Can we get him prescribed as a domestic terrorist and his supporters arrested? Like legitimate question?

i feel like measuring value by market cap is the central delusion of so much off-key billionaire chat… delusion by people invested and misleading to use it as a marker of value/value creation

also the follow up book review on the sequel, which I’ve never read really but rllly enjoyed, rang so hard of JK Rowling… It seems like legitimate criticism turns spineless people with massive platforms into bigots?

Some essential listening I found that got me up to speed and placed this guy nicely in a saga of shitheads Everything Historically Wrong with TBITSP - about the guy youtu.be/ki5FgpSR5qQ?... What’s wrong with JK Rowling - his context open.spotify.com/episode/1ahD...

This makes me sad I was just reminiscing the other day about watching Michael Flatley on YouTube when a video took 5 mins to load and you couldn’t even see their feet positions because of the quality

why is it a bribe and not extortion going the other way? I get that it’s because it’s about a business deal which isn’t life or death, but if Trump is slowing/preventing the deal it because he doesn’t like the 60 minutes… where does it cross the line?

This feels lazy, the direct transfer of 285 from labour to reform is too symmetrical, as with the conservative drop and distribution among the others

This is incredibly not the case, there are so many people I would like to see here that I don’t. Bluesky hasn’t made it into so many cultural ecosystems.

Obvious reason is network effects. If your people aren’t here why come.

a question as I try to make sense of this - they have basically made it so despite not affiliating with Palestine Action, you can be arrested for supporting Palestine? also because it’s coming from the gov is there actually anything that can be done re right to freedom of speech?

A. @walkingthrough.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

because they make the rules?

My question is, how are these platforms not responsible for the information they share - they are not search engines or social platforms - as grok demonstrated, the outputs can 100% be controlled by their creators… if people and publishers can be held accountable for lies, so too should AI companies

The price difference between the UK and Germany is higher than majority of countries total cost. (apparently markup on iPhone has a ruler, and I love a bar graph)

What the clients and execs forget (don’t know) is how much they need to spend on human input to make anything good… even if we are ignoring the part about taste, emotion and contextual understanding… thinking economically, humans might as well make it 🙃

Can confirm as someone who works in this within a UK agency it’s DE&I… it’s just depends who you ask

I just think there needs to be a new kind of discovery mechanism - an algorithm isn’t the answer, but atm lists aren’t intuitive… 1. How do people not plugged in to journalists find Bluesky? 2. How do people find their people? then we need to accept that algorithms don’t(shouldn’t) define reality

i have similar taste, the @garbageday.email episode ‘the effects of true crime brain rot’ with Jenn Swann was great, and then sent me on a binge of her series My Friend Daisy - would recommend both

Quite possibly the biggest climate story of the year (especially when we look back on this in a few years' time) For the first time on record, China's emissions are falling due to clean energy growth, not slow power demand...

It's been my working assumption for a while that most of the angry white male young Tories on twitter and knocking around Tufton Street are some degree of Bell Curvers (i.e. massive race science bigots)

I hate Spotify podcast comments. Podcasts were one realm where you didn’t have to worry about unsolicited opinions. It’s like if they turned on Netflix comments.

This stayed with me, and I feel like it’s the difference between observers and people on the ground… would recommend a listen to the most recent episode of 16th Minute about the fires with Jamie Loftus @jamieloftus.bsky.social
