Blue Sky team, you're building something special and great here. Keep at it. Stick with it. And please don't sell it to an evil billionaire who's going to come around waving a lot of money to gobble it up. Sincerely, a Happy Blue Sky user.

I wrote this story about the migration to Bluesky, what it means and what it tells us about oligarchdom, state actor propaganda, big tech and whether you're the user or the product. Tell me what you think. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-fun...

A Funny Thing Happened on The Way To Your Phone: Thinking About Bluesky

Ever since Elon Musk bought Twitter two years ago, those who despise his evolving mix of predatory trolling, stunted emotional development and right-wing extremism have been hoping for an alternative.

I feel bad for the young girl killed in Georgia. Also, where is this media attention when trans women and women of color are murdered? Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance and we have wall-to-wall coverage of this trial while members of Congress are banning trans people from using the bathroom.

This is amazing! @krisrenn.bsky.social was my dissertation chair at MSU. I love that she and Melissa are granting funds to doctoral students!
