t want to see, and how you want to interact.
Some tips on how to customize your experience:
What @bsky.app needs is a clearer verification process for organisations and media. Strongly suspect that is what is stopping those big beasts coming here - but if that is provided I can totally see this App eclipsing Twitter for good.
