How newsrooms, scientific institutions & governments can best use Bluesky
Large organisations need dedicated tools and processes to manage their Bluesky presence and get the most out of ATproto.

Finally wrote up my #EuroSkyLive Berlin presentation from last month so that I have something more to refer people to than "watch me bounce around the stage for 19 minutes".

Oh my god Mike F. died. One of the best. Rest in peace man.
Very sad to say it seems Mike Fossey, aka Mike F. has died. Truly one of the funniest posters of all time and a talented artisan. Had been friends online for many years, but I got to hang out a couple times at shows in Boston and he was funny and sweet in real life too.

Tell me you know nothing of Europe without saying you know nothing of Europe. Quite a take.
Idiot. A Frenchman has no history in common with a German. Imagining they could create a country together is pure fantasy from a deracinated upper class.

Oh God I followed this bot, what on earth is it going to say, given I haven't given it anything to work with, save that I followed it.

Glad to see mobile roaming is still a thing in #EUcomms, 20y after one of the more challenging builds I've faced.

To clear the air here, because I am getting a lot of questions and feedback on this, we are cooked. Here is why:
If this is already the normal procedure everywhere, i.e. a google scholar import, universities’ library catalogues will be useless tomorrow.
When viewing the fake article in Google scholar on my university network, there is a link to access the article via my uni's library. That link sends me to a library page that makes fake article appear real... Turns out library page is made programmatically from info on Google scholar 🤦

Last night's failure to agree on giving Russia's frozen assets to Ukraine was a bad look for the EU. But the Plan B that they came up with, #EurobondsForUkraine, could actually be better because:
1. Money arrives faster
2. It's legally unquestionable
3. It can be done again
