Hey, not only you got to trade stock for inventory which may not have moved this quarter otherwise, but you get to account for both the income AND the stock! Whomever organized this is certainly getting a bonus from the finance department.

Hmm, I wonder what these country leaders who think being anti-fascist is being a terrorist have in common…

The most relevant new feature in iOS 26 for journalists, lawyers, activists, politicians, executives, and other high-profile figures wasn't really advertised to consumers at all. Rather, it was announced in a Sept 9th post on the Apple Security Research blog... www.privacyguides.org/posts/2025/0...

I have given up trying to figure out how @kiro.dev calculates requests.

Meditation may sound like a happy-clappy hippie bullshit, because you think you've got your shit together, but building up practice to be present, here, now, has more value than you can imagine.

This reads like a Peter Watts subskeet.

another instance where “fuck you, make me” is the optimal reply

Deeply authoritarian.

I missed @atbackup.pages.dev when it first came out, so surfacing it now for others given recent events.

More people should watch “Memento” before working with agents.

In other words, “corpos gonna corpo”.

Today in "This is why threatening the territorial sovereignty of our NATO allies needed to be an immediate presidency-ending scandal"

I am a little less optimistic: I strongly suspect the current institutions are mostly incapable of dealing with this new approach, and we may quickly - globally - end up with something unrecognizable. numergent.com/2025-09/Fast...

I hope that Disney gets punched right in the income stream for this pusillanimous preemptive acquiescence. If people aren't willing to take the least-effort version of political action and endure a wee bit of discomfort by getting their entertainment elsewhere, the world is fucked.

I signed the Harper's letter to show I was brave enough to stand up to the left on free speech. But I've decided that I'm not brave enough to stand up to the right about it.

We are getting a ton of clear signals lately about which subscriptions to let expire, aren’t we?

The old gods are dying, let's build something new. Canceling Disney +, Amazon and Paramount? This thread has worthy sources of news and opinion you can support, but also sources of joy and entertainment. Starting with Mike and Techdirt.

Something to keep in mind if your threat model includes the possibility that your phone will be seized by ICE. techcrunch.com/2025/09/18/i...

Critics are unhappy with the casting of a fourth Storm in the upcoming Big Trouble In Little China remake.

If anyone wants more done with private data - give to Blacksky. If anyone wants more solid migration systems - give to Blacksky. But also: Rudy can’t be our only wall. Doing the hard work of setting up an entity (not just a friends PDS) is what we’re going to need.

This is unacceptable. Devin, @graze.social’s CEO, has poured his soul into the ATP, and is responsible for TENS OF THOUSANDS of feeds across Bluesky. @safety.bsky.app bowing to the whims of authoritarianism is the highest betrayal of what Bluesky is supposed to be. Shame on you, @jay.bsky.team.

They are literally canceling culture

Impeccable hero image.

Announcing my new think tank

They're openly saying they want to sacrifice LGBTQ people and the planet to appease fascists. This is not only a losing strategy, this is morally repugnant. Every single one of these people should be ashamed, but we know they won't because they are amoral sociopaths.

And more importantly, who’d you like to talk to them as?

Does it mean anything to you that bsky.app/profile/rude... -- one of the people with a massive amount skin in the game, and a powerful both social and technical leader -- one of the most amazing possible picks for a user co-op, hypothetically -- Is still working with, not against, everyone else?

Eventually… ec.social-network.europa.eu/@EUCommissio...

The US government wants to own shares in tech companies and have seats on their boards and tell airlines who they can partner with. That’s not capitalism (or small government). Not sure if it’s China-style mercantilism or just greed and treating the US as his personal possession though…

Lovely bit that somehow I’d never seen before.

I'm working on a report on the causes of burnout in open source software. If you're a part of the OSS community, I would love to hear your thoughts, either here on Bluesky, or privately via email (see post). Thanks 😊 mirandaheath.website/report-on-bu...

Do. Not. RSVP. To. A. Protest. It. Is. Not. Brunch.

Some notes after spending more time with @openvibe.social: - No lists support as far as I can tell (you do get your custom feeds, though); - The fact I could have Bluesky and Mastodon on a single feed made me more likely to interact with the latter (I wouldn't bother with an app just for it); 1/

I’ve known a handful of true, honest, ideological libertarians. Not a single one of them would even entertain the compromises necessary to get into office. Any politician calling themselves a libertarian is merely putting lipstick on their aversion to taxes.

Americans never did like subtitles, so they’d of course just straight up remake Russian laws.

Ooh, @openvibe.social keeps my current scroll position when the feed gets refreshed. Sold! (Y'all still need to auto-detect the user's PDS, though, but free horse!)

Apropos of nothing....

Funny, I hadn’t thought about it until now, but I did not have to avoid seeing it here - I don’t think I even saw a content warning about it in a post! That would have been a mental minefield in the bad place. Chalk one up for sane environments!

Along the same lines, we need language for verbal political conflict other than just "disagreement." Kirk did not "disagree" with queer people, Black people and Jews, he explicitly argued that they should be suppressed and deprived of their rights through state power.

I know Charlie Kirk valued debate and free speech because he blocked me for fact-checking his lies on Twitter and then put me on his organization's Professor Watchlist for writing a book he didn't like.

/5 But if I am willing to go anywhere and tell anyone that black people don't deserve to be where they are, that Jews are funding the destruction of America, and that gay people should be stoned, does that make me a hero? Seems like a low bar.

I have a couple of comments about the "free speech hero" narrative about Charlie Kirk. First, was Charlie Kirk really notable for supporting the free speech of people he disagreed with? I haven't noticed that, though I could have missed it. /1

My grandma used to say "Nothing punishes you as much as your own tongue".

Yeah, that profile photo was from three startups (two acquired!) and a couple funds ago. This is from a talk last year. Even if during a talk I usually look like I'm telling people off.
