Theories from research in anthropology, history and African studies, combined with new data on independent political communities in pre-colonial Africa, provide an alternate view of the continent’s history. Read today's article to learn more:

@cemurphy.bsky.social I saw your two great starter lists of foundational SciFi texts for a new reader. I’ve got sort of the opposite question- I’m looking for a Sci-Fi short story title I read long ago but can’t remember. Can you recommend a SciFi reader forum where I could ask that?

Like many other European social democratic parties, Labour is moving right on immigration, certainly driven by the recent success of Reform. We have researched this question for years now. There is an abundance of evidence of why this isn't a good strategy. A thread summarizing some of our research

“Hear me out: Bluesky, in 2025, but it stays EXACTLY the same as it was before millions of new users showed up.” This type of commentary from the Bluesky OGs is super childish. Its “open” and “decentralized” until someone shows up and with different ideas than yours.

Bluesky needs timed mutes. Mute someone you follow, for like 24 hours, 7 days, etc. And then that autocancels. For someone* locked in to speed overshare mode, but they’re still cool people.

Nuzzel was a great news-aggregating tool that showed you the most popular links that folks you followed on Twitter were sharing... Then Twitter bought Nuzzel, and killed it 💀 Well now, someone claims to have built a similar tool for Bluesky. 🦋 sill.social (Also works w/Mastodon 🐘)

The mute/block actions should be available ON the post. You should not have to click through to the post, then to the profile to do them. Once in you then have to click back out. Could save 4 clicks on the round trip. Or am I doing it wrong?

The Bad Fediverse, or, reasons why I waited so long to jump on the decentralized social media train. Lack of disambiguation from Facebook/Threads and crypto scams is why. Erin Kisssane dissects the Threads threat here. (BTW, is Erin Kissane on Bluesky?) #fediverse erinkissane.com/untangling-t...

Untangling Threads - Erin Kissane's small internet website

Meta's Threads service is joining the Fediverse, and I think there are some things about Meta—and about Fediverse mechanics—that it's important to include in that conversation.

Even though I tend to program using language runtimes like Go, which have automated memory management, I find it useful to understand the fundamentals of memory management, stacks, and pointers, especially when things go wrong, or when interfacing with existing C libraries.
