While we’re banning books…

Finland is teaching children in school how to recognize fake news and propaganda as part of critical thinking and civic responsibility. Some of this will seem very familiar.

Be. Like. Finland.

Yesterday I got tagged about generating a "I've moved to Bluesky" banner for Twitter.

Well I've built it 😂

Just enter your handle, and we'll generate the banner for you:
blueskydirectory.com/moved-to-blu...

Thanks to @justinjackson.ca for original idea and @chadtimbl.in for the banner I used!

People are using LLMs summarize books. Do you really think you can compress a 300-page book into 2 pages without losing a *bunch* of information?
There are people summarizing Dostoyevsky on Reddit, what's even the point 😭

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky

if you have a @github.com profile, can i ask you to update it with your @bsky.app handle? 🙏

👉 it enables some very cool integrations, like auto curated feeds and starter packs for contributors and tech

It took me twelve years (!) to build up my audience on Twitter. It took 5 days to surpass the 50% point of my Twitter following on Bluesky. I’m hopeful that the overall growth on this site will negate the need to go on Twitter altogether. Sad to see what it devolved into, but thrilled to see it die.

So cool to see adult gymnastics getting coverage in a major publication!

Also: seriously jealous of the adult gymnastics scene in London. There are *several* gyms with classes & open gyms for adults www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
Is 61 too old to take up gymnastics? Not if you’re planning on living to 100
The older I get, the more I want to play rather than just work out. Have I left it too late to learn a backflip, cartwheel or forward tuck – especially with a dodgy knee?

There is something deeply amusing about musklings coming here and realizing there’s no algorithm to boost their rage bait, which was their main advantage.

Are people still learning in public? I miss the days where I saw lots of blog posts and videos of people learning. I want to see less podcasts where people are talking about other people winning and learning.
