Tom Brady is weighing the sale of his mansion on Florida’s Indian Creek island, the exclusive enclave known as “Billionaire Bunker” where property values have soared since Jeff Bezos’ arrival
Happy New Year everyone.
And where reputable journalists and thinkers go, so do elected officials. I’ve been getting asked lately about a more serious + systemic migration to Bluesky among electeds. Idk the answer but it highlights how much of a breaking point misinfo & throttling has become for Twitter(& other platforms)
‘Wicked’ officially becomes the highest-grossing musical adaptation of all time at the domestic box office, surpassing ‘Grease.’
Okay looks good. I hope he's able to implement his philosophies quickly.
Let’s be real: This is a subsidy. The people who hate public spending have invented a massive government subsidy for a technology that has still yet to find a broad-based practical application 15 years after its debut
Australia just imposed a sweeping ban on social media for children under 16. How the restriction will be enforced online remains an open question.

Really hope Amorim knows what he's doing. Because if he's wank. That's all from me for Manchester United.
Let's see what ammorin has for us. Amad as RWB. I'm not giving at all.
Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.
This is entirely true. A lot of the high value posters have moved here, people who intelligently discuss important topics, report on news that major media outlets are often so slow on, and whats more... the trolls, hate comments, and slurs are a tiny fraction of what they are on Elon's twitter.
The thing that keeps getting me about all the pieces fretting about Bluesky being too insular is that the argument seems to be that those of us who are most likely to be abused by the right (BIPOC people, trans people, queer people, etc) must put up with being abused for the sake of public discourse
I suspect that some annoyed pundits are insistent in claiming Bluesky is a progressive bubble not because, as they believe, it’s hyper-partisan, but because for them, subconsciously, the remarkably civil tone of the platform feels coded as progressive. And that says quite a lot about their outlook.
Right 🤣
The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.
Excellent
actually the most democratic thing is to follow no one at all, and pay equal attention to all 21M people on this site. I just quit my day job to dedicate myself to reading every bluesky post
Fascinating
A lot of my academic work lately has been around how traditional narratives don't suit stories about illness. Especially chronic illness which doesn't follow a incident-quest-resolution arc. 1/5
A key task for product managers is crafting the team’s narrative: • What problem are you solving? • Why does it matter? • How will you solve it? • How will you measure success? • What’s the timeline and key milestones? This aligns the team, partners, and leadership—a core part of landing a strategy
Will not subject myself to any expectations. Onus is on him.
A surprising twist this election is VCs and tech CEOs backing an anti-immigrant candidate, despite over half of Silicon Valley’s STEM workforce being foreign-born. Between this shift and the constant waves of layoffs, tech companies have abandoned their “workers are our greatest asset” mantra.

Loved the book
Buying a book and actually reading it are two very different hobbies.
I’m genuinely curious about why it took the election results for millions of people to leave X? Did the content or moderation policies suddenly become worse or did people suddenly realize they were on Truth Social 2.0? If you left X this month, can you share why?
I couldn't manage anymore. I was always agitated and angry. Misinformation was rife. That wasn't the place for me. So I left.
A Thread 🧵 United’s first training session under Amorim, player positions: RCB- Yoro RWB - Antony CM- Casemiro (slightly staggered 6s) CM - Mainoo LWB - Malacia RAM - Amad LAM - Mount CF - Rashford Amorim looking at his watch, asking for the move to be sped up.

Ten-minute hattrick for Gabriele Biancheri for Cymru U19s today - takes him to seven goals for the season at that level in as many games. Add that to his U18/19/21 goals for #MUFC and that’s 24 in 23 by mid-November - pretty handy.

Hii

Big win for polio today.
Ha ha
I'll spend the next few days lamenting leaving X because of the community I had. But much better here for my mental health. Not because of some politics.
Welcome

Exiting X and looking to hopeful blue skies. Hello, world!
Hello! Another new Beginning.
i would happily pay a few dollars a month to keep this place viable.
Hopefully the people who run this platform fully understand the many reasons why a mass exodus of people has fled toxic X, and will do their best to ensure this place never becomes anything like that.
Still getting used to the fact that there are no ads here. Amazing. Also, glad to see the community seems to be exploding and is super active.
