And the West... Looks weaker by the day through not helping Ukraine when it can do so much, with so little.

**Operation Spiders Web**

I resisted a hot take. So, on sober reflection…

Op Spiderweb was one of the most impressive, and strategic attacks ever. Short thread 🧵 #russia #Ukraine

As Labor re-enters government with a clear mandate on climate, the North West Shelf will be their first big test. Can they be trusted to act?

Ukraine has supplied the U.S. with extensive intelligence and vast amounts of data on Russian technology, captured equipment, battlefield operational guides, weapon performance, and countermeasures against US provided systems. A shame no one seems to remembers or appreciates it

The greatest business battle EVER to be fought will come when President Elon starts trying to implement AI for federal processes.

The battle will be fought over which company’s AI will be used by the feds.

This is a zero sum battle that will create more chaos than this country has ever seen

Social media companies are such a weird business model to me. The company creates no value, it’s the ‘talent’ on the company that creates value through the content that they create.

Did you know BlueSky only has 20 employees?

We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to those 20 warriors (who are working 24/7 to keep up with the incredible growth) for giving us a space to share.

We escaped hell to be here.

Thank you, @bsky.app & Jay Graber CEO (not a billionaire)

In the 3X: Explore/Expand/Extract model people ask about the transition from Explore to Expand. How do you know when it's time?
Answer: The market tells you. Like this. You can't force it.

The latest return to the office drive is comedy at its finest. CEOs dragging everyone back while also running projects to see how many knowledge workers they can replace with pay per thought AI agents.

Can someone tell me how Bluesky is insured against the normal process of a service growing to commodity level, failing to create a sustainable margin, shrinking and then being sold to someone with cash and low ethics?
