“Throughout life we're just accumulating guests to attend our funeral."

I thought it’s just a meme, but I finally could feel it at my friend’s funeral. The crowded service reflected the positive impact he left in this world.

The new acting Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy — State’s top public diplomacy official:

1) not only denies the Uyghur genocide but appears to applaud it

2) says the US should sell out Taiwan to China for concessions in Antarctica (???)

Trump's top defense official for Southeast Asia on cutting aid to the Philippines:

"The US might begin a cooperation spiral with China by proposing to remove US military forces or weapons systems from the Philippines in exchange for the CCG executing fewer patrols..."

Is that really the CEO of TikTok sitting next to the next Director of National Intelligence — Tulsi Gabbard — at President Trump’s inauguration?

Evidently, yes.

If progressiveness is about bringing people together, then regressiveness will bring isolation and segregation.

We are witnessing the end of a progressive era, we can only hope we don’t get wiped out before the next progressive era returns, as climate change and unclear war are new to this cycle.
I’m worried that the exodus from Meta and Twitter is what they want. To isolate us from each other.

Isolation is a big part of autocracy. It makes people easier to lie to and abuse.

I don’t have a global answer, but I am working on building a social media space for our podcast listeners.

One tweet contains no nuance, so I'll post this great summary from a year ago by David Wallace-Wells, for those who want nuance on the causes of fires and the role of climate change vis-a-vis other factors
Fires Are the Sum of Our Choices (Gift Article)
Climate change, ecology and fire suppression have combined to bring us the return of the “urban firestorm.”

One thing I find very annoying in #skycards is I can only unlock airports that are destinations, but there are a lot of flights without the destination showing up.

I can tell a flight is heading towards Antarctica, but it doesn’t have a destination.

Jeff Bezos never wanted this cartoon to become public.

He killed it, and as a result, pulitzer prize editorial cartoonist Ann Telnaes quit.

First of all, it’s not an Air Canada operated flight. It was operated by PAL Airlines on behalf of Air Canada. This is very common with bigger airlines outside certain routes to other operators. Eg: American Eagle flights are not operated by American Airlines.

Reading posts like these and their replies makes me wants to leave BlueSky, as I have done with other social media in the past 🙄
Since December 25th, at least 3 different planes in NATO affiliated countries have had "technical issues".

South Korea Jeju Air Flight 2216
Norway KLM Flight 1204
Canada Air Canada Flight 2259

I work in this industry. It always saddens me when accidents happen.

I know there will be comments about Boeing planes being unsafe. But this model has been flying since 1998. Bringing the MAX debacle into this is pointless.

I don’t know what kind of tactic it is and I’m sick of hearing it.

“How do you know the election wasn’t stolen?”
“How do you know Hunter Biden’s laptop didn’t have evidence about the stolen election?”
“How do you know FBI didn’t plant fake evidence in Mar-a-lago?”

NDP & LIBERALS did a lot to better the country, especially for poor families. IT ISN'T PERFECT, BUT AT LEAST THEY'RE TRYING. I'm NDP, but I'll be damned if I give the country to PP #cdnpoli #Canada @liberal-party.bsky.social @ndp.ca
The question before every Canadian is: do you want to live like a Canadian or an American? Conservatives support Trump word for word so expect zero healthcare and benefits under the Cons. If you want to remain Canadian, vote Liberal. Unite against the Cons to save Canada.
