Yeah as someone who lives at the bottom of a gravity well with 7 billion of their closest friends, I do not want Elon Musk building giant catapaults on the moon. In fact I think it's a terrible idea
Watching Eric Berger (historically a Musk fanboy) struggle with the revelation that Musk is a fake engineer conman white supremacist never loses its entertainment value
Why would Elon Musk pivot from Mars to the Moon all of a sudden?
SpaceX has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon."

Been mulling over @bnewbold.net's recent post on community spaces and atproto's next frontiers. I wrote about why building for organizers (not just users) might be the key to making it all work.

The Super Bowl halftime show, with Bad Bunny showcasing Latin music before a global television audience expected to top 100 million, will illustrate the nation’s immigration divide whether or not the reggaeton star delivers an explicit political message.

The Epstein files are turning into one of those accidental historical archives of preserved records like the Oxyrhynchus Papyri Manuscript (fragments from 32BC–640AD found in an Egyptian rubbish dump). But instead of shopping lists, bills and horoscopes it’s the elite manipulating the system.
This is bleak: Jes Staley, currently CEO of Barclays, reassuring Epstein that popular revolt against financial elites is unlikely because capitalism and pop culture have defanged social movements, leaving people more invested in consumption than justice.

If you're familiar with The Atmosphere, you already know how to get one, and this should hopefully help you explain it to others.
For those of you who aren't, you'll be surprised to know you already have one; here's how you use it:
