Someone put up a tile mosaic on a public building in Seattle showing a rat looking to the heavens, with the title “Hot Rat Summer.” The city painted over it. So of course, the rat showed up at a city council meeting to protest
A rat (or a person in a rat costume, who could say) speaks at a city council meeting. In the background a security guard looks too old for this shit.

This is a nice thread about The Onion. Thank you for saying nice things, and I can confirm the premise: If you pay your staff well, and you allow them to do what they're great at, it works better than chasing algorithms. The art is better, the truth is found easier, and—bonus!—the revenue is better.

The amount of user control provided by the AT Protocol, custom feeds, and moderation lists is what makes this attempt feel different and more resistant to the inevitable slide into toxicity and enshittification that has plagued prior social media platforms, and time will tell if that approach works.
