My 14-year-old self would never have guessed that, in 50 years' time, all the world's music would be available at the click of a button, you'd navigate the globe by carrying a tiny computer around in your pocket, and the US President would post a video of himself shitting over American citizens.

But when your client calls and asks, “What’s going on?”, you better have more than an AI-generated recap.

@andimanas.bsky.social explains why thinking can’t be automated.

In years to come, the way Tesla’s brand went from conscientious to toxic will be studied in marketing and PR circles.

Brand toxicity will lead to reduced sales which in turn will kill the share value.

All because Elon didn’t have friends as a kid.

Twitter is dead. X is a dystopia.

Bluesky might be the future, but can it escape the same fate?

And why we wonder why revolutions happened?
A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive.

This is what oligarchy looks like.

There have been reports that Trump could seek to lure the UK away from the EU’s regulatory orbit.
