I got a hat for creating a new page on PRISM, a digital public good! PRISM is an open source platform that combines real time climate data from satellites and ground sensors with socioeconomic data to help governments and communities understand abnormal weather impact on farming and disaster relief

here today if anyone else is :D

Hey, MSM: Teen Vogue is carrying the water for all y'all www.teenvogue.com/story/ice-wa...

Teen Vogue continues to be a goddamn treasure and I will fight anyone who says otherwise.

rest in power, Melissa and Mark Hortman. fuck.

I randomly heard my partner randomly get on a phone call just now and start talking about how to debunk deep fakes no hellos or how are you just straight into yubikeys and manipulated media?? my heart :3

Melissa Hortman, who was assassinated last night, was the Speaker of the Minnesota House in the 2023-2024 session, when Democrats ran the state government. That means she had a leading role in shepherding the many landmark reforms that Dems adopted in that period—an important legacy. Brief 🧵.

It’s time to vote 🗳️ findmypollsite.vote.nyc

One thing that stood out really powerfully in last night's mayoral debate is that Zohran Mamdani and Brad Lander both operate from the premise that New York City is a wonderful and beautiful and precious place. Andrew Cuomo does not.

guys, look at maumau

I love the cross endorsement

Offline, LA residents report normalcy. Trump says there’s mass carnage. This article is good - it describes the alternate realities on divergent platforms. The feeling of not being able to trust your eyes. But it uses the word “misinformation” and that’s not it. www.cnn.com/2025/06/10/m...

well done, MediaLab!

The STOP CSAM Act is supposed to keep kids safe online, but by cracking down on encryption it threatens one of the most important tools that families have to keep kids’ private information private.

I saw a headline about Patrick Reed hitting an albatross and me, being a complete ignoramus about golf, got *so* concerned about birds for a second

I'm proud I don't have Andrew Cuomo's record of corruption, scandal and disgrace. And the name is M-A-M-D-A-N-I.

Cuomo has zero excuse for mispronouncing Mamdani's name. That's a bullshit right wing racist tactic we've seen from the worst Republicans in the country. Don't rank Cuomo. Don't put him ANYWHERE on your ballot.

I giggle when I see the discourse about bluesky from people who don't use bkuesky, esp after talking with a bunch of people building on atproto most hope I've felt in days/weeks/month??

today has proven I am a professional yapper

It's official: The White House wants to cut funding for the 988 LGBTQ+ suicide and crisis hotline for kids. Make no mistake: this cruelty could cost young lives. We need to keep fighting back.

I’m excited to finally share a project I’ve been working on for several months… I’ve published a long-form guide for how companies, communities, and creators can use Bluesky to grow their brands — you can check it out on @atpota.to. It’s not perfect, but it’s a solid start that I’ll keep updated!

I thought I messed up my partners mushroom grow bag because mine had grown a couple huge ones and his was totally bare, but success! A baby blue oyster!

Grace Meng is such a disappointment

New from 404 Media: Delta, United, American etc don't want you to know they sold your flight data to DHS. The country's airlines sell bulk names and flight itineraries to DHS to be searched without a warrant. Contract tells DHS to not reveal where this data came from www.404media.co/airlines-don...

Want to push back against the bigoted attacks targeting trans and gender-nonconforming people? Here are specific ways you can help—with your time, money, and everyday actions. www.wired.com/story/how-to...

New from 404 Media: here's our report on the aircraft circling above the LA protests. Local, state, DHS, military all flew. Left: aircraft from air base. Right: a distinctive high altitude/hexagonal flight pattern, looks like a Predator drone (it flew to border after) www.404media.co/dhs-black-ha...

A fantastic dive into deliberately understanding video presented to you that, rather than outright dunking, guides you through the process as a template. Great work @blumineck.bsky.social
