This is a fantastic read about core audiences for social media. The AT Protocol comes with much promise: make it easier for organisers... #SocialMedia @mosh.bsky.social mosh.leaflet.pub/3me5e6vqtkc2...

Agree. When Facebook first allowed an Edit button the version history was easy to see... but that was diluted away eventually.

Bad Bunnyโs Super Bowl performance required 9,852 theatrical pyrotechnics, nearly 400 costumed extras, and a lot of ingenuity.
And yes, that was a real couple featured in the wedding.
