I wrote about the rise and future of the #BuildInPublic movement, and the role that the social construct of "authenticity" plays. - for Meridian blog and magazine mercury.com/blog/buildin...

The pros and cons of building in public
Choosing to “build in public” can indicate transparency and authenticity to potential customers. For founders deciding whether or not it’s worth doing, the signals are less clear.

I'm old enough to remember when Biden gave a prime time speech on the rise of extremism and collapse of democracy, but major networks flat-out refused to air it. Today, a couple are airing an ambiguous Trump speech presumably sharing election conspiracies. www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...

As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
Broadcasters NBC, CBS and ABC usually air presidential prime-time addresses live. But they found Biden's Philadelphia speech more "political" than newsworthy.

Also, the CBS-affiliated contractor is right. BB Bsky is "insular," but that's bc Bsky, in general is increasingly insular, pushing many back to where it's less one big recurring inside joke and a wider array of characters. That wasn't as much a dig at BBBsky as it was at Bsky in general. #bb28

Not surprised BB has reignited its X (or the comments by its employees). CBS/Paramount is in a new era ATM. We've yet to see how much this era will completely affect BB. I'm still nervous about the cast reveal, given the quota changes, esp since I don't follow survivor. #BB28

I don't think I believe the current big #BB28 rumor because CBS has pretty much locked that season in a vault and have thrown away the key. I don't think they want people going back to watch it.... but who knows.

I think it took me two trips on that airline before realizing that and I've always avoided them after. Maybe it changed....

Vince Dixon @vincedixon.bsky.social · 02/05/2026
Was #Spirit ever really an "affordable" airline? The tickets were "cheap," but there were a ton of low-key upcharges for basic things when added up made the final price similar to other airlines. Unless you were traveling with NO bags and remembered to check in super early, it was no huge deal.

Um...well...this is why I essentially stopped watching them....after it became apparent that these were more idolizing odes put out by people too close to the story, rather than genuine bios. It's also probably different for people who aren't coming into the movie as diehard fans of the eras.

The questions at the post-dinner press conference are all rooted in the assumption that this was a politically motivated assassination attempt, after the president and officials have already told the room they are still investigating the suspect and their motives. #WHCA

Vince Dixon @vincedixon.bsky.social · 26/04/2026
A lot of people, including journalists, have assumed this was an assassination attempt targeting the president, but other than the fact that the president was in attendance, there doesn't seem to be any confirmation of that. Journalists need to be mindful of that.

A billl making its way through Congress aims to put restrictions on "large institutional landlords" buying up apartments, but data shows such landlords are actually rare-more of a local issue than a national one. And there's a chance the homes they give up will just go to smaller investors, not you.
