Welcome to bluesky! And bring your friends! Fuck. Elon. Musk.

@kenwhite.bsky.social by far

Hello and welcome 🙏

Mad respect to the hour here and there that is nearly solid sports, pets, or flowers. Fresh air is important.

Mark Cuban's starter pack is, um, a good starting point.

Reid, welcome to Bluesky. Musk’s X-twit had become a toxic cesspool of Russian Bots and Grok trolls.

That and it stops responding & crashes ALL THE TIME!

@hcrichardson.bsky.social She’s awesome.

They’ve pulled the sunken Army vehicle from the bog: www.upi.com/Top_News/US/...

Welcome, and thanks for asking! I'm getting some great recommendations from reading the responses.

@reidhoffman.bsky.social meet @darthbluesky.bsky.social .

Not sure, but I'm happy to follow you!

In return, can I ask you to invite certain people over here? * Scientists in general. Very very few here. * Legal scholars e.g big law * Economists. There are some, not enough. * Military affairs strategists. Where are they? * Geopolitical analysis. Where are they? * Sociology & social psychology.

Great suggestions!!

Thanks these folks are getting us through it 👏🏽

try a starter pack! but be careful, and definitely look at the names in it. sometimes they slip in some REALLY bad eggs.

I appreciate the elon face punch with your words..

Hi 👋🏼 happy you are here! @mcuban.bsky.social you and @reidhoffman.bsky.social should meet!

Me!

Honestly all the good ones who left twitter are here! Mark Hamill and Mark Cuban are alway fantastic.

Love both @mcuban.bsky.social and @markhamillofficial.bsky.social

+1, also @georgetakei.bsky.social!

My default/following timeline is packed wall to wall with fantastic journalists.

@jeffreygoldberg.bsky.social @johncarreyrou.bsky.social amongst many, many, others.

Our Canadian PM, @mark-carney.bsky.social, is using it well. @moskov.goodventures.org is here. @bloomberg.com treats it as a first-class platform.

@scott.hanselman.com and @markrussinovich.bsky.social amongst many @microsoft.com folks.

A wealth of health folks -- e.g. @erictopol.bsky.social 🇺🇸 @dfisman.bsky.social 🇨🇦, and there are lists and starter packs for many more.

🙃 turns out the account wasn't real. bsky.app/profile/pfra...

👋🏼

Hi Reid - sent you an email yesterday!

Perhaps you could suggest he join Bluesky? :) bsky.app/profile/pfra...

Me!

You should explore and discover. On most social content platforms, including linkedin, I look for ML and tech content. When I joined Bluesky I sought out similar content. However the differentiated content I found here was on different lines.

Well, follow me if you want solid universal basic income content.

Follow me for fluid content and if you want to invest in pre seed path-integral.com

@jennycohn.bsky.social connected dots for many years on NAZI MAGAT machinations to take power at any cost. I go further than her. I am a Soldier-Scholar whose parents’ discussions of The Great Depression & WWII inspired me to study Hitler from 7th Grade & Trump from Age 20.

I am a retired Military Pilot War Planner, who served in every Theater of War. I foresaw Trump’s rise & Pvtin connections. Trvmp, a convicted rapist & felon, was just the tool

of very powerful men pulling the strings. Pvtin groomed him as the Money Launderer for his Transnational Crime Syndicate. Real Estate is the vehicle to launder money made by dealing armaments & drugs.

All in admin are the useful idiots of the intersection of The Federalist Society & Heritage Foundations’ effort over 50 years with unlimited wealth of Koch Bros & other billionaires. Thus money & SCOTUS rulings creating PACs with unlimited donations. This all fueled the rise of NAZI MAGATS.

Enlisting religious leaders, millionaires, & ministers to create a god-like aura for Trvmp, the most degenerate man ever to lead our country. The roots are deep - religious orgs keeping zealots in places to pull levers of power. Mvrdoch’s Fox “News” delivered highly curated stories from

Pvtin’s KGB/FSB. To twist News & brainwash the 5-10% small core of MAGA Americans, who are angry & mad & have disowned their children over this Fox attack dogs getting speaking points.

youtu.be/qgqr5yIs75M?... Peter Thiel, who has created & financed Tech Bros & lives to fulfill his Guru’s goals of City-States. Tech Bros divide up USA into their personal Kingdoms. I suggest reading Atlantic Mag. articles. Thiel & Musk have struggled to keep stories straight

& try to be seen as opponents. But, Thiel runs Mvsk in all of his endeavors. Thiel created Vance & demanded Trvmp make him VP. Thiel’s Palantir software, installed Trvmp first term in DOD & CIA, is now in every govt agency touched by DOGE. Goal is not efficiency but all data on every American.

With the push of a button, Thiel can empty every bank account of Social Security (our money) & Treasury recipients. Gold is the only physical object to transport & sell to his Saudi Financiers. Learn about him. He is the most dangerous man in the world. He elected Trvmp twice.

Hillary & Kamala won, but for algorithms inserted in tabulators. Enslaving USA & putting us under 24x7 surveillance is the total control he wants. Zvckerberg FB IG - Mvsk Twitter amplified Trump - hid Dems Hillary & Kamala achievements. The USA is ready for female Pres - pundits missed the mark!

Me! Soldier-Scholar. I know how we got here & I know what is to come if we do not act now

What’s that mean Reid? Like telling people how great your new book is? Which it is BTW.

Solid recommendations, @theshaft.co.

Woohoo welcome to the mothership

Hey, I know what you are doing now. Thanks here in Missouri our 2 protests Saturday were because of you. Thanks

My second favorite thing, might make you throw up in your mouth a little www.facebook.com/share/r/1Fa2...

My favorite things to post #1 www.facebook.com/share/r/15zd...

What is solid content? That is what they do here in Missouri. They worded the abortion vote and we said YES we want access. Now they say it was worded so terribly that no one knew what they were voting on and are gonna run it again but while we wait for that.

Hey so proud of you. When you can get a name drop by the tied for 1st place most HATED man in America, that is worth a follow. Congratulations. YOU are a great man in this moment. Not sure what your doing yet but keep up the good work. Love to my fellow American.

Me me me!

Welcome!! So glad to have you!!

bsky.app/profile/did:...

Did an interesting technologist starter pack: go.bsky.app/MJmwWy4

Followed. Thanks

Ron Filipkowski, Rachel Maddow, Mark Elias are great follows

Oh yes! All great ones.

If you go to my profile and scroll over there are some other starter packs you might find interesting or useful. For example there’s a journalism one here: go.bsky.app/Kcc3A8S

And a politics and public policy one here: go.bsky.app/Q2MaFUm

Hey @tomcoates.bsky.social - can you check out Nick Tsergas @nicktsergas.ca and add him to your journalism list if he fits? He's got major starter packs of Canadian journos etc. and runs @canadahealthwatch.bsky.social

@reidhoffman.bsky.social Welcome sir, and thanks for using your voice These tyrannical lunatics have left us no choice We must be loud and defiant, we need to resist If we all stand united and strong, we will persist I’m trying to keep records for the file If you want to see, check my profile

Welcome! Thanks for standing up for America!

Definitely add @hcrichardson.bsky.social

MeidasTouch

Brian Taylor Cohen, Glenn Kirschner, Democracy Docket, Democracy Now offer great facts, lawsuit updates. Gary's economics, Robert Reich on YouTube offers details for basic understanding of how economics are manipulated, affect every single person and solutions for the financial inequality.

Definitely not me. I'm guilty of the sin of empathy.

There are many, and more and more emerge every single day as the platform grows. I see this platform as the core organizing and unifying force of the revolution. You'll find many incredible voices here. Good luck developing your network and algorithm. It really is a great platform. ❤️

Waiting on a bit of wisdom from you. It's been very tiring and depressing last couple months. About business, economy, philosophy, anything

You're so sweet - thank you 💜

@marcelias.bsky.social !

Should look at @sprk.so Reid!

You can follow me! I make memes that mock Elon, Trump, JD Vance, Hegseth, Kristi Noem, Putin, Dmitry Medvedev, and other asshats!

@coloradotravis.bsky.social

@deirdreassenza.bsky.social

Aww! 🥹

I followed early “starter packs” of scientists, journalists, regen agricult farmers, indigenous leaders, medical/health & tech professionals, climate scientists & activists … @support.bsky.team can help you find? Follow those who post info & wisdom YOU value. Then (after checking) those THEY follow

Me. Obviously 🫠😅

search 'starter pack'

Great to finally have you here! Some of my favorites are @jdcmedlock.bsky.social @jamellebouie.net @maxdubler.com just to name a few. But frankly so many people are here now that you can find anything

Oh wow I am in illustrious company!

I mean you literally invented a meme so you're like basically Socrates

Which meme?

This is Contra Points? I remember seeing that video a while back. I thought it was a general comment on left wing, critical intellectual discourse. Is she referencing Max Dubler?

No, but Max is credited as the first person to use the screenshot as a meme: knowyourmeme.com/memes/they-d...

I see, thank you! Also where did Reid Hoffman go? Maybe it was not even him in the first place?

I don't know, I was wondering the same thing. But I do think it was him- that account had existed for a while before he ever posted

Oh that’s good, I hope he will be back then. Maybe he just got mass reported and auto-suspended or something.

I only post solid content on LinkedIn

you could just import your twitter following using bsky.app/profile/jeff...

Happy to see you here!

I have an appropriate amount of follower vs. the quality of my posts.

Welcome, @reidhoffman.bsky.social! Great to see you here

And another - by the way found the video on LinkedIn. Cheers bsky.app/profile/real...

Thom Hartmann. (@hartmannreport) Prolific author, polymath, hosts progressive talk show on FreeSpeechTV and presents info more comprehensively than most media. I’d also suggest me, but I’m just a cool, old techie with a deep knowledge of unusual cookery😁

So happy your here finally

Check out the starter packs👍

@nicktsergas.ca Canadian health journalist, has good starter packs for other CA journalists. Smart women writing law/politics: Joanne Freeman @jbf1755.bsky.social Barb McQuade @barbmcquade.bsky.social Joyce Vance @joycewhitevance.bsky.social A nice break: @affirmationcoyote.bsky.social

Bingo! Except for you and the coyote 😊 #followed

Glad it helped! The coyote account really is a nice palate cleanser on occasion, but YMMV. :) Another fave feed simply posts pictures of manuls (you may know them as Pallas cats; they're not grumpy, just very serious!) @notdailymanul.bsky.social

I'm from the Southern Hemisphere...have never seen either animal in the wild

Marc Elias and Democracy Docket

Second that!

Welcome back. What happened? You disappeared for a bit.

NPR

you're going to get some spicy takes; stick it out, this place is worth it

Yay! Barack Obama, all the coolest bluest people, and today, Reid Hoffman!

World class reporting on links and short posts are available from all the usual suspects, but I hope you won't look only for "solid content". Browsing solid info plus the everyday responses to original posts, keeps me sane. A sense of truth vs lies, and right vs wrong really do exist among most.

@angrystaffer.bsky.social another great follow!

@altnps.bsky.social

Kara Swisher is good follow

Welcome to Blue sky! @proleftpodcast.bsky.social is a good podcast to follow. There are a lot of lists floating around that can get you started. It's really easy to navigate. Take it from a 72 yr old lady 😂😂

me, i'm hilarious

@minakimes.bsky.social

Yes.

bsky.app/profile/did:... If I don’t say so myself…

If I do***

You have plenty of starter packs curated by experts in their field. The question is: what part of the solid content you want to follow

Welcome to (less) bot activity & toxicity! I don’t think I see anyone recommend @markhamillofficial.bsky.social yet

Also @stephenking.bsky.social puts a great spin on all the face palming we are experiencing

So glad you’re here! One regular person I like a lot is @haldonahue.bsky.social

thank you

He’s a veteran and has an astute read on current events. Have been following him for ages on TikTok where he should be was more popular, glad he has many more followers here!

@reidhoffman.bsky.social I suggest looking for people who repost & comment, not just the big account who post & ghost. To start, find posts you agree w/ & follow all the people who comment & repost. Since BlueSky doesn’t feed us content, it works better if you connect w/ people who interact.
