I mean sure, but it's also about where I direct my attention, and there's just so much news being posted to the platform (I never go to LinkedIn in comparison) that it's not just about cross-posting, it's also about consumption in order to participate in various conversations.

For an inside look into the mind of the Trump Administration: 1. Go to america.gov 2. type “hello” 3. type “play Minecraft” 4. watch the agent’s reality implode 5. ??? 6. PROFIT!

W Social has raised approximately €2.5 million while Eurosky's investment hasn't been disclosed, though it was initially funded through @freeourfeeds.com. @eurosky.social aims to raise €5–7 million over the next 12 months (€15 million by 2028). Curious ROI on rather different growth stories here!

Trump declares he is "forming the AI Force, much like I did Space Force, which has been a tremendous SUCCESS, in my First Term. To that end, I will be announcing, in the near future, the AI “Czar” — Only High I.Q. individuals need apply!"

I bristle at that because it puts the individual in a subservient role, whereas it’s possible to run your own PDS, but not your own cell provider. Maybe normies won’t care about doing that, but words have a funny way of becoming deterministic. If we forget what ATProto is for, we’re doomed.

The image features a bold text design against a deep red background. The phrase "Your wife is calling," appears multiple times, with the top and bottom instances in a lighter font, while the central text highlights "extremely cool harmonica/guitar/drum" in a striking white font. The overall layout emphasizes the contrast between the repeated phrase and the central declaration, creating a visually engaging effect.

X Money apparently is rolling out. Taking a page out of PayPal's playbook. This is telling: campaignId=xmoney-early-access-07-24-2026-wave-4 x.com/i/money?from... #NewXMoney

The image displays a promotional pop-up for a financial service called "X Money." The message emphasizes the urgency of not missing out on exclusive access, highlighting benefits such as a 6% annual percentage yield (APY) on account balances and a 3% cashback offer with an associated metal card. There are two buttons at the bottom: one to claim a $25 incentive and another to decline the offer. The background is dark with a subtle design, creating a contrast that makes the text and buttons stand out.

Look what I found in trumpaccount.com/robots.txt

The image displays a playful ASCII art representation of a robot with large eyes and a speech bubble containing the phrase "Exterminate all humans.txt." Below the robot, there are additional ASCII characters forming its body and arms.

Additionally, the image includes a section labeled "User-agent: *" which outlines directives for web crawlers. The directives specify paths that are allowed and disallowed for crawling, such as allowing access to "/applinks.well-known/" while disallowing access to various paths like "/home/", "/account/", and others. A link to the sitemap is also provided at the end.
