📌Then there's this ... A network correspondent of repute speaks his mind and says what everybody knows, and is verifiably true: The vile Stephen Miller is a "world-class hater."
📌It's past time for people who know better to speak up. THAT'S what he was thinking, NYT. Lean in and follow the example.

Can confirm @jay.bsky.team here: Bluesky has become a great driver of referral traffic. Not demoting link posts is huge, and the community of readers / responders here feels more thoughtful and engaged. X has become essentially worthless for the task

![There’s been an influx of big creators onto Bluesky, but there’s no direct way for them to monetize their work yet. Are you going to change that?
We’re giving them great traffic—and that can convert to money. One big thing is we don’t downrank links, so if you are a YouTube creator or you have a Patreon and you post those links on Bluesky, you’re getting higher link traffic, even with a smaller follower count. This is true of small creators and even news organizations. We’ve heard from large news organizations that Bluesky has better click-throughs and better subscription rates. [WIRED can vouch for this: The platform has become a top traffic driver and source of new subscribers.]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:j5fbnzh57rn7xz65yjc36gxb/bafkreibuwjyptgsyz2rjfsoiq6622nft7pbm7tpleozfokdc4tui7hk7zq@jpeg)

After first seeing it with a friend last weekend at an IMAX theater in the city, I saw #Sinners again today—this time, solo—at a regular degular theater in my Queens neighborhood. Going to the matinee show, I saw things I missed the first time around, so #SinnersMovie rewards repeat viewing. #movies

Trump & the GOP are already coming for your food & healthcare. Their tariffs are raising prices.
And now they want to seize your wages, tax refunds & Social Security if your student loans are in default.
This is cruel, it hurts our most vulnerable—and we have a bill to stop it.

We devote musicals, miniseries, and documentaries to the founders of our first republic and not to those of our second, who saw this country with clear eyes.
We need fewer encomiums for Jefferson, Madison, and Lafayette. More respect for Sumner, Stevens, Bingham and Douglass (Frederick).

Which founders? The founders of our second founding, those who drafted and ratified the 14th Amendment did.
That’s why they drafted Sec. 2 that would punish states that engaged in voter suppression and Sec. 3 that bars insurrectionists from serving in state or federal govt.

Over 100,000 people are marching through The Hague against Israel's war on Gaza.
Wearing red clothing and forming a line, they are demanding the government draw a red line in its stance against Israel.
It's the largest protest in the Netherlands in 20 years.

Marc Andreessen is one of the most influential men in America. The billionaire venture capitalist has an audience with everyone from Trump officials to pundits to Democratic senators to tech execs the world over.
So it’s a bit concerning that his worldview leans fascist. 🧵 /1
