Is this clown some Mark Zuckerberg clone? We’re doing “both sides” now? We do not need more right wing voices, we need more true voices. Bluesky may well be finished. So soon.
The Verge@theverge.com · 2d agoBluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."
I’ve started to note Instagram content personalities (in the electronic music highlight niche) are using it to generate their patter. If you know AI, you know the signs, and I’ve noted one individual called out on a whole bunch of inaccuracies. Amazing how presentation style obscures it for most.
jess m. 🌤️@jametc.bsky.social · 5d agoit all just sort of makes sense, now, huh. all this shit was just generated by AI and he believed it all enough to parrot it on his podcast, and his fact checking team had to clean up after him this is a really massive blow to popular science. Everything is in question now. does he realize this?
Industry disinformation comes to Bluesky about the massive fires caused by the climate crisis. #InformationPollution
Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t a grunge hit.

Do I want to open the replies and explore Bluesky’s deep thoughts on the philosophy of the mind? I’m guessing no. Until someone can explain the exact mechanism that gives rise to free will (or the illusion thereof) it seems safe to say that we don’t really understand consciousness.

I don’t do sports much but this is borderline Pynchon-ish. Let me guess, Bobb Berge and Berg are on England’s team and O’Reilly is with the Northmen?

Patriot Front, a white nationalist group that MAGA influencers have insisted is a FBI-orchestrated hoax group meant to smear conservatives, showed up in the hundreds today in DC for the 4th. Their biggest showing in a hot minute.

I've been saying this for a while: Steve Bannon has been fine-tuning this tactic for years. The fuel protest worked as a proof of concept, and they did so in advance of the EU presidency precisely so Bannon's allies could throttle the entire EU.
The Journal@thejournal.ie · last mo.One of the leaders of this year's fuel protests has said talks are underway to block Dublin, an airport or Ursula von der Leyen when the EU chief visits next month. The group also wants to "stop all future carbon tax rises" by the government. www.thejournal.ie/fuel-protest...
I find a lot of music very performative. The artists don’t make those noises when they’re alone writing an email or taking out the garbage, but oh, as soon as there’s an audience, look out, that’s when the big music show starts!
NEW: Records obtained by ProPublica detail at least a dozen SpaceX investors with addresses in mainland China, Hong Kong or Russia who acquired stakes in SpaceX years ago through a middleman firm in the U.S. called Tomales Bay Capital.

"The future of US media is independent." Sounds sexy, but that actually sucks. Journalists are ultra vulnerable when they are flying solo. Landing big stories is harder and riskier. Cheers to those who do it (including myself, to a degree) but we're all worse off if that's the only real path ahead.

tl;dr: why not take the good parts of twitter and reddit, and combine them? eg. they could beef up hashtags to make them more like subreddits. (give some actual mod powers to users running them.)
A great write-up in The Saturday Paper of a big new report from Greenpeace Australia Pacific which I led. It is heartening how seriously our warning has been taken, and how a whole bunch of stories that have come out in the days since we published just completely vindicated everything we've said :)
