If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

When @wired.com made FOIA-based stories free, subscriptions went up.

When @404media.co published public records reporting without a paywall, new sources came forward.

We spoke to both about why dropping paywalls like this is good for journalism — and for business.

2/ Western analysts must avoid the trap of imagining that Russian forces cannot pose a meaningful short-term threat to frontline NATO states because they can hardly gain ground in Ukraine today.

We're so relieved to see Germany reaffirm its opposition to the dangerous Chat Control proposal--the one that would mandate mass scanning of communications. Germany's long been a solid champion of privacy, and the news that it was considering backing mass surveillance was alarming. 1/

Interesting development. False flagged potential RU shadow tanker obviously close to German navy entitled to control according to new 🇩🇪 operation commands since July 1st. Some background: bsky.app/profile/fran...
False flagged shadow tanker NOBLE WALKER has last day unimpeded passed through Danish territorial waters and will likely enter Germany in 2h.

She is about to do her fourth ~100k ton oil delivery last 12 months.

Given that she is without a flag she is ripe for picking had there been actual will.

Interesting insight from a former DOGE staffer: Sahil Lavingia, who was DOGE's man in the VA. No big surprises, but rather an account of a genuinely good intentioned person captured by seductive ideals, and a reconning when they meet reality. www.npr.org/2025/06/13/1...
