Stand up. Not because you are called to stand up but because others may need to see you stand before they do. Iain S Thomas @realiainsthomas.bsky.social

I write to remind you of the truth because it doesn’t last. It floats away like petals in a stream and each day we must find it again and say, “This is beautiful. This is beautiful.” We forget and, each day, we must remember. Iain S Thomas @realiainsthomas.bsky.social

This is the stuff I'm a doomer about. Real journalism takes time - even a quick, original 700-word story requires a lot of legwork, relationships, etc. It can never compete with instant slop, or accounts that just plagiarize news for free with more sensationalistic (and wrong) framing.

We should, as a society, all agree to start the run-up to Halloween on January 1. Just for one year to see how it goes. We won't know if it works until we try it.

posting reviews feels like the final boss of self promotion but we work so hard & have been making this largely on our own. it’s a tough industry & we’re up against a lot of famous & rich faces. so if any of this sounds like a show you or someone you know would like- try us out or tell a pal
A 5 star review that reads “I’ve listened to every episode of this podcast and enjoyed every second. I originally started listened because I missed The High Low, but now I just love this podcast in its own right and I look forward to each new episode. The topic choices are always on point and the hosts are witty, wise, honest, relatable and funny. Keep up the amazing work girls!A five star review reading 10/10 best podcast out there. Listening to smart women discuss pop culture in the most relevant, insightful way. A five star review reading: I love the dynamic between you all, the intelligent culture and analysis and the topics you cover. I look forward to it every week. A five star review reading: Listen without fail every week and is definitely filling the high low shaped hole in my life. Keep up the amazing work gals. 

This is followed my three clapping emojis.

What's the best way to report out the *definitive* story of our autonomous robotaxi future? A daylong car chase through the streets of San Francisco, OBVIOUSLY. www.wired.com/story/waymo-...

Get in—We’re Chasing a Waymo Into the Future
Tailing a robotaxi for hours and hours is weird. And revelatory. And jealousy-inducing. But a driverless world is coming for all of us. So shut the door and buckle up.

I made a thing! I was playing around with the AT protocol and as a little experiment I made a website that visualises activity around Bluesky: nightsky.hctr.dev It listens to all new posts and shows them as little stars across a night sky 🌃 Every star is someone, somewhere, posting something
nightsky.hctr.dev
Nightsky | hctr.dev
See live conversations from all over Bluesky as a dynamic night sky
