I am terribly reminded of Satyajit Ray’s movie Goopy Gyne Bangha Byrne because everybody on social media is acting as if war is some kind of a sport. A small clip from the movie (sorry but it’s in Bengali).

It's not just a rejection of Trump - though it is. It's a rejection of Peter Dutton.
Both things are incredibly well deserved.

In less than hour, Australia will vote again, in what can be one of the angriest eras in the nation’s history. I only hope, people see less angry times ahead and more support from the administrators.

Neat use of the daily average time spent on X app made popular by Apple's 'Screen Time' feature in service of showcasing how immersive the product (in this case, a hotel property) is. Surprisingly, this is an in-house effort, not by an external agency!

This is absolutely heartbreaking
So, I didn't make the connection at first, but US Figure skating nationals were held in Wichita this weekend. I watched them with my wife, who loves figure skating.
Multiple up-and-coming skaters and their coaches were on that flight. This is a huge blow to the US figure skating community.

The problem with Blue Sky is it is very US-centric. Which is fine if you want to focus only on US, UK and allies. But to develop or grow in other countries where social media really make difference (sans the fake news), Blue Sky has a lot of miles to cover. But I guess that’s not their aim.
