My 81 year old father said he checks Bluesky every morning and he really likes the nature photos 🥹 keep it up y’all

Yeah, yeah, yeah new LGA is great but no bagels in the Delta terminal so that’s a miss.

Marty was a good boy 🤍

Real question: Is traveling 1.5 hours to see One Battle After Another in 70mm crazy or worth it?

Yay for friends and security!

I play a game where when the Final Jeopardy category is revealed, I guess the answer before you see the clue. Actually got it right tonight so in case more proof is needed that I’m a witch.

In case you were wondering why you needed to say you were old.

Rewatching Breaking Bad and I gotta say, this time around, I hardily agree with the “Skyler sucks” crowd

Inbox: 0. I would like a little treat now, please.

Have y’all ever heard of Wham-apocalypse? The last person to hear Last Christmas by Wham wins. I’ve already lost but want to make sure you all know it’s a thing so you can play. Happy holidays!

Did it again, folks. And yes, there’s sourdough in it.

I went into journalism to help people tell their stories. After working in broadcast, it was clear those stories were increasing told online. After a few exhausting years on the digital frontlines, I transitioned to protecting the ability for those stories to be told in digital spaces.

I've interacted with plenty of EU lawmakers recently, and it's not universally true (of course) but it is striking how many seem to take the fact that some companies are bad to mean the entire internet concept was bad. It doesn't need to be! We can build a better internet!

This reporting update is really exciting. I've seen other socials where you quite literally need to have worked in Trust & Safety to understand how to accurately flag issues. Clearer reports = Better moderation + conversation

Digital sovereignty in Europe without the cold start problem. Watch live 👇 @bnewbold.net and I are here irl. Come say hi if you’re here 👋

There are flyers around lower Manhattan to smoke a cigarette with a man named Bob from 2:00 - 2:05 on Nov 21 in Washington Square Park. New York is so back.

Sometimes going to plans solo works out because you are pulled up to the second row for a live taping of your favorite podcast. Thanks @karenkilgariff.bsky.social

I just spent wayyyyy too long looking for (and maybe creating) the perfect infomercial gifs for a slide.

What Zach is describing is basically how Bluesky works!

Burnt but important

Today was a nutty one but I would like even more delightful hours filled with intro calls, reference checks, and interviews. Okay? Think we can do that? bsky.social/about/join

Just remembered this exists. You’re welcome. youtu.be/fTH71AAxXmM

Almost as cool as when we were an answer on Jeopardy

y'all seem to really like baseball bsky.social/about/blog/1...

After years in Trust & Safety, it’s refreshing to be a part of a team that puts real energy and resources into healthy conversations.

We just crossed it. Yay! Congrats everyone and Happy Halloween!

Oh hi! You should check these out. Especially that Technical Recruiter role, there... bsky.social/about/join

The @bsky.app team will be at #EuroskyLive in force with @rose.bsky.team and @bnewbold.net. We're delighted they will be joining us as speakers.

Really digging this peep marshmallow of a new butterfly we’re rocking.

Things that are embarrassing for no reason: Starting a new job.

Burned dinner because I was too busy taking pictures of this bad boy

Fortune cookies are the original AI slop.

i think the only way for atproto to succeed is for us to show what apps can do when every app sees every other app's public data, and they share an identity system. no technical or sociological argument is as convincing as seeing seamless interop and the lighthearted competitive landscape it unlocks

D’Angelo. The first artist I saw at my favorite venue in my favorite city. 🤍

H&R Block said they'd get back to me "on the AOL," which is exactly the level of technical expertise I want handling my taxes.

Make sure to talk to your kids about existential dread

In the year of our lord 2025, why can I not easily hyperlink in the Gmail app?!

If you like clicking on links and looking at websites, try this one. It has text, colors, and even more links to click. bsky.social/about/join

Have had cats for ~12 hours and am already getting the can't-get-anything-done-because-they're-sitting-on-my-laptop experience

I'm leaning into my basic here but: This new Taylor Swift album is going to save me from Seasonal Affective Disorder this winter.

happy Q4 to all who celebrate

In all my reading about "humans in the loop" and people on the front lines of content moderation to try and make sense of my own experiences, I've never encountered anything as hauntingly accurate as @tochitruestory.bsky.social's chapter I Have a Rendezvous with Death in Racebook. Thank you, Tochi.

I've seen almost zero chatter about Fat Bear Week and I think that's a collective miss.

Yeah, I have dinner plans at 8 if we can work around that.

(7/9) Big Tech will always prioritize profit over people. Do we really want a future where only a handful of billionaire-run platforms control the social internet?

When I see Scott Van Pelt on my TV screen, I know I need to go to bed.

So wait, does this mean I’m not a cool kid for having invite codes anymore?

This is amazing news for the health and future of this platform. Congratulations @arodericks.bsky.social 🎉
