Google just released a new Gemini Image gen model, and I don't really see much use for image gen models outside of playing around with them for fun, but I managed to get it to use the Google search feature to get the info, and it put together this atproto visualisation... scarily realistic:

We already have Tweets Importer as Porto. I think People's should also be good but SkyFollowBridge does pretty good imo.

So awesome to see Nepali origin food getting more recognition; ohhh i am seeing Buddha there too.

Congrats Mayor!
An honor to get momos with our Mayor-elect today! ๐ŸฅŸ๐Ÿ—ฝ๐ŸŒน

#TeamNoSleep
A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.

But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Protocol Check-in (Fall 2025) | Bluesky
We last shared a protocol roadmap back in March 2025, and wow does time fly. If we're being honest, we haven't tied a bow on as many of these threads as we would've hoped. Oh time, strength, cash, and...

Nepal isnโ€™t a terrorist country or something. The protest and violence was due to corruption and censoring peoples from their freedom of speech.

As a fellow Nepali, we all are welcoming. And Nepal is beautiful (except politician).

People in Nepal, including children, have been killed by police and security forces in Gen Z-led protests against government corruption.

Despite the purpose of the demonstrations, international media headlines have reduced them to merely protests over the countryโ€™s ongoing social media ban.

this isn't just about the social media bans. this is about the corruption that has led Nepal for decades. no matter how much the domestic and international media attempts to belittle our struggles, we will fight back against corruption. jay Nepal ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ต

Tiktok has removed more than 70,000 videos already and suppressing the voices.

The need of decentralized social media is more than ever. Itโ€™s just a matter of time when people realize about hosting their own PDS and switch between different social apps even one gets banned. Protocol >>>> App.

Spoke something here regarding protest. Previously I said about Bluesky can register social media on Nepal to get exposure but I found the reason on why government is doing such. Itโ€™s a big censorship agenda who talks against the government and their kids too.

More in thread ๐Ÿงต

Nepal government is banning all social media apps today in Nepal. The best thing Bluesky can do is formally register in Nepal which allows exposure + a door of being a registered social media from Nepal.

This could be one of the good play if done by Bluesky.. cc @jay.bsky.team @rose.bsky.team :)
