If the "secret" hostility towards Blacksky is real then it needs to not be "secret" anymore, these people need to be called out, publicly.
I need to know who they are.
DM me if you know, please.

The whole point of Bluesky and atproto was to "enable" awesome projects like Blacksky to exist.
And it has the right to exist in any form that the creator chooses, Blacksky can use as little or as much of atproto as they want, however they want.
Blacksky has my full support, and fuck the haters.

Lots of secret hostility.
- Rudy is a hack
- Blacksky is a semi-proprietary ethnocentric social network just “popping up”
- Blacksky is masquerading as fully open source
would you all like me to still speak at #AtmosphereConf this year?
I don’t have to.

Superb interview with legendary production designer Jack Fisk.
Discusses his work with Malick, PT Anderson, Scorsese, Lynch & Safdie. Lovely observations about 50s & 60s New York which made me think of my Irish immigrant parents who lived there at the time.

This is why we say there can be no science-as-usual now. This passage is from Peter Drucker’s essay in the Atlantic about the crossroads that science stood at during Nazism. Science doesn’t just need funding — it needs the fundamental freedoms that come with democracy. Freedom of speech.
