It’s funny to me that Olivia Dean should win best new artist at the Grammy’s when I first heard“Echo” back in 2021. She’s been around for 6 years, has 2 studio albums, and is somehow sill new! Either way, the win is well deserved. She’s super talented. https://youtube.com/watch?v=CuHML9r5kIc

Instead of funding vapid documentaries about Melania, if Bezos really wanted to do something useful, he should offer Trump a free trip to space on Blue Origin. No need to worry too much about the return trip…

Melania being a sell out? Nothing new there…

@stillonx.com Any idea when you will be launching the "positive" lists of "good" influential organizations and people that have left X? This site is a great idea, but it is all negativity right now - only naming and shaming ppl for being on both.

I was on a flight without internet back from HKG on Saturday. After we landed, the woman next to me 'they shot another person in Minneapolis'. My heart sank... These horrific events prompted me to post my thoughts as a Canadian in the US right now. ericmigi.com/blog/on-bein...

Ah that's crazy, it's almost like Threads picked up the decentralization messaging when they launched so they could neutralize the Atmosphere sources.news/p/whats-next...

Priorities

We're developing a website, searchable database, an API, and comprehensive tools to track unethical accounts that are still active on X at stillonx.com Follow this account to be notified of when it goes live.

Why is everything that Trump does just always so dumb? “The Board of Peace” is just a ridiculous name. It’s up there with “Space Force” - all projection, no substance. Once again, it’s a pathetic attempt by Trump to leave some kind of legacy, and distract, distract, distract from the Epstein files.

We're building intelligence infrastructure, and a number of "accountability" tools like this one, for the public benefit. When launched, stillonx.com will have a publicly searchable database, and an API for developers that will track unethical influential accounts that are still active on X.

Which is better for Putin? 1. Taking Greenland. 2. Making Trump think I will take Greenland, to encourage Trump to take Greenland, resulting in the destabilization of NATO and the breakdown of European-US relations, weakening Ukraine. I know which of these I would be playing for if I was Putin…

Why Does a Smartwatch that was Dead for 10 Years Still Have the Best Software Ecosystem?: https://parkerortolani.blog/2026/01/10/why-does-a-smartwatch-that.html

I finally ordered a Pebble Index smart ring. I dithered for a while. I dislike that it has no means of recharging but I love that it'll work anywhere, one-handed & offline, letting me capture ideas & set reminders. It was built for my #ADHD brain. @repebble.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=Arxh...

btw bluesky is having its biggest month in a while by the math

Could someone please tell Donald Trump that there is no such thing as a Nobel War Prize…

This is for everyone who who’s ever been in therapy! youtu.be/Bx2JA8KzV3s?...

@ericmigi.com If the Pebble 2 Duo platform was Flint, will the Round 2 be Granite? Or since it was the next announced, you could have Garnet for the Index 01 platform, given that it is a gemstone often used in rings. Then maybe Hackmanite for the Round 2! (I like the hacker association!)

I'm imagining a perhaps not-too-distant future where the President gets replaced by an A.I. - one that draws on ALL available data to make decisions. It would access and analyze ALL the data ALL the time - news, commentary, social media, economic & statistical models, reports, studies, EVERYTHING.

Kit Harrington really nails Gilderoy Lockhart in the full cast audiobooks of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. You can tell he is having so much fun with this role. Knowing the books inside out must help - he apparently has listened to the Fry audiobooks every night for years to get to sleep!

New Pebble mobile app v1.0.7.3 released today to Android public beta (iOS tomorrow). D/L beta rePebble.com/app - Multiple appstore feeds (as per ericmigi.com/blog/pebble-... - Native appstore view (vs old webview) many bugs still, very early! Settings -> Use Native Appstore

Half way through Senlinyu's Alchemised, I'm struck how much expectations play into ur reaction to this book. This is NOT a YA Romantasy. Expect that & it will fuck you up. If you expect a twisted psychological thriller, a dark fantasy Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, you'll appreciate it way more. 💙📚

Good news! We open sourced the Pebble mobile app today -> github.com/coredevices/mobileapp Now all the software that powers your new Pebble is 100% open source. Read the full scoop on my blog ericmigi.com/blog/pebble-...

In Ian Fleming’s Casino Royale, Bond really doesn’t hold back after Vesper gets kidnapped! 🤯 “These blithering women who thought they could do a man's work. Why the hell couldn't they stay at home and mind their pots and pans and stick to their frocks and gossip and leave men's work to the men.” 💙📚

Look at this graph! coppolaemilio.com/entries/tech...

This is amazing. A Gmail-like interface for searching the Epstein emails released by Congress. jmail.world

A criticism I have of Bluesky right now is that it keeps promoting reactions to the latest news before I know what the news is! I wish there was a way to get the context along with the reaction. Leaving Bluesky to try and find out what people are reacting to seems counterproductive.

It's a good thing President Obama killed Osama Bin Laden because otherwise Trump would be inviting him to the White House for some goddamn hors d'oeuvres

bluesky i'm begging you for passkey support. i get logged out SO MUCH and 2FA over email is so tedious.

Having just listed to the full-cast edition of the 1st Harry Potter 📖, I realised that it's a story about 3 children who repeatedly stick their noses into things they don't fully understand, draw all the wrong conclusions, put themselves and their friends in danger, and then get rewarded for it! 💙📚

A true sign of how old you are is when the pet you got as an adult dies of old age.

It’s time to chuck Chuck Schumer! “Chuck! Shoo! (mer)”

Tip: #Windows users who are new to #MacOS may try to move files with cut & paste in the Finder and quickly discover it does not work. The solution? Do this: 1. Select files/folders to move. Copy: ⌘+C 2. Navigate to destination folder. 3. Press ⌥+⌘+V (Opt+Cmd+V) to move them. Unintuitive? Maybe! 🤷

I just love that Fry and Laurie have now both played Dumbledore. The question is - who is better? #booksky 💙📚 🎧📚 #harrypotter

Bluesky hit 40M users

DHS has used the Statute of Liberty's likeness in at least 16 ICE recruiting posters it posted to its X account in the last two months. Lady Liberty had been "permanently stamped" as "the role of unofficial greeter of incoming immigrants." DHS is clearly seeking to change that perception.

It was never “Trump Derangement Syndrome.” It was also a clear warning of what was to come.

Is it unusual that I now can only think of Bari Weiss as German’s greatest Barry White tribute act?

It would do wonders for society if everyone had first-hand experience of being a minority. e.g white ppl should spend time living somewhere where most people are not, to better understand life from that perspective. It would really help bigoted minds to view immigrants with more compassion.

I made a little website to show people AT protocol alternatives to popular social media platforms! Check it out :) aternative.to #atproto #atdev

we’re shipping what is essentially a bittorrent tracker in an atproto record 😈

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

Protocol updates

It reveals a glaring issue with the modern Internet when a failure at Amazon Web Services can cause a long list of global sites can go down. DNS is the Internet’s Achilles heel.

“No one is above the law!” (Unless you are a Republican conman, apparently!)

amazing how you can write about culture professionally and still have no idea what’s going on in the world
