I mostly regret the years I spent watching Russian state TV for work, but 10 years ago today I had it on in the background when Putin landed in Egypt for this rendition of the Russian national anthem Still one of the single funniest minutes of video on YouTube www.youtube.com/watch?v=IifS...

This is interesting! Did not know that the 1914 Germany-Russia border was in the same spot as the current Poland-Lithuania-Russia (Kaliningrad) border, but the side that was then Germany is now Russia and the side that was Russia is Lithuania

Lots to unpack here. I feel like some things are good — focused moderation, good riddance to fact-checkers, bringing back civic content. The political pandering to Republicans is too palpable tho — it's a troubling embracement of far-right frameworks by the largest social media

The response of Liv, now retired Meta AI profile, is probably a hallucination. I do not see an LLM storing and retrieving data about racial characteristics of team members who worked on it as part of the dataset it was trained on.

The internet has made it so that you cannot escape the tyranny of the personal brand. For some, it looks like updating your LinkedIn connections; for others, it's asking customers to give you five stars on Google Reviews; for still more, it's crafting an engaging-but-authentic persona on Instagram.

I am at the point in my bluesky feed when I unfollow irrelevant people more often than I like the relevant ones. Starter packs worked great to kickstart Bluesky but now it seems a bit overwhelming.

🧵 Common misconceptions that I'm hearing lately from 𝕏 users migrated to 🦋BlueSky: 🫢 "Engagement levels are insane here, we all were throttled on the other site" 🫢 "It took me N years to build up my audience on 𝕏. It took M days to regain K% of it on Bluesky": Hate to disappoint, but:

hard to exaggerate how nuts the engagement is on Bluesky compared to 𝕏. a vastly smaller user base (at least officially), but just look at these stats for one of the biggest newspapers on Earth. Musk has absolutely trashed the platform. folks, you are not locked in on 𝕏. not even a little.

I wonder if the niche media (I guess the first to thrive from migrating to Bluesky as they do not need "general public") have already found the way to measure the impact compared to Twitter. Bluesky does not seem to have any analytics yet, and likes/reposts are trivial ways to measure engagement)
