Wow! A beautiful image on the 1 year anniversary of the JWST.

Welcome Antonietta!

Welcome! Good to have you here. 🙌

It’s only been two days, but it seems clear to me that Bluesky missed its moment to be the Twitter replacement.

It feels like Threads is going to eat Twitter’s lunch, and Bluesky will be a cute niche site. Hope I’m wrong, but feels inevitable already.

Older generations have an advantage in the AI boom: people skills and experience that can't be autom... An Oxford economist argues that experienced workers who can "make their presence felt in a room" will thrive at work in the age of AI.

Boeuf cuit, Pressé de boeuf, or corn’d-beef Not spam

Just a fun little post on my Substack today while I develop & test recipes.

Enjoy! And if you think food history is as fun as I do, please subscribe!

Nice! Knowing the history of your favorite foods just adds another layer of enjoyment. I love corned beef but only have it once a year at the in-laws for our annual corned beef and potato feast. Going to share this tidbit at the next gathering.

I'll repeat a tip I used to find people when I got here: find one person you know (usually the person who invited you) and go through their following list because there are probably mutuals there. Repeat with those mutuals. Soon you'll have a nice timeline of familiar folks. But find new folks too!

Gm Bluesky! Yep, I’m that guy that shares his kid’s art. Definitely didn’t get talent from our side of the family.

The photorealistic images from Midjourney are great and all but I enjoy the drawings too.

Beautiful shot
