This is going to be big news in my field. While we wait for the dataset, the stuff about post-processing makes interesting reading (if you're me)

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've added a Bluesky news feed to my blog, Media Nation. I used to do that with Xitter, and it was ideal for posting short items that weren't worth a fuller treatment.

In case you're wondering, authoritarians use this strategy of escalation to manufacture crisis, provoke outrage, then use the reaction to justify repression. It’s not about restoring order, it's about creating a spectacle of chaos they can claim only they can control.

Everyone's security plans and situations will always be different. But the first step to a better online world is looking at your community and figuring out what's needed and how to get everyone else on board.

You must swallow your impulse to parse and nitpick and find fault with protestors’ actions right now. We need solidarity so badly. It’s literally all we have. I am begging you, as a mother of 2 kids who is terrified of martial law, to find it in yourself to support the protestors. We need you.

If I have time I'll put together a more detailed thread tomorrow, but for now, I think this new paper about limitations of Chain-of-Thought models could be quite important. Worth a look if you're interested in these sorts of things. ml-site.cdn-apple.com/papers/the-i...

Merchants of Doubt is a very interesting read if you want to understand why science became politically partisan in the last few decades of the 20th century. Science and unfettered capitalism are not really compatible

Tensions flare after ICE agents conduct raids across Los Angeles. Many protesters are out clashing with the authorities. You can see them throwing objects at the vehicles, while others tried to block the vans from leaving. Watch as ICE in the white van runs over a protester. WTF this is CRAZY!

Remember when Republicans argued that changing the names of military bases and removing statues was tantamount to erasing history? They forgot to add that this only holds for straight white men, who made war on the United States during the Civil War.
