Wish it was #caturday.

What can we do? Get 10 friends to join @bsky.app. An excellent reminder that Twitter is "an active liability". Thank you @lastweektonight.com for the 30 minute recap!

@jrcloutier.com can you add her to your @surf.social Congress feed? Thank you!!

I did not know @petebuttigieg.bsky.social was on @bsky.app. So psyched! (*found him in a Skylight video feed about the price of beer, gotta love the open social web)

Fact-checking the 2026 State of the Union.

@davidpierce.xyz browsing through Version History episodes, reminded me of this April Fools moment at @flipboard.com 😂

An excellent way to think about building up our middle class. @thedailyshow.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xa7y...

@byjacobward.bsky.social appreciated the conversation with @taylorlorenz.bsky.social today. I particularly love the end about the importance of choice and control, the importance of Section 230, etc. thanks!

"Imagine a universe where an unannounced Rage Against the Machine took the stage at Defend Minnesota. It would have generated worldwide headlines and been one of the greatest moments in the band’s long history." Commentary: bit.ly/4tc9f1S

The words of @juliaangwin.com are always echoing around my head: "Never has the power to control public discourse been so completely in the hands of a few profit-seeking corporations with no requirements to serve the public good." 🎁

We submitted to present at #ATmosphereConf. Imagining social without boarders in a Lightning round! 🤞

@seahawksofficial.com is it possible that your last @bsky.app post was welcoming Sam Darnold?? Seems like you need to start posting again... #NFL #superbowl

There are too many amazing moments in this speech to call any one out. If you haven't listened yet, take 20 minutes and hear an inspiring, clear eyed alternative path forward.

This is one of those ideas that's so good I'm annoyed I didn't do it first

Waveform is back at SXSW this year! See you there! www.voxmedia.com/2026/01/20/v...

@karaswisher.bsky.social should talk to @buildwithtori.com

Breaking News from the New York Times: TikTok has been sold! Tens of thousands of users have poured into @skylight.social this week ✨ To everyone who is new here: Welcome!! It’s so lovely to have you 🥰 Drop your handle in the comments and say hi 👋 #breakingnews #tiktoksale #skylightsocial

See #4, let's do it.

Another moment for the open social web. Go @skylight.social!!

Here's the feed for people to follow all things #davos bsky.app/profile/did:...

Catching up on @status.news this piece by @passantino.bsky.social is a warning for the week ahead as millions of Americans migrate to the new TikTock, controlled by the views of a few (_____) men.

Walk for peace.

What makes Surf different? It's not just a single timeline. You can find and create feeds for any interest, trend you follow or community you care about. Whatever you're into, Surf keeps you connected. Use the Surf Shop to explore and favorite feeds others have made or create your own!

This is wild. Why didn’t anyone tell me ESPN used my post on NBA Today!?!? (Thanks, Bob! 🙏🏽) #NBA Threads

"Giving power back to the users would not only be good for us as citizens, and it would also test the tech companies’ longstanding argument that the problems with social media is what we are doing to ourselves — not what they are doing to us." Thanks @mathewingram.com for this week's newsletter.

Lots of interest here, and I will write about it. But what jumped out at me was ZM's observation that the laws we need are already on the books. We just need to enforce them. I mean, OF COURSE, but... it needs to be said.

Has anyone in the #MultipleScelrosis #MS community tried Estridol to slow progression? #MSlife

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Surf Beta Testers 🏄‍♂️ Our biggest release yet is here! Enjoy redesigned navigation that drops you right into your Surf Timeline in the new Home experience and lets you quickly access your go-to feeds from anywhere in Surf. Here's a quick look at what's new:

@gavingiovannoni.bsky.social check out my #mslife feed, I’ve included you in it. I love your research and perspective, thank you for all you do!

Is there any good food video creator on Bluesky? I really need some distracting, wind down but useful entertainment.

🏀 vs ⚾️… decisions😱!!! #nbathreads

@andrewmendiola.bsky.social I really appreciate your work and have added your profile to my feed for people looking to learn more about #multiplesclerosis.

Is the @bsky.app butterfly in a new stage of its evolution… more high definition today? Am I just noticing now? I like it!

Good news! A few #SurfFeeds are now being featured on @bsky.app in Explore! 🎉 Use 🔎 to find feeds from @rollingstone.com, @jasonkoebler.bsky.social, @oregonian.com, @mmasnick.bsky.social and more. bsky.app/profile/roll... bsky.app/profile/jaso... bsky.app/profile/oreg... bsky.app/profile/mmas...

Business has always had a hand in politics, but politics now unabashedly has its hand in business. @werd.io has a great feed, curated to cover the new normal. You can pin to your Bluesky.

And to add to this craziness, I looked at my "notifications" on X (which I haven't been on in a long time) and I have NO idea why these are in my notifications?? I don't know these people, follow related topics or engage with anything like this. X shoving sensationalized hate, creating divides.

Watching the @dallasmavs.bsky.social lose to the Spurs makes me really wish Klay Thompson was still here with the @warriorsofficial.bsky.social, miss him. #nbathreads

I haven’t logged into X in a very long time, it looks like Elon’s been trying to reach me. I don’t follow him, he seems desperate! What an abuse of user experience.

Are you excited about the #NBA 🏀 season!!??? I've got a renewed love for evening TV, nothing like a game night. And this feed makes every day game day!! Thanks @yorush.bsky.social

Live conversation with @mmccue.bsky.social about the early days of the web, the fediverse and what's ahead! stream.firesidefedi.live

Very good story by @techcrunch.com -- “The platforms that won were the ones that kept people scrolling the longest, not the ones that made them feel the most connected,”  Naqvi told TechCrunch. “Now there is an abundance of content but a scarcity of joy.”  (but please, build on open protocols)

This is the best post of the day!!

A subject near and dear to my heart! Excited for this talk.

If you use the @surf.social beta, the #nokings trending topic will keep you up to date on the movement happening around the country.

NEW: Government workers tell @wired.com that their out-of-office replies are being forcibly changed to blame Democrats for the government shutdown. Scoop from @leahfeiger.bsky.social @telliotter.bsky.social

Local news is a popular category on Surf. Here's a great example of a local Surf feed published to Bluesky. Like it to give @oregonian.com some love. And if you are a local, pin it to your Bluesky app. Pretty cool!

@brianstelter.bsky.social wish I could private message you, but you should stop posting X links in your newsletter. the replies to some of the CNN posts on X are pretty horrible.
