Bluesky CEO Jay Graber Is Stepping Down Venture capitalist Toni Schneider will take over as interim CEO as Bluesky’s board of directors hunts for a permanent replacement.

I wonder what’s next for bluesky www.wired.com/story/bluesk...

I’m glad Bluesky shipped drafts but it also reminds me how long it’s been since anything was shipped? I don’t think it will be politics alone that will drive growth here.

Everyone involved here is severely out of touch

This was just sent as a global breaking news alert 😂

But seemingly no one else in big tech gets punished for their capex. Look at what meta just announced.

This is unbelievable. I can’t say I understand it.

The problem is that credible threats to invade a NATO ally will reliably keep Epstein out of the news as long as it continues.

How Rubio blunted Senate momentum on Venezuela The secretary of state and Senate GOP leaders lobbied two Republican senators to defect from signing on to a war powers resolution.

Never thought I'd see a group of people try so hard to get into power only to give up that power on the most important decisions.. for what? Historic level pathetic. www.semafor.com/article/01/1...

It is entirely and completely likely and realistic that the military was just deployed to Venezuela in an effort acquire the nobel peace price.

An obituary for our times

This is total users right? Not anything related to monthly active users? If it’s an absolute number it’s very low and MAU growth would likely be even lower.

AMZN seems to be taking off after a bit of a Sabbatical

The more I watch the car shooting the more it’s absolutely bonkers insane anyone would defend that. MAGA has decided that they won’t admit this guy made a mistake as it would somehow invalidate all of ICE? Not willing to admit there was even a mistake here is some crazy crazy behavior

Are we going to move on from populist politics after this? Are enough people tired of it yet?

The new entrepreneurship thing is to call yourself a “builder” and then vibe code weird little software apps that make millions by letting you edit PDFs with AI or whatever and lock people into recurring payments you forget about.

I periodically wonder what Bluesky management is up to. When was the last time there was any major product updates? Seriously, like a year? Two years?

What’s the right-wing equivalent of him saying this?

Nice update

Halliburton rally like it’s 2003

News organizations held off on reporting Venezuela raid The American news organizations held their stories over concerns about endangering US troops.

I actually believe this could have changed the course of events. If the story was leaked, there are a number of reasons why i may not have happened. News orgs seem to think they exist outside reality and are never part of the story. www.semafor.com/article/01/0...

Maduro Ousted and Trump Says the US Will Run Venezuela | Expert Analysis from Elizabeth Dickinson of the International Crisis Group Podcast Episode · Global Dispatches -- World News That Matters · 01/03/2026 · 28m

Excellent level headed look at Venezuela so far from a regional expert. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/m...

It is quite possible the Rubio Miami Cuban coalition convinced Trump to do this- saying it would be good for his legacy etc. Because the oil thing is just not going to pan out - or at least not any time soon. Chevron is already there. Kicking out Maduro doesn’t magically make the oil flow.

I’ve been letting this admin bother me less these days but this is so fucking stupid.

It appears we are going to war with Venezuela. To me, this kind of thing is sort of a worst case scenario with this administration.

Erasing the Verdict: The Ongoing Shock of Trump’s Cocaine Kingpin Pardon Donald Trump’s pardon of Juan Orlando Hernández, the former president of Honduras, toppled the capstone of one of the most ambitious narcotics investigations in the history of the Department of Justic...

Incredible journalism on the story leading up to Trump pardoning Honduras’ former drug trafficking president. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

Makes sense. What are your thoughts on gold? It seems there are still drivers , like CB buying, to keep it going- unlike other metals.

Even if it was an aqua-hire he could have gotten paid via the licensing agreement- as not to burn the investors

Sadly sold my silver a few months ago. What can I learn from this? I actually have no conviction in silver.

For real? I didn’t quite get that. I thought it was a home run for him.

Every time I’m in Europe I think about how bizarre it is that 1) the US just simply can’t do trains for basically inexplicable reasons. Even with conventional explanations, it seems totally insane 2) The US can’t do paid public toilets and Europe can? The US is the most capitalist country on earth?
