My empathy goes to @buffalo-bills.bsky.social fans. Tough one

Yep

Cook, Musk, Pichai, Bezos, Zuckerberg all onstage at inauguration.

Just deleted Threads account, and cutting back on Facebook use significantly. Had enough of the tech oligarchs and their greedy ways.

NYT: “Pam Bondi cast herself as an independent prosecutor who would keep politics out of the Justice Department”

WaPo: “She walked a very fine line on election denial and Trump prosecuting his enemies.”

Democracy Docket: “Bondi refused to say who won the 2020 election.”

Bezos and Zuckerberg's million dollar payments to Trump, Joe & Mika going down to MAL to kiss the ring, CNN making Trump appendage Scott Jennings the face of its coverage, and now ABC handing Trump $15 million for a hugely winnable defamation case. Is all of legacy media going to kowtow to Trump?

A rising slough.

Jensen Huang, the chief executive of Nvidia, is the 10th-richest person in the United States, worth $127 billion.

The beatdown is on. @buffalo-bills.bsky.social @sanfrancisco49ers.bsky.social

Zuckerberg Seems Genuinely Alarmed by the Explosive Growth of Bluesky Bluesky has apparently become such a successful X-formerly-Twitter alternative, even Mark Zuckerberg is anxiously taking notice.

Zuck's problem is that so many of the things BS doesn't do like advertising ad harvesting user data for sale are, to him, the whole point of HAVING a social media service.

The wheels have fallen off. @sanfrancisco49ers.bsky.social

Some work-related news: 16-plus years after my last book (on cybersecurity), I just signed a deal with a publisher for another -- this time on AI, agents, and the workplace. Currently crafting an outline and starting to compile research. The preliminary publication date is for Spring 2025.

Hard to find a silver lining in @sanfrancisco49ers.bsky.social latest loss. Rough season.

Fleeing X for a beautiful blue sky.
