bluesky's problem with people who are unable or unwilling to recognize a joke is really just a twitter problem bluesky hasn't solved. look at the replies to this tweet.

I'm late to this party, but this clip from Good Hang with Amy Poehler will definitely go into some permanent list of videos I need to watch when I need to laugh. We all need more Rachel Dratch in our lives. youtu.be/lXpsfq4wx70?...

Having to update xcode on my mac, so that I can do work that has nothing to do with xcode is a design flaw. If there is some small utilities that need to be updated, let us just keep those small things updated.

Personally I’m rooting for the billionaire who owns his own social network, has been divorced multiple times, has amassed millions of acolytes who will believe his lies without question, and has rapidly declining mental faculties.

If you watch only one video today, let it be this one. Watch NYU Stern School of Business Professor Scott Galloway’s outstanding commentary on what prosperity and wealth should mean in America. His words could not be more on point and timely. Please pass it on.

South Park residents of San Diego, California, confront Trump’s ICE agents after they stormed a local Italian restaurant to detain staff. This is how fascism is resisted. Courageous citizens standing their ground against regime thugs sent to intimidate them. More of this, America!

I have an idea. How about the democrats have one single text or email that doesn’t have a call to action asking me to give them money.

By the way, for anyone who is frustrated with developing a following or getting engagement on #bluesky, I think I have started to crack it. Comment on other people's posts. It's the only way I've found to get a little bit of engagement when you don't have a lot of followers.

Is #bluesky dying? If it is, my hypothesis is that it's poor surfacing content by new users with few followers. Engagement looks good once you have 1k+ followers, but I bet most small accounts get few views and almost no engagement. Are there any algorithms that specifically target small accounts?

Trying to think of a way to arbitrage New York Times gift links for fun and profit. $25 a month for the subscription feels like it may be too much of a financial risk at the moment. Related idea: gift links for TV episodes would be rad.

I think I've noticed something about #bluesky and engagement. It feels like to me there are lots of people kinda stuck at zero or near zero engagement. Even with a couple hundred followers like me. I wonder if people have ideas of how to break out of the bottom of engagement on bluesky.

Get ready for a black market in false senior citizen ids so millennials can get this year's COVID booster.

Whether or not the film and TV industry starts to use these tools, we will see loads more of this stuff, starting with platforms like Tik Tok and Youtube. I think the end game for entertainment will be generating personalized videos rather than mass entertainment. www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/co...
