Spent the week with family in Kaua'i, and I learned that it's not just any paradise: it's chicken paradise. These fellas are all over, and you can hear their majestic calls every so often. Real good energy!

Damn, looks like @jonbois.bsky.social is now in the pocket of Big Two. The way to reform Big Tech isn't to Just Add One
if you're a tech journalist in the present climate, it's incumbent upon you to ask why big tech is pursuing dead ends like AI when they could just start using the number 2. ones and zeroes have taken us as far as they can. either chuck a few 2s in there or cede the future of tech to those who will

Joni Mitchell is almost certainly the most influential female musician of the 20th century. How do we only have one, mediocre biography of her? I would devour all 1,500 pages of a Robert Caro-esque book chronicling her life & music in a heartbeat.

Getting in the weeds of these protocols, it's easy to get lost in the trees, but taking a step back to see the forest, it seems like... 🧵
1) Bluesky is mostly just a Twitter clone. In practical terms, it's not decentralized/federated, i.e. they make content decisions, can read dms, etc.

Seeing these Trump court cases voluntarily winding down is pretty scary. Feels like preemptive compliance under fascism, right?
If they really have a case (they do), why not force Trump's hand?

Lots of new people joining Bluesky, and lots of great starter packs floating around, so here’s another idea: if you work at the intersection of food/agriculture, nature, and climate, introduce yourself and what you do below so folks can keep connecting. Who’s here now?

High school sports haven't crossed my mind in years, but making our country better for trans people matters. To manage that, we have to win elections, but Dems have been too busy greasing the squeakiest wheels to build a broad coalition that can actually deliver the goods www.vox.com/policy/38554...
