I spent a lot of time in my book breaking down WHY this is happening — it’s *content meets community*

- A lot of people don’t want “politics” or “news”, they want to be entertained…comedy, culture

- They want to feel like they’re listening to someone relatable, who talks like them, is like them.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

Last night's eclipse from the perspective of the moon. dang.
Wow — this shot of a total solar eclipse is truly one of the coolest things I've seen in a long time. Shot from the moon's surface by @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social's Blue Ghost lander, it shows the sun about to emerge from behind the Earth. What a beautiful cosmic perspective! 💍

Just past sunrise on Sol 4476, the Mars Curiosity Rover used MastCam to take a large mosaic of the surroundings. Here’s my favorite part, looking towards the future drive path and boxworks.

tired of people treating trump like he is anything other than an ego-driven simpleton (i wrote this, this is a piece about why he is nothing more than an ego driven simpleton.)
Opinion | Trump’s Revenge Tour Finds Its True Target (Gift Article)
It is hard to describe the president’s first month and a half in office as something other than a retribution campaign against the American people.

I wrote this bit that is entirely unrelated to current things

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!

with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

The Ottawa crowd just booed the American national anthem at a hockey game against the Minnesota Wild.

I don’t think that’s ever happened before.
