Oswald Mosley's grandson, Louis, is the UK head of Palantir.
Bertrand Russell, at 89 years old, to Sir Oswald Mosley, a man most famous for founding, in 1932, the British Union of Fascists.

I'm all for civil discourse. But everyone can and should draw a line at who they will talk to.

Notice that Russell did not demean himself with incivility, either.

Hi guys, did you already know there are competitions for window tinting? With better commentators than most of the tennis matches I’ve watched on ESPN? (Low bar I know)

Anyway if you need to procrastinate harder than you’ve ever procrastinated before, I got you

Always found the sailing in Wind Waker an extremely soothing experience. Just cruising the ocean with no goal. I tried to recreate this in #pico8.

If we take rate of likes as a general measure of activity, that means X was about 30 times bigger in June than Bluesky is now. That may seem like a big difference, but keep in mind that Bluesky has consistently been doubling user numbers every few months, and a factor of 30 is only 5 doublings.

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.
