I needed this.

Important piece on the future of the ATmosphere. Today, your Euro- or Bluesky handle is just an account on a microblogging platform - that's right here. Tomorrow, it will be your gateway to a decentralized, interoperable, techbros-free world, allowing you to log-in to plenty of applications.

Bluesky is building something genuinely innovative — those who see it merely as a Twitter alternative haven't yet grasped the broader ecosystem evolving around the AT Protocol and its potential. A huge thank's to @jay.bsky.team for making it happen.

Today on Women's Day, in memory to all those Iranian women slaughtered and imprisoned by the regime during the uprising of #WomanLifeFreedom and the #IranMassacre. The monsters will fall. You will not be forgotten.

Letizia Battaglia did more than document Mafia crimes; she captured the raw, pulsing soul of Sicily, primarily between the mid-1970s and the early 1990s. Through her lens, she exposed the stark poverty, the forgotten children, and the defiant dignity of the Sicilian people.

What if anonymity will soon be a thing of the past? One of the questions VSocial.eu asked was if it should allow anonymity, partial anonymity, or none at all. I ticket the first option because anonymity can give a voice to those that cannot use one in real life. But, it seems, not for much longer.

Personal opinion, once you are following over 100 accounts the "suggested for you" on Bluesky becomes unnecessary and I wish it could have the option to be switched off. Also, none of the accounts suggested are remotely interesting.

If anyone knows about accounts on Bluesky that posts about classical art please post the profile link. Major art exponents missing from the ART feed which is mainly centered on modern, conceptual, surrealists, abstract, impressionists, expressionist movements. Give me 17th, 16th, 14th century.

News on the image upload front! WebP offers better compression and image quality compared to JPEG so everyone uploading images on Bluesky will soon get superior visual fidelity.

Listening to Vadim Neselovskyi's I Don't Need A Ride, a great piece of work that reads almost like a jazz improvisation, exploring the anger, fear and hope that is being alive in Ukraine today.

Watching Pedro Sánchez stand up to Trump's repulsive mafia style intimidation is a moment of joy. Yes it's going to cost but someone had to do it. ✊

If you're writing about or designing spaceships, particularly spaceships exploring strange alien worlds, the first thing you should look into is mobile Arctic research stations. There is no closer realworld equivalent.

Watching Kubrick's 2001 Space Odyssey again, made me realise how much I miss that sense of wonder that comes from encountering something that cannot be explained. When the astronauts on the moon touch the monolith for the first time, just as the apes did before them, is the moment, the wake up.

I miss the rolling hills of Asturia. #photography

Ditched the Kindle, back to paper.

Have just added a secondary account to Eurosky and helped 4 friends move, but I cannot see a wide adoption of this process unless the process is radically simplified (ideally 3 steps) for non-tech people. Will be interesting to see what @seabass.bsky.social comes up with.

There is now an app that alerts you if anyone in the vicinity is ogling you with a pair of smart glasses. 🥸

My thoughts are with Ukraine on this terrible anniversary. To the families hiding underground when the monsters fall from the sky, to the soldiers, the ones who don't return, to the lifeless shadows of cities in ruins, you are the heroes of this story. Slava Ukraini 🌻

Since we now can do Bandcamp embeds, let's go!

Watching the messy, overwrought, operatic pastiche that is the Olympic closing ceremony so far.

This is fab

“When you look at artwork made by Palestinians, you are going to learn so much about Palestinian experiences and Palestinian stories — those of the artist, and those the artist is depicting or discussing.” –Joanna Barakat, author of Narrative Threads

Another cancelled trip to Barcelona due to storm Pedro. Trains will stop working within the next hours, motorways have been closed because lorries overturn. Tarragona is cut off and feels like a lonely windy island.

🎥 The Nile Hilton Incident (2017) ★★★★★ The Nile Hilton Incident is a gritty story of murder and corruption that unravels in the streets of Cairo days before the uprising in Tahrir Square. The movie is a visual treat... View full review on @popfeed.social

Forget the sky stuff, Curling is the queen bee of the winter Olympics.

Tremendous coverage from @channel4news.bsky.social on the science of #AMOC collapse 👏 Do take the time to watch this and take it in. This story needs to be shared and absorbed. #EmergencyOnPlanetEarth

The last wild European bison was shot in 1927. At the time there were fewer than 60 such bison alive in zoos & private parks. Now, the great, shaggy beasts are once again roaming the Carpathian Mountains. And they're helping bring wild lands back to life. Good news story! No pay wall.

When you now upload a GIF it will behave like a proper GIF and not like a video (no progress bar or controls). Another milestone thanks to @samuel.fm 😎

NEW Evidence for 4,500-year-old Paleo-Inuit settlement on the remote Kitsissut Islands, north of Greenland indicates the Arctic's first inhabitants were skilled seafarers who shaped High Arctic ecosystems from the beginning of glacial retreat. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology

This is fun and quite accurate - (photography enthusiasts and artist is my spirit nebula).

X will no longer be a thing in Spain.
