Crockett: "The US is falling apart, partially bc he's allowing for killings in the street, but also bc we have a 34 count convicted felon being shielded from any type of accountability as it relates to a child sex trafficking ring. I don't understand why we're pretending any of this is normal."

"European democracy faces a coordinated assault. From the East, Putin is unleashing unprecedented propaganda campaigns that sway elections and erode pro-Ukraine majorities in the European Council. From the West, US Pres. Donald Trump threatens retaliatory tariffs if Europe enforces its own rules."
Europe Can’t Defend Democracy on US Servers
As long as 80 percent of European digital products and services originate in the United States, blackmail will thrive, writes Alexandra Geese.

🇭🇺 The Hungarian opposition Tisza party has released its election manifesto ahead of the April 12 vote, promising to restore ties with Poland, redirect foreign policy toward the EU and NATO, and end dependence on Russian energy by 2035 if it defeats Orbán.

👀 Polls show Tisza leading the race.

Putin destroys infrastructure - Ukrainians repair them not with steel, but with solidarity and mutual care. Let that be a lesson for us all: our greatest asset is each other.
Can we say with confidence that we, Ukrainians, have coped with this winter as well as possible There is no simple answer. However, everyone did everything possible-both for themselves and for others.

No matter which government rules the country, all European nations share a common dislike for Putin, even in Hungary. All but one: Serbia.

Remember this whenever Serbia makes calls for entering the EU. They are literally Putin‘s Only Fans.

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

i guess what i'm saying is that it's just not realistic to expect social apps not to desire private data or expect them to wait until it's fully ready on-protocol. blacksky has a community that exists, right now.

atproto is not fully ready for prime-time for every social app until it has private records and communication imo. even bluesky are doing preferences-hacks for private data and just deploying a fully centralized service (chat) where they don't have a better solution yet.

We’ll adopt the canonical approach when it arrives.
Should follow same lexicon even though it doesn’t technically need to. May do some kind of notation in the uri to specify it’s local only.

v1 is storing local posts on the app-view. v2 will use whatever private state solution the ecosystem lands on. Hopefully backwards compatible but breakings fine
Working name for the project is "Tribe". For Tribe, login would be oauth. Public posts would be done via authenticated users' PDS (similar to Wafrn). Local posts would follow same schema but stored on the app server.

Timeline would be member-based view of firehose (like Blacksky) PLUS local posts

people outside Japan may not have noticed, but the Bluesky app displayed a special banner and election related feed for a few days for today's snap election in Japan. I cannot see how the other platforms handled it, but at least Bluesky team does care about democracy 🗳️

Interesting POV: Trump and Epstein were more "useful idiots" to the Kremlin than true Russian assets. They did not receive missions, bcs whatever they did was useful and they could easily be manipulated into delivering what they needed from them.
Was Epstein a Russian asset?
Plus, an update on Norwegian Crotch Rot: Are ski jumpers jacking up their johnsons?
