Gen Z is amazing. I asked a (paid) intern to bring me 50 blank pieces of copier paper and when she brought them in they were warm. Turns out that, rather than count them, she set the copier to 50 and printed blank sheets. Genius.

I've said it before but we'll know that Bluesky has made it in Japan when Kōno Tarō shows up here and becomes a power user.
Japanese social media users are quickly taking to Bluesky and other X alternatives, with data suggesting the start of a durable trend.
Bluesky is booming in Japan — mainly for reasons other than U.S. politics
Average monthly user numbers for Bluesky on Android in Japan quintupled in the 12 months to October, while figures for X were down over that time.
