I came across this lovely #app to play via your #Bluesky account, it works with other #Atmosphere logins too. #Sidetrail is by @danabra.mov, who'd also worked developing on Bluesky itself. Sort of short guided #storytelling. Something to make you smile!

I’ve had a curious enthusiasm for #Fusion #Energy for a long time. It is what makes a #star a star and is the source of most of the naturally occurring energy on #Earth This interview with #Helion CEO #DavidKirtley is a great listen to understand where this is going
