The United States is so broken and damaged, it has elected a CRIMINAL as its next president. What a horrible county.

i think rage at congestion pricing is a good example of how no one believes that the world can be positive sum anymore. like, people pay a small fee to get access to a faster commute — saving them valuable time — and the money improves public transit, saving other people valuable time. it's win-win!

Also, holy shit, Bluesky sends real traffic. Will update this tomorrow with firm numbers but journalism is going to move here for sure. Twitter is a drop in the bucket. It's over, but we are so back, and so on and so forth

Jeff Bezos and I were both in the news today. Bezos is making nice with Trump. Kash Patel has said that I am an enemy of the GOP. He owns the Washington Post. I founded Democracy Docket. Both rely on paid subscriptions. Which do you want to support? www.democracydocket.com/member-me/

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired. History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them. Signed, a physicist

The Hunter Biden story is a perfect encapsulation of what’s wrong with American media: Is it a story? Sure. But every newspaper in America devoting front page headlines to Hunter fucking Biden while Trump appoints a cabal of rapists, racists and con-men to positions of enormous power is MADNESS.

"We cannot continue to participate in the social network feed of a man who proclaims the death of the media and therefore of journalists... X is a platform that no longer serves the public interest at all, but the special ideological and financial interests of its owner and his political allies"

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record. They run them bc people react to them the most. If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change. It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

1/ With more users joining Bluesky, we know how important it is to identify which accounts are real. Users deserve confidence that the accounts they interact with are authentic. Sharing some details about our impersonation policy 🧵

I am such a believer in this. Down-ballot is the way. It’s also how we build a sustainable future of good leaders and infrastructure to elect and support them, as well as the movements they represent. We don’t just need strong candidates. We need strong organizers, managers, CoS, grassroots, etc.

We could go on about how we welcome publishers, we don't demote links, we encourage independent developers to build apps and extensions on top of Bluesky's network.... but instead, we'll show you. All thanks to the incredible community here! 🦋

Traffic from Bluesky to @democracydocket.com is surging while X is falling and Threads remains largely irrelevant. This is powering rapid growth of both free subscribers and paid members.

Donald Trump wants you to believe that he is all powerful and that if you fight back you will lose. He wants you to believe that if you fight back you face danger. It is time for us to build not a temporary resistance but a long term opposition.

We want Bluesky to be a great home for journalists, publishers, and creators. Unlike other platforms, we don't de-promote your links. Post all the links you want — Bluesky is a lobby to the open web.

lol wow this site really is just ten times better than Twitter, huh. People are like "It's just like old Twitter," and nah, I disagree. It's better. Old Twitter didn't have Starter Packs, moderation lists, quote-reply detaching, reply-hiding, none of that. It's better.

Hot take for the TV industry. Bring back 25 minute episodes and 6 seasons. We need to be able to flesh out story lines and let artists and writers work their magic again.

It's wild how, even with everything that's happened this month, I generally am in a better mood with more lust for life after leaving twitter. Like yeah shit sucks but at least now I don't see that shit sucks and see the worst people on the planet going "woo yeah!!!"

Bluesky is going to have a big problem if it doesn't do something about verification. Offering the same stupid system that Mastodon uses is not a solution. It needs to be easy for accounts to use AND easy for followers to see. It is becoming a daily frustration. @jay.bsky.team @safety.bsky.app

How the fuck are they still doing this? We are at a point when in the same state as University of Austin the government is literally censoring certain words and ideas from the classroom & the federal government is going to try to do the same at a national level. Absolute disconnection from reality.
