While X has gone to hell as a platform, it still has frustratingly compelling doomscroll content, but I've lost all enthusiasm to post.

In an age where we can access almost any information within a few seconds on our phones, it's incredible to see the election of a global leader announced with a literal smoke signal, and there's still an hour-long wait for the detail. Tradition is cool.

At a glance, paying $1.11m for a modern baseball card seems crazy 🤯
But when you dig into the numbers, this Paul Skenes autograph presents a shrewd investment, marketing, brand and sales opportunity for the buyer, DICKS Sporting Goods.

Not many podcasts are good at integrating ads. It's either crude brand slaps or clumsy planted promo under the guise of native.
Refreshing to see how @footballcliches.bsky.social integrate theirs. The only pod I won't just mash the "skip 15s" button multiple times when the sponcon begins.

I'm surprised - even several weeks later - how many large publishers, leagues, teams and "notables" haven't verified their domains here.
Even without direct access to your DNS, this should be a relatively simple process for authenticity and clean handle branding.

There aren't many companies on earth that would see their share price INCREASE after the CEO is assassinated before the market opens.

I came onto Bluesky an hour ago, and the first two things I saw were posts providing useful context for understanding the imposition of martial law in South Korea—the exact kind of thing that Twitter used to be so useful for in a developing crisis.

Time to give @bluesky props. As I write this, there are 560 quotes and replies to the post below.
Of those only 4 call me names and give me shit. About 15 do the same towards Trump.
The remaining 541 are on topic and add value.
👏👏👏👏👏

It’s a battle of political leverage. Who can use tariffs, retaliatory tariffs or sanctions to create more political pain for the other leader. Forcing them to capitulate or face undesired consequences.
How crazy would it be if China, Mexico and/or Canada initiated tariffs before Trump took office

From your standpoint as a businessman and manufacturer, is there any sense behind this? Especially now that other countries are threatening tariffs of their own in retaliation. But that doesn't make sense cause it would mean raising their own taxes.

The whole proposal is absurd and the fact that teens would be banned from LinkedIn - at a key juncture of their lives for network building and job seeking - is simply insane.

LinkedIn has requested it be declared exempt from the government's age verification regime (per its submission to the senate inquiry), which raises a fun hypothetical that LinkedIn could become the social media platform of choice for teens

How's the real estate industry in Australia right now you might ask?
Well, one agent labelled a school inside a youth prison as "nearby college" as a selling point 😬

So I was SUPER excited to discover @deck.blue last night.
It looks (and functions) EXACTLY like Tweetdeck did, giving you full control over your accounts and allowing you to get the most out of Bluesky.

This platform really does feel like OG Twitter 🥰
I appreciate development takes time (and they've done an INCREDIBLE job to keep up with load), but would love to see:
🔹 Bookmarks
🔹 Group DMs
🔹 Media in DMs
🔹 Drafts
🔹 Translation
🔹 Better search
🔹 Add video & image to same post
🔹 Longer video

They made the avatar and banner ratios EXACTLY THE SAME as Twitter, so you literally don't need to create any new assets or sizes. Migration is that simple.
