Hello journalism friends. Do you want your news organization's links on Bluesky to look fancy like this? Get in touch, I can help. blog.euphonos.studio/3lyfwrx7zn222

The best news I've heard all day

I keep hearing how the rainbow palette is ok, actually. But is it, really? #dataviz 📊 #cartopgraphy 🗺️

I have to say, I like seeing people get it. I really do. www.aaronrosspowell.com/3mlqxgn3hzk2...

Such an awesome talk and awesome project by @teonbrooks.com

Such a cool demo of @passports.social by @teonbrooks.com at @atproto.nyc 💥

Bandcamp Friday begins in T-minus 12 hours! From midnight to midnight PDT, we'll waive our revenue share and pass the funds directly to artists and labels.

I maybe went a *little* overboard and turns out we're gonna have quite a few awesome folks speaking / presenting at our coming @atproto.nyc meetup, swing by if you're free! also already seeing some interest in working groups e.g. to make a website & get local communities involved :D

OK this piece by @reckless.bsky.social about why AI is unpopular among most people (anyone who's not inflicted with "software brain") is just solid gold from start to finish

Explained some details on how I run For You. The key ingredient is ✨tailscale✨ :)

Alrightttt it's on the calendar! Found a great central venue & excited to make this more of a regular *thing* w/ talks etc (ping me with your talk ideas btw!) + plz DM if you'd like to join a Signal chat for local organizers, could use some help w/ setup & planning future things :)

This story is crazy! The Jim Dolan had a Knicks fan obsessively monitored at games just because she was trans.

Phenomenon of homes being used for investment or 2nd homes is rare overall—but a major issue in small sections of big, rich cities like New York. Some areas of Midtown & Upper East Side have >30% overall housing vacancy, with a large share of that coming from homes being used as vacation properties.

I love spring in Brooklyn

Sol Cesto is a banger. Listen to @notquitereal.bsky.social and I talk about it in the back half of this ep of Side Story from last year. sidestory.show/12-the-succu...

The five boroughs are home to at least 47 varieties of cherry and cherry-esque blossoms, 15 varieties of magnolias and 26 varieties of crabapples, according to Parks Department data. Here's where you can find them: www.thecity.nyc/2026/04/08/s...

Spent last weekend in the woods. Saw many lovely things like trees, moss and lichen-covered rocks, the valley shrouded in clouds from above. Freshly full of gratitude for the planet we live on here.

Imagining some different worlds and what it might take to get to them.

I've been getting by on second hand ThinkPads off of ebay running linux for the past 5 years. It has worked out great, and I have saved a lot of money compared with buying Apple. It has really shifted my whole relationship to technology as product and to consumerism etc. Highly recommend.

Maybe we can call it the Black & Blue Marble? In any case, I wrote about the first picture of Earth from Artemis II: creators.yahoo.com/lifestyle/st... #space #moon #earth #NASA

Warning to open source maintainers: the Axios supply chain attack started with some very sophisticated social engineering targeted at one of their developers simonwillison.net/2026/Apr/3/s...

I can envision at least three separate businesses bigger than substack (in terms of actual value created) built on top of standard.site each with their own value props. When you go from moats to roads you stop building castles and start building cities and *everybody* gets a whole lot richer.

If all goes to plan, tomorrow night, a spacecraft with four astronauts will start its mission toward the moon - the first time since 1972. To illustrate the journey, we set out with a simple yet crazy idea: Let’s show this journey to scale. Here's the result: www.zeit.de/wissen/2026-...

Required reading for everyone following @kissane.myatproto.social’s awesome #AtmosphereConf keynote.

Come check out our #dataviz gallery in the NYC subway! We officially open next weekend but the exterior mural is up 24/7 for the next YEAR!!

Welcome to the new era of Anisota — featuring a hand-carved brand mark, foundations of an immersive game world, swipe gestures, & lots more. This is Anisota senatoria... A new, more peaceful kind of social interface that helps you be offline more and oneline better. Enter the forest: anisota.net

I’ve been a journalist for 27 years. I’ve reported major stories about mass surveillance, torture, war, the military-industrial complex, police black sites, etc. But this is the most important story I’ve ever had the horror/honor to work on. For it is a story about the current phase of a genocide.

Happy Birthday NORCO

Here's the thing: there is no going back to a different era of Twitter. This doesn't replace it, Threads doesn't replace it, Twitter doesn't replace it. That era is dead, no return, it was a very fun 5-10 year window or so that dragged on past its prime until it dropped off a cliff.

I think all coding agents need remote multiplayer support for collaborative sessions in the terminal built in. Hop on a call, go back and forth, watch a prototype come into view. Multiple people per agent, not multiple agents per person.

Perfect day in Brooklyn for a bike ride and sitting outside. After all these freezing cold weeks, a breath of warm fresh air.

Here's my Bandcamp Friday pick: Extra Stars, by Gregory Uhlmann intlanthem.bandcamp.com/album/extra-...

Today is Bandcamp Friday.

I made an animated map of ship movements in the Straights of Hormuz using data from marinetraffic.com. Ship track frames rendered using #ggplot, base map created using #gdal, video editing using #ffmpeg, video player written in #svelte. 🎁 www.zeit.de/wirtschaft/2...

One brillant idea here is to combine the inputs and outputs in the middle instead of trying to connect precisely the sources and destinations, creating an unreadable spaghetti.

Love that @puzzmo.com is getting in on the Atproto action

You have to mainline info all the time because our information tools make you do so. Infinite scroll timelines, group chats with no beginning or end, recommender algorithms with no sense of place — all of them require constant vigilance to make sense of. We can do better.

The cruelty and violence of this is monstrous.

today, we're announcing our €3,8M ($4.5M) seed financing round, led by byFounders with participation from Bain Capital Crypto, Antler, Thomas Dohmke (former CEO of GitHub), Avery Pennarun (CEO of Tailscale) among other incredible angels. read more on what's next: blog.tangled.org/seed

Happy BirdCast Day! The very first brave migrants are starting to make their way North. Tonight has 17 million birds predicted. By the height of migration in may we'll see as many as 1.3 BILLION birds on the move. It's one of nature's great spectacles! birdcast.org/migration-to...

Just snagged a remote ticket for #ATmosphereConf 2026. Even though I haven't built anything serious for atproto yet, I'm so inspired by many of the projects being build across the community. Its makes me want to get involved and make some stuff here.

I genuinely have a hard time understanding Anthropic's logic here. Even if you aren't staunchly anti-AI, it seems obvious that they built their models by stealing content and probably breaking the law in the process. When they start throwing stones like this, the hypocrisy becomes all too clear.

Exciting news! Bluesky's v1.117 update has rolled out more support for Bandcamp embeds—now you can play songs right inside posts! Happy listening 🎶

Don’t think people realize how much journalism has almost never paid for itself. The work of news gathering has almost always required some kind of subsidy — either by bundling, licit government support, or a de facto monopoly on local info distribution — and usually works in firms as a loss leader.

We visualize the Olympic medal count as Norwegian-style scarf. :) 📊 Check out how Germany looks like and generate your own scarf – including download of the knitting pattern.

The goal shouldn't be to get journalists and politicians posting on Bluesky, the goal should be to get them to adopt atproto. That requires different tactics, different products, different incentives.
