Just a reminder that Musk couldn’t get a top level security clearance. And he was under investigation for violating the terms of the clearance he did have. Now he has your Social Security number, your tax returns, and is unilaterally deciding who the government does and does not pay.

I know there are too many fires to fight all at once, but the takeover of the US Treasury payment system by an unelected oligarch has to rank near the top. If you haven’t called your representatives to stop him, do it today. 5calls.org/issue/elon-musk-opm-gsa-…

The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

That’s amazing news, congratulations Albert. Get some rest and prioritize what’s important; something tells me this might be a news-heavy week ahead.

I feel like reposting this daily. If you've ever sat within earshot of someone scrolling Instagram or TikTok, you'll realize that Carl was being overly optimistic.

I know it’s dangerous to speculate on motives, but I can’t help but wonder if #UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson would still be alive today if the US had implemented universal healthcare. I know a lot of other people would be.

With a fully remote team of just 20 employees, Bluesky has surpassed 20 million users in its first year since opening to the public and is stealing thunder from rivals hundreds of times its size. At a time when conventional wisdom among bosses is that workers must be in-person to be productive.

Eventually I moved on to other programming languages (and got a girlfriend and a social life) but the memory of those days staying up all night writing text adventure games in BASIC with my high school friends still makes me smile.

Later I convinced my parents to buy me a computer, and spent even more hours at home typing in BASIC programs from magazines and eventually writing my own.

I remember spending hours learning BASIC by hanging out at the Radio Shack in the mall, writing programs on the TRS-80 until the store clerks would chase me away.

I know, it started off feeling like hanging out with friends at a party, and ended up more like shouting "anyone want to hear a joke?" at a bar fight. So far this place feels like the former; I hope it stays that way.

If you miss TweetDeck and other multicolumn apps and want a similarly good experience on BlueSky, @deck.blue is a really nice option (and the solo developer @gildaswise.com who built it is looking for work if anyone is hiring).

I joined Twitter way back in early 2007, when there were only about 50,000 active users. Once it became X I knew it was only a matter of time until I left, but I thought the feeling was going to be bittersweet. I have to say though, clicking that Deactivate option today just felt sweet.

Good morning, Bluesky! 🦋 Starter packs are great— but do take the time to: 1) Look up fav influencers and hunt in their followers to find your friends. 2) follow back (as much as reasonable) 3) Engage in conversations It’s important to build real mutually-supportive & engaged community here.

I’m torn between wanting all of the accounts I followed on Twitter to make their way here and basking a little longer in the peace and quiet before they do.
