Bluesky shows incorrect follower and following counts at the top of profiles. This is a well-known, long-standing problem that still hasn't been fixed. For example, the following count I retrieved via the API is more than 5,000—about 10%—lower than what Bluesky displays on my profile page.

Yesterday, Bluesky moderators warned me about broken guidelines but cited vague rules without specifics. I asked for clarity and objective criteria, as subjective rules hurt trust. Awaiting their reply, but this makes me question staying on a platform with unclear moderation and unfriendly attitude.

Baby Matheus Gabriel was born in Brazil clutching the IUD meant to prevent his conception. His doctor placed it in his hand after birth, captioning the photo: "Holding my victory trophy: the IUD that couldn’t handle me!" Both mother and baby are healthy despite complications.

Russell Thurlow Vought (IPA: /voʊt/ VOHT, born March 26, 1976) is an American government official, Christian Nationalist, and conservative political analyst who has served as the 44th director of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) since February 2025. Vought previously served as director of the OMB in the first Trump administration from 2020 to 2021, and served as deputy director of the OMB from 2018 to 2020.

Vought is the founder of the Center for Renewing America, a conservative think tank aimed at countering progressive social values, promoting an "America First" foreign policy, addressing border security and immigration, and reforming the federal bureaucracy.[1] He has also played a significant role in Project 2025, an initiative led by the Heritage Foundation that aims to advance conservative policies and reshape the federal government.[2] In May 2024, he was appointed Policy Director of the Republican National Committee's platform committee.

On November 23, 2024, President-elect Donald Trump announced the nomination of Vought as Director of the OMB for his second term as president. Vought's nomination was confirmed by the U.S. Senate on February 6, 2025 by a vote of 53–47. On August 29, 2025, Vought took charge of the USAID closeout after it was folded into the U.S. Department of State.

I acted in movies and organized film festivals, but I’m fascinated by the idea of replacing actors with AI, like Tilly Norwood. Created in 2025 by Xicoia (Particle6 Group), she starred in "AI Commissioner" and more. Would you watch a film with AI actors? What do you think?
