- Twitter funded Bluesky, Jack had no personal stake. - Brock Pierce has never been involved in Bluesky. - Brock has not been involved in Blockchain Capital for many years. - BCAP, who led this last round, is only one out of many investors we have.

A colleague was asking whether I, too, found Bluesky in the browser to be a little harder to read than Threads. I definitely do! My suspicions as to why have indeed borne out — with an unexpected twist. 1/9 →

this is a genuinely “you can’t leave!!!!” kind of obsession. without the specter of the strange leftist, it becomes very easy to clock rightwing punditry & stances as absurd. bsky.app/profile/brai...

This is crazy, the total website visits to bluesky exceeded threads despite threads having over ten times the user base.

This chart shows daily U.S. website visits for Bluesky and Threads, indicating a notable surge in visits to Bluesky's website starting in October 2024. Bluesky's visits (blue line) steadily increased until October and then spiked sharply, surpassing 1.2 million visits. In contrast, Threads (orange line) showed consistent fluctuations but did not experience a similar surge. This data excludes mobile app users and highlights web traffic trends based on SimilarWeb's analysis.

Some context is pre-Trump Can Use This For A Bad Kind of Fascism this was intro’d 9/9/24 to fuck up pro-Palestine/anti-zionist organizations. The Dem yeses are all pro-Israel. It failed because the new Trump Fascism Bad context. Because repressing anti-genocide organizing is Good Fascism.

Meanwhile slightly obscured by the election news IDF Brig Gen Itzik Cohen says: “there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return to their homes” Which seems like a pretty open admission of ethnic cleansing. www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

Palestinians will not be allowed to return to homes in northern Gaza, says IDF

Brig Gen Itzik Cohen said in a briefing that aid would only be allowed to enter south of the strip, not the north

This zine presents Aaron Bushnell's politics in his own words, along with memories of Aaron from four of his close friends. crimethinc.com/Aaronzine Please print these out and share them.

A photograph of the cover of a zine named "Memories of Aaron Bushnell 1998-2024." The cover shows a black-and-white picture of Aaron wearing a long-sleeved shirt—a red shirt that his friends remember him often wearing—standing in front of a car.

A photograph of a zine open to page 7, which reads:

My friend Aaron was kind, compassionate, and principled, sometimes to the point of being annoying, and he was incredibly reflective and willing to change to meet my needs in our relationship. He was one of my quickest and best friends.

I loved Aaron deeply. I have few regrets from my relationship with him. I was consistently vulnerable and open, which he returned in kind. I told him all the things I felt for him and often. I spent as much time with him as I possibly could and I am very grateful that I did. What I am most afraid of in this moment is that our relationship, our friendship, the deep, deep love I had for him, all of the little intimate moments, the bits, the laughs, the facts about his takes, all of it—I am afraid to be the only person holding that knowledge. I don’t want it to disappear, I don’t want it to be held only by me and my fallible memory. I just want people to know that I loved him.

I'm not exaggerating.

distorted the foreign policy of Israel's main sponsor, the US. In 1982, shortly before Reagan bluntly ordered Begin to cease his
'holocaust' in Lebanon, a young US senator who revered Elie Wiesel as his great teacher met the Israeli prime minister. In Begin's own stunned account of the meeting, the senator commended the Israeli war effort and boasted that he would have gone further, even if it meant killing women and children.
Begin himself was taken aback by the words of the future US president, Joe Biden. 'No, sir, he insisted. 'According to our values, it is forbidden to hurt women and children, even in war ... This is a yardstick of human civilisation, not to hurt civilians.'

"Mere world domination is no use to a repressive regime. As soon as there are no barbarians at the gates to point to as the greater of two evils, the subjects start getting restless—witness the decade following the fall of the Berlin Wall, when internal unrest grew in the vacuum left by communism."

At this point, it's widely understood that Benjamin Netanyahu helped to support the rise of Hamas. “Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas,” Netanyahu said in 2019. But there is less discussion about how US foreign policy did the same. 🧵⬇️
