This chart highlights how different regions are faring in their @gofundme.com wildfire recovery campaigns.

Chico, CA, hit by the massive Park Fire in July 2024, leads with $51M in requested donations. Why? Time Bias: Chico is now deep in the rebuilding phase, driving focused fundraising efforts. Meanwhile, areas in LA are still in the displacement stage, where families are beginning to assess damages.

China’s state media thought they had Twitter on lock. Now Bluesky is soaring, and Beijing’s PR machine is scrambling for Plan B. 📉

Free market economics are playing out. Bluesky is only 28% penetrated using the number of democrat votes as a proxy for total addressable market. Bluesky needs more servers!

Bluesky has 72% left. Currently at 28%. 21M/74.521M. Buy more servers, you’re going to need it!
