Okay so I've built a new Atlas, this time it lets you explore the conversations on Bluesky over the past 7 days graphically. It should update every ~6 hours and help you navigate the information environment that exists on here. I've learned a LOT about what people do here today... atlas.jazco.dev

None of us can top E.B. White on this argument

“Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last--the city of final destination, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New York's high-strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion.”

-E.B. White, "Here is New York"

to me the question at the heart of AI and data center discourse is: how and how much should society be computerized? we’ve spent 75 years bringing computation into every activity and institution. it has always made people nervous, but we’re now at 4-5% of US electricity going to computation

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

Incredible chart from @propublica.org. If you don’t follow enviro stuff closely, your instinct might be that the hold-your-nose solution (carbon capture from fossil fuels) would be the “pragmatic” one versus covering Earth in solar panels, which seems utopian. In fact it’s the opposite

As a survivor of Stage 3 colon cancer (7 years cancer-free) discovered when my colon ruptured at age 49, months before I was planning my first colonoscopy, I heartily endorse this thread. Insurance will cover a colonoscopy at 45 (younger for those at elevated risk). They suck, but save lives.

Happy JACKIE ROBINSON DAY! On April 15, 1947, Jackie Robinson debuted with the Brooklyn Dodgers, marking the end of MLB segregation. But if the NFL hadn't also been segregated, we would likely be celebrating someone else today. That's because Jackie Robinson would have been in the NFL.
