CBS on the cardinals: "One thing we know they're not doing is checking Instagram because their devices have all been confiscated. I believe the kids call it rawdogging."

This whole thread is excellent but this touches on something that I think is going to happen once the first bubble bursts — coding is already a highly mediated, formal* process, and programmers are already used to altering how they communicate intent to the machine.

"Americans think they deserve things like 'rights' and 'weekends,'" he went on. "And that's, like, really unfair to me."

Folks Jack Dorsey has zero to do with Bluesky. Early on he was spouting his usual bullshit about unmoderated platforms and the users chased him off the site.
