He is a class act and spot on.

I've given up snacks of any kind for Lent. It's day/night 1 and even the fruit bowl is catching my eye.

“Brendan, who did you beat today?”

Will be on a podcast with Russell Brand by the end of next week.

I’m all in man thank you!

This is what social media is all about. I’ve never heard of @hankgreen.bsky.social before, clicked the link, loved the video so I followed the man. Down with algorithms manipulation!

Maybe I’m gonna get whacked

The ice cream van still coming round the estate as December approaches is top level dedication to the craft.

If you could bring any 2 actors back from the dead who would it be?
My picks - John Candy and James Gandolfini

Maeda just got up and tracked back instead of celebrating. The man is the 🐐 #Celtic #GreenSky

Mon Celtic smash them

They can copy everything but they won’t be @bsky.app

Traffic from Bluesky's @bsky.app to @theguardian.com is already 2x that of Threads

In its first week on the platform & with 300k followers, Bluesky traffic from @theguardian.com posts is already higher than it was from TwX in any week in 2024, where the account had 10.8m followers, but🧵

Surely word will spread and more organisations will migrate to @bsky.app to not only increase their engagement but to protect their reputation from being associated with X. Getting as many new sources and 'big names' here as possible is key to keeping users coming here first

Social media is in desperate need of innovation. Meta is only letting you have a slice of control over what you see because Bluesky is here building for you.

😂 sadly my programming isn’t quite that good.

You enjoying Bluesky man? I’ve been here for a while, big fan

Is there an open protocol alternative to Instagram, like Bluesky is to Twitter? If the appetite to take back control of social media from big companies continues, you’d imagine a classic style Instagram will be next.

This is the best way to get others, esp journalists/politicians to join. It’s not necessarily ideological, it’s practical: a far better social media experience/way more useful for work.

(For context: Instagram prohibits links in post text. This, plus the incentive to inflate comments, has led to the proliferation of tools where creators instruct their followers to comment with a specific word to receive a link in their DMs— in this case, to a pie crust recipe)

A post Bry-dog. You got it right first time. Welcome to GreenSky

A social network not having administrative responsibility for account verification has upsides - Jon Worth Euroblog One of the interesting aspects of all the “officialising” the Ursula von der Leyen Bluesky account stuff is how it has created a discussion about verification of identity on social networks and – alth...

I have come to the conclusion - despite all the mess the past couple of days - that a social network having no administrative responsibility for account verification is actually a good thing

I did it! I wrote up my Posting Middle Classes Theory, and tried to explain why I think Threads failed where Bluesky succeeded: youngvulgarian.substack.com/p/down-in-th... (free to read)

It's nice to receive a new follower and look at their profile to find a real person there who has actually made some posts :)

Why the Guardian is no longer posting on X We will stop posting from our official editorial accounts on the platform, but X users can still share our articles

The Guardian will no longer post its content to X

Grim dystopian landscape. Trump drives a wagon containing a caged elephant towards the seat of government

Powerful cover from The Atlantic.

Man, fuck Lex Fridman. His new interview with Trump is garbage.

Fridman's inoffensive milquetoast schtick is arguably way more damaging than podcasts from hardcore Trump fans. Apolitical people listen to Fridman and will just hear his normalization of fascist bullshit.

Without any knowledge of German politics I found this to be a brilliant listen. Podcasting at its best.
