Bluesky has been doing a ton of work to make the edit button work. Some third party clients (like anisota.net) have added an edit button now that bluesky has gotten edits mostly working with the infra but it's still very much an "in progress" feature that they are trying to fix issues with.
Anisota for Bluesky & ATProto
A radical yet peaceful user interface for using Bluesky, ATProto, and other ATmosphere-based social media more intentionally.

Condé Nast forgot to renew the trademark for Gourmet and so a group of journalists grabbed it and are relaunching the food magazine as a worker-owned co-op. Love it. [gourmetmagazine.net]

this is an illuminating piece of reporting on how ICE is obtaining warrantless information on people's locations and personal information. it's a 1-2-3 of poor security, unethical data brokers, and companies who are eager to weaponize this information.
New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant

And they’ll say they can’t be held accountable because when they pulled the trigger they were afraid for their lives. Their lives which they spent serving an ideology of fear, a machine of fear, a holistic regime of fear. A culture-spanning engine of the ugliest and most dishonest fears there are.

If you have any funds to spare and want to help Minneapolis right now, getting dash cams to observers is crucially important and especially after today
ICE observers in the Twin Cities are in need of dash cams to prevent further intimidation and frivolous claims.

Cams are $110, memory cards $35, and ship to us directly via this wish list: www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

If you've been looking for a way to help, we'd sure appreciate it!

Well shit. This deeply evil country with its rabid dog politicians, a vortex of madness dragging the rest of the world into its delusions of end times.

Most recent one was going to see Sorcerer in a theater full of people stoked to be seeing Sorcerer.
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?

Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.
It was hands-down one of the most memorable theater-going experiences I can remember, a collective 30-minute butt-clench/armrest-grab for the final climb. And we knew he lived! Wild.

Great reporting and a knockout final line:

“Not long after, as the sun was going down, an SUV with tinted windows and an out-of-state license plate was seen barreling down a nearby street. It was followed closely by three cars, with drivers laying on their horns and whistling.”
