I expect that we’ll see more articles like this in the days ahead; if we do, I hope they emphasize more heavily the culture and features on Bluesky *that prioritize trust and safety.*
It’s not simply a bunch of liberals that wanted to leave X; it’s a different vision that refuses to engage w/ crap.

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com this post is the first in a series where trans folks talk about the importance of gender affirming care, and how difficult it is to access. I’m really excited about platforming trans voices. We would love it if you could share!

If we’re going to have to go back to ad based entertainment I would rather we get the full network tv experienced rather than the same StateFarm ad at every awkwardly timed ad break.
The end of low interest rates is showing us what the tech companies really built over the past 15 years and it’s nothing like what their PR hacks once promised.
Everything is more expensive, more invasive, and far less innovative or improved than they led us to believe.

Darlings, a moment. I know that the holidays can be hard for myriad reasons.
So, if tomorrow is hard for you for any reason—missing someone you love, difficult family members, lonely—please be extra gentle with yourself. And know that you are seen and heard.
Sending love, hugs, and good thoughts.💜

Nuts are an major part of Thanksgiving. The climate crisis has to be addressed at the global level, but consumer choice plays a role. One thing we can do is switch from almonds (R in photo) to pecans (L). Both are similar in nutrition, but it is water use and geography that makes a difference. 🌍 1/4

@alexwild.bsky.social You gave me my BlueSky code over on Mastodon. I've been using it now for a couple of months, along with Threads. I'm curious what your thoughts are about which platform is the best for how you use it.

Dana Brown’s off-season to-do list:
1. Sign another old guy SP to eat a bunch of innings
2. Find out where Kyle Tucker went
3. Rebuild the batter’s eye and bury Ted Cruz beneath it

Well, a seventh straight ALCS appearance is a pretty successful season, even if the end was painful. I do still hate the Rangers though, and will definitely be rooting for the NL in the World Series…

Last year’s team was a juggernaut that had the fewest IL days in the MLB. It’s actually pretty impressive to win the division and get to game 7 without McCullers or Garcia or even graveman. I name only pitchers because like in 21 they ran out of pitching again

When you consider that the model likely doesn’t account, in the final projection, for losing Yordan, Altuve and then him taking a while to stay in the lineup, García, Urquidy for a good part of the season, Brantley again once he’d returned—IDK, sure seems like they got the job done and then some.
