Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That's why it's called the present.
-Eleanor Roosevelt

After my dad's passing in 2019, I found a torn sheet of paper in his desk where he had this written down. He, like me, was always a fan of motivational quotes.

✨ My word for 2025 is ELEVATE. ✨

“Elevate” perfectly captures my commitment to continuous improvement. It’s a powerful reminder to keep pushing myself each day and striving to be better.

What’s your word for 2025? Let’s inspire each other!

QUICK POLL: In 2025 I plan to…

1. Start livestreaming on social media

2. Keep livestreaming because it works!

3. None of the above

My internet just went out. It’s an outage that might last several hours. 😢 Rather than a YouTube livestream today, we’ll do our usual Spaces chat over on X.

Oh well, I tried.

This right here... On Bluesky, everyone controls their own experience. We don't have a billionaire dictating the algorithm. Thank you @mcuban.bsky.social. 😀
Over there you have to bow to the biggest influencer to get influence. That’s how it’s designed.

Here, everyone controls their own experience. There is no one influencer defining how to algorithmically amplify trolls and mis-information

This place is not Twitter. You control your experience

Great news for artists & creators!

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.
