NEW RESEARCH about Bluesky on Bluesky: pewrsr.ch/4mDKCrx - 43% of the news influencers we studied last year are now on Bluesky - but most are also on X (Twitter) - 69% of left-leaning influencers; 15% of right-leaning ones - rate of posting increased in 2025

I was ghosted for a meeting, so I made an app. privilege-index.vercel.app It's my first app ever. It took me 50 min. Vibe coding is a thing, indeed. It's in Spanish + tailored to Colombian people. I'll likely refine it later with better copy + content, but I'm proud of myself and ChatGPT, lol

In 2024, a Pew Research study found that about one in five Americans (21%) — including 37% of adults under 30 — said they regularly got news from influencers: “It's kind of like the parasocial thing where it feels like I know them.” Read more: www.teenvogue.com/story/news-i...

I'm here again, wondering if I should learn Python🐍 when I know I have to.

Someone please write about Leo using the phrase “From Chicago to Chiclayo”

Oh look! It's me and my new AI and journalism gang 🚀✨

No hype, just a thoughtful, hands-on exploration of how we can effectively address the pain points in our newsrooms. Beyond the tech, I left with a full heart thanks to this brilliant group of people 🫰

@migueldobrich.bsky.social yayyyyy! So good to see you here.

Super excited to be part of this new group of AI enthusiasts! Let’s make AI more than just a buzzword. Let’s turn it into a tool that makes reporting sharper, audience engagement stronger, and newsroom workflows smoother. Let’s gooo! 🚀

I won’t be able to go to #ISOJ2025 so you people go and enjoy it!

Just watched Flow and now I’m officially THAT person who overanalyzes endings 😂🐈‍⬛ The flood was defo coming back, so the animals either: • Died • Got saved by the mutant whale • Were abducted like the bird • Survived on their own. This was not their first flood. More alternatives?

If you want people to use Mastodon, make it usable. Not everyone has the time or bandwidth to climb that learning curve like you do.

Hey, you! Yes, YOU. Stop and take a deep breath. Any tension in your jaw? Let it go. What about your shoulders? All tense? Let them melt away. . . . You done? Ok, cool, bye!

Not exactly how I envisioned my last vacation weekend, supposed to be relaxing, but here I am, tracing down my favorite US TikTok creators before the app gets shut down over there.

1/ The past 24 hours in journalism-audience-land have been a lot. Everyone’s talking about Meta axing their fact-checking efforts, but have you seen what The Washington Post just did?

Very mindful, very demure.

I always feel a little embarrassed when I’m in Brazil, and Brazilians switch to Spanish or Portuñol for me, but I can’t reply in Portuguese. Sometimes we even end up speaking English! Looks like I’ve got an early 2025 resolution. Time to commit to Duolingo.

I spent the past week in Brazil with the open data community talking about our collective future and how might we face it together. Super inspired. Take a look at Latin Americans whenever you need hope. #AmericaAberta #OpenAmerica

Whoaaaa, this IS a throwback!! 🌞

New side project unlocked. Not so new, really. And not a pet project at all. Latines out there know this is a vecindad 💗 I just want one in the Colombian countryside with my friends who meditate. ⛰️🌴🌳🏡🏠🌳🌴⛰️

Every week, another cool person I lost in "the shuffle" on the other site shows up here. @sarahseeandersen.bsky.social is here, and my experience just got better!

@carolynporco.bsky.social We don’t know each other, but your voice was one I started to miss when the algorithm changed on the other site. So glad to see you here!

As if I needed more reasons to love Bluesky. THE @meredithmeredith.bsky.social and @signal.bsky.social are here with us y’all!

Is the last week of November secretly the universal "finally squeeze in all the meetings we’ve been meaning to have" week?

I had no idea @aftermath.site exists. It looks so good. This is the type of social internet I was craving for. <3 you Bsky!

Are you a social media manager running an account for an organization or high-profile individual? Or do you own a website and want a simpler username? On Bluesky, you can verify your account by setting your website as your username. We just refreshed our how-to guide:

LMAO nooooooooo!!

Whoa, you can track newsletter read time with AMP within Gmail!

NEW: Are the robots finally coming? In our latest visual story, @mikepeeljourno.bsky.social @upyorkshire.bsky.social @samlearner.bsky.social @inari-ta.bsky.social @peter.andringa.me @carolinenevitt.bsky.social and Ian Bott explain how AI is powering a robotics revolution. 🤖 ft.com/ai-robots

Dear followers, I thought you were here because I followed you first, but it turns out you’re here because of... reasons. Either way, I just followed back, y’all! 🎉

SKEET stands for Spreading Kindness Everywhere Except Twitter

Another great starter pack: ONA members. Includes smart people working at the intersection of journalism and tech. Thanks to @mayrabaez.bsky.social for putting it together.

it’s such a beautiful thing that we as humans can see things like this in space thanks to machines we made on earth

Oh dear... Skeeters? LMAO Please fix this T_T

LMAO

Brazilians are the backbone of the social internet, and Bluesky is no different. So far, the main Latin American journalism starter pack I have seen is about climate/environmental journalism in Brazil. bsky.app/starter-pack...

LOL even when I go looking for starter packs, Bluesky gives me positive signs ✨11111✨

If you're finding it challenging to fall asleep lately for some super random reason, try this. It has helped me and many others www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7j7...

I still can’t get over how my face lit up when I logged in here. Seriously, that first glance at Bluesky felt like a breath of fresh air after making out with a 3,000-year-old mummy.

Spanish learners: Let me share a favorite word in Spanish—it’s one I've been using a lot lately. ✨Inverosímil✨ I don’t think English has an exact match for it. "Implausible" is close, but it just doesn’t capture that sense of “there’s some unbelievable shit going down” with the same flair.
