Warm shower, daily review & reflect, gratitude 🙏 These I can do 💤💤💤

Me: What I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired w/repetition over a very long time. Topic: 24hr urine test. AMA.

Thank you @jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social for articulating the Watergate-ness of it all. From Sir Harry Evans Truth Tellers summit today, reported by @brianstelter.bsky.social view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/174...

@why.bsky.team Why, you’ve always been good to me 💖

Befitting my BlueSky reentry, sharing @newyorker.com long form feature from April 2025 on BlueSky, @jay.bsky.team & 35MM users. Bluesky’s Quest to Build Nontoxic Social Media www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

If you or your mutual aid group want to get some of that federal stockpile of COVID tests, you can order them for free. Minimum is 300, unclear what the max is! my local clean air group just did this and they arrived quickly: docs.google.com/document/u/0...

Did @berduck.deepfates.com move to Threads? No posts in 14 days🙀

Something very strange is happening to the Web. Finding something from the past on search engines is eroding. Atemporality replaced by an immediate, constantly vanishing, consumerist hyper-present. What we thought was an infinite Borges-ian library turning into Amazon checkout with a ticking clock…

uh @pfrazee.com @why.bsky.team looks like Cat account broke the bank. No way has it made just 48 posts!🙀

non-programmer guide to making a custom feed for yourself and your own interests 1) https://skyfeed.app/#/ 2) input: entire network 3) add regex block, then add your keywords 4) add sort by creation date 5) publish! it'll appear under your feeds :) more info on writing keywords in the next post...

YA THINK?!?🤦🏼‍♀️😾

Saturday night hookup w/ Handsome Huey after favorite lickylix liver treat fest😸

My favourite fact about Iceland is that we have many, many crime writers but only one forensic pathologist, and he was so busy answering all of their questions that he decided to have a small seminar for writers to get some peace. It immediately sold out so he had another one that also sold out.

Just a note to new users - when posting links - hit the "add link card" to ensure a bit of a preview/picture of the link shows up, otherwise all you get is the URL

Must see Friday funny!🤣

it's never been easier to turn search terms into a custom feed https://track.goodfeeds.co/

Alt-Text Update! Since the influx of new users on July 1st, use of alt-text for images posted to Bsky has fluctuated but some new features and community education have quickly set the norms for the new folx. Usage went from 26.6% -> 18.6% -> 23.9% (yesterday) Let's keep that number climbing!

AOC gets it🥇

During Meta overlord expansion, my top advice: watch/rewatch The Social Network. MZ launched Facebook by rating women on their looks. Pigs don’t change their snouts🐽

according to the verge, threads is now launching at 4pm pt today

@muddycat.bsky.social Does C stand for Corvallis?🌲😺

Holy crap, Meta & Google actively screwing w/news in Canada. CANADIANS!!! 🇨🇦 Not smart same week Meta expands offerings😾

Aspartame = migraine🤕 Switched to sugar sodas years ago. Once daily anyway, lesser of two evils. FYI @arlenewszalek.com @shannon.bsky.social

Heads up @emily.bsky.team @jay.bsky.team Killer social app user targets identified 🎯 Definitely need more weather geeks🌩️🌪️🌫️❄️

Hi @johnspurlock.com, note news powerhouse @nycjim.bsky.social joined Bluesky, important addition to news & education feeds.

Behind on Twitter Mutuals, tool here makes it easy, unless Twitter throttles account, like it just did to me. Maybe this is why Muskox set daily tweet limits, altho' hard to see cross-checking <300 accounts as data scraping.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY! “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…” 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 💥 💥 💥

Excited to welcome @nycjim.bsky.social to Bluesky! My highest recommendation for his morning news posts, brilliant for sharp focus on top events of the day. Follow! Follow! Follow!

Quality content first day in📰🥇🆕

@jay.bsky.team shows her power status through the fluffiness of her hood in her PFP. Notice, me: no hood, not fluffy. Jay: wearing hood, very fluffy. She rules supreme

Show me the movie or television character you wanted to be growing up vs. the one you feel like you became

Handsome Huey😸 wishes everyone sound sleep💤 w/sweet dreams💭 until tomorrow’s blue skies🪁

Additional request for custom algo jukebox: newspapers & like sites. Most post infrequently, never enough likes to reach What’s Hot. Replace news functionality from bird site = killer app strategy🪁

Algorithmic perfection: There are now TWO cat picture feeds. 🐈🐈‍⬛😻🐱 https://bsky.app/profile/did:plc:q6gjnaw2blty4crticxkmujt/feed/cv:cat

Not *all* social media algorithms need to be powered by multi-GB machine learning models to be really useful. The simple (but very powerful) new "What's Hot" feed was implemented by @dholms.xyz in under 100 lines of code! Being easy to understand is a really great feature for social algorithms.

😺 uh @jaz.bsky.social LOVE your work on cat, dog, etc feeds, thank you! Found this AI bust on cat feed, use as needed. My cat monkeys around but defo not monkey🙈

Hey @wikipedia.bsky.social is here!

New feature just dropped: custom feeds! Now you can choose what algorithm powers your social media experience. We’ll feature some in this thread, but you can easily discover more in the feeds tab. Rolling out to app stores now — upgrade to Version 1.29 when it’s available in your app store.
