Always remember:
"Conspiracy theories make stupid people feel intelligent."
Elon Musk has turned Twitter into a hell hole - it feels so refreshing and clean to get away from it.
Top Tip for BlueSky Newbies - search for "Starter Packs" to quickly gain like minded followers.

Something fishy about this sob story (1) The photos are stock shots taken in 2012 and 2014, available from Shutterstock and Alamy—links below. (2) There’s no trace of bankers Al and Alexandra Moy anywhere other than the Telegraph 🤔

This exchange is so very telling.
Trump repeatedly claims the photoshopped MS-13 on Kilmar Abrego Garcia's knuckles is real, Terry Moran keeps telling him it isn't, prompting Trump to say this:
"I never heard of you. I picked you. You’re not being very nice. He had MS-13 tattooed... Just say yes!"

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/

If you have a website, a Substack, a YouTube channel, Twitch, IG, FB, or newsletter, you have a vested interest in moving over to Bluesky where your external links aren't throttled. Elon isn't looking out for you; he's looking out for Elon.
Elon admits that any post on X with a link is throttled
He advises you to upload content directly to X instead, where he can monetize it
Musk is the richest person in the world and his view is everyone should work for him for free

CAT ADVISORY: With temperatures remaining uncomfortably low and #StormBert on its way it's important that you find the warmest spot in the house and stay there. Tell your humans to keep the second warmest spot free in case you want a change of scenery.
