Bluesky doesn't yet have an official iPad app, but the browser version of the site (bsky.app) displays well on iPads. Now it's getting a little better! In the next update, you should see a right-hand column with a list of your feeds, the same way the site displays on computer screens.

If I were a Democrat, and I saw Trump do a purge of high-level generals who were women and people of color and wouldn't be "yes men," I wouldn't vote to advance JD Vance's college friend for Secretary of the Army. And yet....16 Democrats just did so

I love it when people take the time to tell me they can't find a shred of value in coming to a conference with +30 speakers from around the world who won't ever repeat their talks publicly again. It saves you so much time never thinking about or recommending them to anyone.

I love that Republicans are literally showing that they couldn’t get any of this done legally so it’s now the trash it all and see what sticks approach. Keep blocking them in the courts and plunging their stocks.

New: That post-election IPO wave everyone predicted is on hold. Uncertainty over tariffs and geopolitical risk, unpredictable regulatory changes, inflation + interest rates, coupled with the DeepSeek selloff has made companies hesitant to take the plunge. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/18/t...

"America First... will instead — and probably sooner rather than later — amount to America Isolated or even America Hated. How such an outcome will Make America Great Again is beyond me, and should give Trumpies pause for reflection before it’s too late." www.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...
