This morning at Dept of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) HQ in DC as mandatory return to office began, this video played on loop for ~5 mins on screens throughout the building, per agency source.
Building staff couldn’t figure out how to turn it off so sent people to every floor to unplug TVs.

The only way BlueSky is going to replace X is if everybody just follows as many people as you can. Don't worry about replicating what you had. Just follow people. It's going to be a bit boring until people build up their web of people.
