While X has gone to hell as a platform, it still has frustratingly compelling doomscroll content, but I've lost all enthusiasm to post. Need to be more active on here.

In an age where we can access almost any information within a few seconds on our phones, it's incredible to see the election of a global leader announced with a literal smoke signal, and there's still an hour-long wait for the detail. Tradition is cool.

Literally any other sport: "WHAT THE FUCK, GET THESE RIDICULOUS FLOWERS OFF MY SCREEN, WHAT THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING??? SHOW ME THE ATHLETES AND THEIR FREAK ABILITIES!" #TheMasters: "Beautiful. Gorgeous. Poignant. Love this. Take a moment, smell the petals. Life is a journey."

At a glance, paying $1.11m for a modern baseball card seems crazy 🤯 But when you dig into the numbers, this Paul Skenes autograph presents a shrewd investment, marketing, brand and sales opportunity for the buyer, DICKS Sporting Goods. My take 📰➡️ www.linkedin.com/pulse/why-us...

Not many podcasts are good at integrating ads. It's either crude brand slaps or clumsy planted promo under the guise of native. Refreshing to see how @footballcliches.bsky.social integrate theirs. The only pod I won't just mash the "skip 15s" button multiple times when the sponcon begins.

No matter how many years we are away from home, Carols by Candlelight in Melbourne is an annual tradition, and this year.... we have family here and our hearts are so full 🥰

Welcome, Ava Anneke Hogg ❤️ Born on 26/11/24 at 8:40am, Ava made quite an entrance into the world and ensured she was center of attention from day 1. After a short NICU visit to give her little lungs a helping hand, she is now thriving & settling into life, filling our home & hearts with happiness.

I'm surprised - even several weeks later - how many large publishers, leagues, teams and "notables" haven't verified their domains here. Even without direct access to your DNS, this should be a relatively simple process for authenticity and clean handle branding.

There aren't many companies on earth that would see their share price INCREASE after the CEO is assassinated before the market opens.

I came onto Bluesky an hour ago, and the first two things I saw were posts providing useful context for understanding the imposition of martial law in South Korea—the exact kind of thing that Twitter used to be so useful for in a developing crisis.

Time to give @bluesky props. As I write this, there are 560 quotes and replies to the post below. Of those only 4 call me names and give me shit. About 15 do the same towards Trump. The remaining 541 are on topic and add value. 👏👏👏👏👏

11pm. Wired. Can't sleep. Becoming a first-time dad in a few hours. I'll probably never sleep again. The irony is not lost on me 😅

The whole proposal is absurd and the fact that teens would be banned from LinkedIn - at a key juncture of their lives for network building and job seeking - is simply insane. What are you doing Australia?

How's the real estate industry in Australia right now you might ask? Well, one agent labelled a school inside a youth prison as "nearby college" as a selling point 😬 via r/melbourne

So I was SUPER excited to discover @deck.blue last night. It looks (and functions) EXACTLY like Tweetdeck did, giving you full control over your accounts and allowing you to get the most out of Bluesky. A short thread 👇🧵

Woah, Bluesky has a deck, that functions EXACTLY like Tweetdeck did: deck.blue I am very, very optimistic about this site!

This platform really does feel like OG Twitter 🥰 I appreciate development takes time (and they've done an INCREDIBLE job to keep up with load), but would love to see: 🔹 Bookmarks 🔹 Group DMs 🔹 Media in DMs 🔹 Drafts 🔹 Translation 🔹 Better search 🔹 Add video & image to same post 🔹 Longer video

You know what else I love about this platform? They made the avatar and banner ratios EXACTLY THE SAME as Twitter, so you literally don't need to create any new assets or sizes. Migration is that simple.

If you work in social, now would be a good time to quietly set up any channels on this app. If it truly takes off, you'll want to be ready.

Haven't been here in a while and wow, they really have made this site look like (old) Twitter 🥰🥰🥰 Now all it needs is a critical mass of users!
