One of these things is not like the other.

One of our supporters shared this with us—people are getting creative tonight!

Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

I know there are too many fires to fight all at once, but the takeover of the US Treasury payment system by an unelected oligarch has to rank near the top. If you haven’t called your representatives to stop him, do it today. https://5calls.org/issue/elon-musk-opm-gsa-takeover/

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

Hillary’s email server would like a word

Yet another example of how X fails as a source for real-time information, a niche that Twitter filled so well. apple.news/AxFkhEJHwRN2...

I feel like reposting this daily. If you've ever sat within earshot of someone scrolling Instagram or TikTok, you'll realize that Carl was being overly optimistic.

Hey corporate media, Thou shalt not spend thousands of hours on one CEO’s shooting and only one hour on a classroom of children.

I know it’s dangerous to speculate on motives, but I can’t help but wonder if #UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson would still be alive today if the US had implemented universal healthcare. I know a lot of other people would be.

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size. At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

Those of us who got our first introduction to programming through BASIC owe a huge thanks to Thomas Kurtz, who passed away last week. computerhistory.org/blog/in-memo...

Based on my experience raising a teenager in 2024, I suspect one day we’ll look back on social media as the lead paint of their generation.

Come on, Ohio. Be better.

Vaccines are one of the most important inventions humans have ever made. Period.

If you miss TweetDeck and other multicolumn apps and want a similarly good experience on BlueSky, @deck.blue is a really nice option (and the solo developer @gildaswise.com who built it is looking for work if anyone is hiring).

I joined Twitter way back in early 2007, when there were only about 50,000 active users. Once it became X I knew it was only a matter of time until I left, but I thought the feeling was going to be bittersweet. I have to say though, clicking that Deactivate option today just felt sweet.

Being Bluesky mutuals means pledging to go down fighting side-by-side when it comes to war with the Tesla robohounds

wait why does the dept of government efficiency have two co-chairs

Good morning, Bluesky! 🦋 Starter packs are great— but do take the time to: 1) Look up fav influencers and hunt in their followers to find your friends. 2) follow back (as much as reasonable) 3) Engage in conversations It’s important to build real mutually-supportive & engaged community here.

I’m torn between wanting all of the accounts I followed on Twitter to make their way here and basking a little longer in the peace and quiet before they do.
