I don’t take anyone who uses the Bobby Approved app seriously. If you want to burst their bubble ask them to read and explain simple nutritional label facts and watch them squirm.

Stadium games but for billionaires. Every sports team that threatened to relocate a city if it failed to provide a taxpayer-funded stadium has demonstrated that their threats were futile bsky.app/profile/wsj....

@kathryntewson.bsky.social I’ve been following patiently as I’ve seen this movie before. Waiting for when you go in for the kill and completely finish your opponent’s argument.

I feel like we’re going to learn an important lesson about using for-profit AI companies as our last line of defense against the killbots, but I guess the EAs don’t hang out here so I’m preaching to the choir.

I do gotta say that if anyone had told teenage me that someday I would be prepared to personally bail out an entire high school but the woman who made The Matrix did it instead I would definitely have been like “ok somebody needs their meds adjusted” What an absolute real one. Thank you, Lilly 😭

Dunno if it is because I’m old or if I’m jaded but emails like these appeal to me. Who wakes up thinking today is the day to shape the future of accounting infrastructure with ML?

i quit facebook in 2017, instagram in 2018, twitter in 2022. i had large followings there and lost a lot of connections initially but the ones that really matter socially, professionally and lovingly find a way - through work, of course. but you work on things that matter to you, that's showbiz baby

you have to deconstruct that. try staying off of it for three days and then reflect on what you missed, what physical behaviors almost made you break (or did make you break). reflect on what positive impacts it had. you have to be vulnerable, realistic and sit with yourself. don't post through it

I think the fun thing about the latest John Oliver episode is that he’s mainstreaming what has been common discourse here for months, in that if you’re a government official/reporter/someone who considers themselves a non-Nazi then what the FUCK are you still doing on X?

Not followers or "influencing the news" or whatever lol. I have not adapted particularly well to that version of the web but think even in its current form you can find your people. I've met dozens of people from Twitter and now bsky irl and they're all great.

A thing about the web I have a lot of nostalgia for is people just being online to fuck around and do their own thing and find other people who also liked that weird little thing together. Making five friends who you couldn't meet in your school or neighborhood but just vibed with your exact freak.

It’s understandable why many people continue to use X when we acknowledge that we’re all hypocrites who prioritize convenience over doing what’s morally right. Doing what’s right often comes at a cost, and many can’t bear the cost unless it’s convenient.

very funny to me to see folks who have no social media presence outside of twitter say you have to be on twitter to be influential

Even pre-Elon, Twitter never drove all that much traffic to @techdirt.com, even if it was *my* preferred social media site. Nowadays Bluesky drives a ton of traffic to Techdirt, way more than even old Twitter did (X sends nothing). Only site that currently sends more than bsky is reddit.

I know it’s naïve to even suggest comparisons anymore, but can you imagine the FBI director in any other administration taking a luxury jet overseas to party at the Olympics while presumed assassins are being shot at the president’s house.

Also the reason for this is because it has become very expensive importing used cars from America and Europe. You can import a new electric vehicle from China for the same price or cheaper bsky.app/profile/just...

will the prices that went up because of tariffs now go right back down? or are we now living with higher prices on some goods because of this unconstitutional decision?

it's almost like tariffs increase prices!

It’s super fucked up for those people who had their businesses destroyed in the past year. This has all been so dumb.

People talk about this stuff in terms of how much it'll suck for gaming and I hate to inform you how many MRI machines, X-Rays, all sorts of other vital machinery are just a Windows IoT Edition PC in a beige plastic box with a big magnet/accelerator/whatever attached.

A good way to burst people who are passionate about “organic” food’s bubble is to ask them where the seeds for the tomato, or any other fruit or vegetable they claim to be superior originated. I usually get blank stares.

I do not wish to be mean, but if I hear you in the year 2026 claiming that Elon Musk "saved free speech" from "leftist censors" I am going to question your judgment on pretty much everything else, because you do not live in reality.

A simple proposal for federal judges frustrated that Trump Regime isn’t freeing people in response to habeas corpus orders: Order that DHS bring each individual to court for their habeas hearing. If the judge grants habeas, the petitioner walks out free. Bonus: huge pre-hearing burden on feds.
