there's a moment in PARADISE LOST where Satan arrives in Eden and realizes Hell isn't a place; it's a thing he carries within him and it'll follow him wherever he goes. and i think about that when i see these awful rich men whose monstrous wealth has enriched them not at all

Many of the settings were in Hide by default. I’d set them on Warn to see how much of that junk is out there.
If you aren't seeing posts from some of the people you follow, they might have been labeled "Rude" by Bluesky mods. To switch it off go to Settings > Moderation > Bluesky Moderation (Advanced) and turn Rude off.

So I was looking into the Mamdani zeitgeist. Most comments were happy, some were not. I looked into the unhappy ones and almost all of the poster profiles had the word “Zionist” in them.
And they really didn’t need to bother because their timelines said the same thing over and over and over.

Looks like X is juicing web visit numbers by opening a browser WebView in the background whether the user visits the link or not.

![Tell HN: X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not

Just saw the CEO of Substack celebrating traffic from X/Twitter shooting up thinking they stopped suppressing tweets with links[0]. Actually, this traffic is because now any time you open a tweet with a link, the in-app webview loads in the background, and displays when you press the link.
I run an ecom store that gets a lot of its customers from Twitter. I was also shocked to see my traffic double or triple overnight and thought the algorithm had blessed me and my business. Soon realized what was actually happening. Thought other traffic-monitors might appreciate this explanation.
Meanwhile Nikita Bier is pretending they never suppressed tweets with links to begin with, offering the alternative explanation: "a common complaint is that posts with links tend to get lower reach. This is because the web browser covers the post and people forget to Like or Reply. So X doesn't get a clear signal whether the content is any good"[1]. A bit of a rewriting of history since Elon and his mom both tweeted about how it wasn't fair to use his platform to promote other links/platforms, even banning people who shared profiles of other social networks (including Paul Graham for a period). They suppressed all links shortly after.

This sucks so much. US please get off your oil addiction.
European negotiators were personally targeted by their American counterparts during a brutal negotiation over green shipping rules, European Commission officials told POLITICO.
This highly unusual gambit left diplomats shaken after the meeting.

On Thursday I learned the Brazilian guitar god Kiko Loureiro is coming to my local venue in two weeks.
Then I looked at their other gigs and today they had another Brazilian guitarist, Lari Basilio. So I bought a ticket ex tempore.
She was great 🤩

The feels when you watch a video about a steam boat and then discover your great-granddad, granddad and dad have all been at the helm of that boat. (Although my dad was only 6-7 yo at the time 😇)
Viime viikonloppuna tuli päätettyä #höyrylaiva -kausi 2025 Nässyllä, kun käytiin #Visuvesi -laivalla paaluvetokilpailuissa Länsi-Teiskossa. Tuollaista syysmaisemaa ja pimeäajovideota syntyi.

I’m reading Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol but it’s just not as good as I expected. It’s awfully repetitive. Two albums in and we’re in a third fictional alternative reality 🥱

I wanted to offer some thoughts on the Gates climate memo that has been circulating this week. While I can't directly speak for others, I can say that my own response is one of dismay & deep frustration (and that this view is shared by many climate/Earth scientists). [1/n]
