@jay.bsky.team is on stage at SXSW. Jay runs the only social network I care to use.

Packed session on quantum computing at SXSW. #sxsw #rpi #ibm #quantum

Uh, obviously.

Dreaming about SAF (sustainable aviation fuel) at SXSW. It requires an insane amount of unrealistic optimism to think that U.S. companies will even attempt to work toward this under the current regime. These panelists need to find another country to speak in. #sxsw

@karaswisher.bsky.social asked @warren.senate.gov , on stage at #sxsw, if she was afraid for her own safety. The Senator responded, “I don’t want to talk about it”. If that isn’t scary, I don’t know what is.

@warren.senate.gov says “I thought with Marco Rubio, as a republican Secretary of State, you could do a lot worse. I WAS WRONG. He bends the knee.” #sxsw

@karaswisher.bsky.social and @warren.senate.gov on stage at SXSW. #sxsw

SXSW sessions on “branding and community” seem… completely irrelevant as our country burns. When will these people wake up? #sxsw

The “fake Elon Musk” disrupting democracy at this SXSW comedy show hit way too close to home. The audience couldn’t decide whether to laugh, cry, or just walk out. #sxsw

@meredithmeredith.bsky.social is making me *really* want to work at Signal.

@meredithmeredith.bsky.social says Signal is “collecting as close to no data as possible”. None of the other big messaging platforms take this approach. #sxsw

@meredithmeredith.bsky.social on stage at #SXSW for the first keynote of 2025.

Very first Keynote at #sxsw. “Heretical” session on privacy and security with Signal.

Anyone here in Austin for #SXSW ?

Serious question: how worried are Europeans or U.K. residents about the possibility that Russia, backed by the U.S., will make an incursion into EU territory sometime soon? (also, how is it possible that we are even talking about this???)

It honestly baffles me that reasonable people think there’s anything left in this country that’s worth fighting for.

The president is an administrator, not a king. Trump Is Breaking Things We Can’t Just Fix www.nytimes.com/2025/03/02/o...

As usual, the current administration is demonstrating a truly remarkable level of incompetence.

Trans people everywhere in this awful country need your help. Especially here in Oklahoma. www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2HuPueM/

The pres and vice pres of the U.S. are russian agents. And sociopaths. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

Packing them up for the season.

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts. Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵

Because Republicans, including lawmakers and voters alike, are apparently too stupid to understand the importance of these things.

Fuck Iowa. This bullshit is why I can’t live in this country much longer. It’s only going to get worse. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/u...

Fuck you, Pete Hegseth. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/27/u...

Utter insanity. Now we are "partnering" with Russia. It will be the U.S., Russia, and China against our *real* allies soon. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/w...

I’m sorry, but I cannot live in a country that promotes this.

I just realized that if I were a democrat in the federal government, my attitude right now might be “let them burn it all down - the voters clearly wanted that”. Let them see what it’s like to live in the cesspool they voted for. As for me, I’m getting the fuck out.

Unfortunately, these concepts are far too intelligent and reasonable to get fools in the current administration to pay any attention at all. Retaliation Against Canada Won’t Work This Time www.nytimes.com/2025/02/13/o...

The CFPB put $19.7B back into the pockets of families who were cheated by financial predators. Let’s be honest: the only reason Trump and Musk would shut down America’s consumer watchdog is because they are corrupt—and they don’t like when anybody stops them from being corrupt.

My family has been using Google Workspace to host family email on a custom domain for at least 10 years. What should we move to now that I don’t want to do business with Google anymore? I hate Microsoft 365 as a product, so that’s not really an option. Will need to migrate many GB of mail.

I spent two minutes on this feed this morning and was instantly wishing I was European rather than American. What we are living through right now is truly devastating. bsky.app/profile/ec.e...

If I thought Pritzker could actually protect us, I’d be tempted to move there. Unfortunately I think this is mostly for show. The feds will win.

This was absolutely fascinating. @karaswisher.bsky.social understands the tech bro idiots better than anyone. It really does come down to little boys with a desperate, aching longing for attention. They can never get enough, so they have a tantrum and break things. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/07/o...

I absolutely will not be a resident of a country that takes political revenge on law enforcement officials for doing their jobs and upholding the law. Where should I move that has less corruption that this clown show of a country? www.nytimes.com/2025/02/05/u...
