Second round of layoffs at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency definitely happening now. I've heard from at least two laid-off employees tonight.

X hoping to become the "everything app", more like a receptacle of filth and distrust. Of course, ad holding company Stagwell, along with Code and Theory is helping Elon promote it. These mercenaries have no soul, no morals and no integrity. adage.com/article/mark...

This energy.

Weak men cannot compromise. Weak men cannot build consensus. Weak men think that leadership means force. Weak men build nothing that lasts.

Hey Dems, plan better for the midterms in 2026. No gloss. No complex organizational apparatus. No fancy tools and technologies. open.substack.com/pub/jchrisa/...

"Virtue signaling"? Really Mark? That's rich. We deserve better than platforms known for their data exploitation, algorithmic manipulation and constant waves of psyop attacks. Reminder: Lights Out Meta January 19th-26th! www.entrepreneur.com/business-new...

Now that Meta has abruptly shifted their policies to the vulnerability sphere of disinformation and misinformation, the public needs champions of accuracy, trust and substance. Will these champions and news leaders arise from Bluesky? #journalism #meta #news #media medium.com/@jameschris/...

Meta says its fact-checking was "over-enforcing" and "limiting legitimate political debate". Guess "free speech" means letting politicians lie unchecked? Even more reason to move to Bluesky. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/01... #Meta #FactCheckFail #Accountability #Trump #TruthSocialFail

X's gravity is strong. I've been struggling to get my followers on Bluesky. People I follow on X are slow to migrate. I get it. Their followers keep them on and are part of the intertia. An updated article on the switching costs and an escape. #ElonMusk #Bluesky #X medium.com/predict/how-...
