Today I counted more than 50 subreddits that went through with banning links from X, reaching more than 40 million combined members. At least 20 million of those members were encouraged to join Bluesky, instead.

Y’all really listen to music everyday? Like every single day? No skips? Just daily sounds in your ears?

Remember the late Philippine President who broke protocol on a last ditch effort to halt her execution. PNoy succeeded. And now she comes home to a Philippines that no longer has Tokhang as official policy. To have second chances in life is always worth celebrating.
