AT Protocol has a far, far superior identity model compared to ActivityPub in my opinion Having x completely separated accounts on x platforms creates a ton of frictions, whereas Bluesky basically offers an entire SSO system that does a lot more than simply authenticating users

What a lovely time this week at the 3rd Colombian Congress on Economic and Business History, where I met some brilliant researchers documenting the historical role of women in the Colombian economy. Thanks again to @julianajaramilloe.bsky.social, Edna Carolina Sastoque, and ACHEE for inviting me!

Good As he plotted with a known sex offender a plan to sexually exploit a mentee, this leave should be permanent He has proven himself to be categorically unfit to be in contact with students, at Harvard or anywhere else #EconSky

Why is Harvard still giving him power over students?

The revelations about Summers & Epstein reflect a profession that has tolerated exclusionary norms and hostility toward women for decades. The discipline cannot claim credibility while ignoring its own misogyny. We need to enforce codes of conduct and prioritize accountability.#Econsky

I very much agree Larry Summers has proven himself to be unfit to be in contact with students #EconSky

In v1.110, Bluesky now has a dark-mode app icon — for anyone who thinks light mode should require a content warning.

v1.110 is live! We’ve expanded post-reporting options from 5 → 39. This gives you more precise ways to flag issues and strengthens the signals our safety systems rely on. Clearer reports mean better moderation and higher-quality conversations across Bluesky. Learn more: bsky.social/about/blog/1...
