Another dabble with #Skylight Social, the attempt on AT Protocol at a TikTok style app. Still a little clunky? Android still missing features, I believe. Say Hi!

If the U.S. government is going to take the position that, once removed from the United States, folks can’t be brought back, then it sure seems to me that federal courts should be reflexively and categorically barring all removals until they’re 100 percent certain that the removals are lawful.

We’re in Bangkok overlooking the Royal Bangkok Sports Club where I first learned to play golf with @jane13barnes.bsky.social’s cousins. I’m taking my girl to her 50th school reunion at the International School of Kuala Lumpur. Here she is partying with her mates not long before I met her.

Hello team @skylight.social ... Does the Android app have fewer features compared to Apple? All good-- just checking I haven't missed anything.

The Boiling Crab restaurant in Sydney. A tradition of the American south or so I'm told? Piping hot seafood, on a table, eaten with your hands. Fun! #foodie #sydneyfood #travelfood #vlogging

I happen to know that some powerful media orgs were unhappy that AP filed suit; they thought the conflict with the White House would blow over on its own and that AP risked making bad law. The AP's leadership deserves a lot of credit for having proceeded as it did. apnews.com/article/trum...

Dear Email Admins: How widespread is the use of RFC 5233 Sieve Email Filtering, the acceptance of [email protected] and [email protected] both delivered to [email protected]? For a low traffic application, would it be reasonable to assume it works, then just deal with exceptions?

I'm merely an observer and social media is an unreliable barometer... But while dozens of other very senior Dems are quiet online, @hillaryclinton.bsky.social is being LOUD online. Good to see heart on sleeve. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I enjoyed the #WhiteLotus!! I mean, the Ratliff family stories set up so many opportunities for interesting resolutions and we just didn't get them. That all went nowhere. The Belinda storyline was super fun. The Chelsea ending was a little predictable. I'll be watching season 4!

I was waiting at Sydney airport this morning and saw a man dressed as an inflatable koala. He was waiting for family in the United kingdom. Haha. That is one exceptional 'Welcome to Australia'. Video description: the crowd is waiting at an airport arrivals Hall. A man is in a koala suit

Such a joy. The Central West of NSW is like home to me. To return for this creative masterclass was the nudge I needed for my photography. "If you're searching for truth, which is the source of art, you start with doubt and vulnerability". #photography #NSW #ILoveNSW @headonphoto.bsky.social

The LED billboard truck became an operation that drew in people from across the newsroom, from interactive designers who usually work on the ProPublica website to copy editors who commented on how they’d never been asked to proofread a truck before.
