Hi Bluesky! Glad to be here.

whether it's bluesky or twitter the point remains that the internet informs our societies and culture

once again I'm hearing a majority of people saying they have to leave social media and stop reading the news. IMO that's like a child covering their head with a pillow so the scary thing can't get them. Please care for your mental health, but you also must stay informed and engaged

people always say "it's not that serious" "twitter isn't real life" but it's because they don't understand human society or psychology. it's a cliche but twitter really *is* the town square. popular culture is deeply informed by what happens on the internet and people carry that into our daily lives

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Costco to raise hourly pay for most US store workers to over $30 Retailer Costco Wholesale will increase pay for most of its hourly U.S. store workers to more than $30, according to a memo sent to employees this week.

Costco - the only company to publicly come out in support of Diversity initiatives despite pressure from the GOP and they just raised the pay for their workers. Stop shopping at Target.

"We can not be mesmerized by the worst things that we see happening... We need to move very quickly through the shock and condemnation into identifying what exactly has to be done..."

If you're more upset with Biden being forced to consider the extraordinary step of peremptorily pardoning his own officials then you are about Trump appointing someone who’s promised to use the federal govt to exact personal retribution for Trump, then you need to think a little more critically.

Pete Buttigieg just released this video about America's supply chains

Did you know? Black Friday is named in honor of Rebecca Black, who invented Friday in 2011.

These people are 1) incapable of productive introspection, and 2) incapable of respecting independent media and journalism

I saw several people say this today when I peeked back in

Perhaps the people complaining about liberal echo chambers should take a look at the top 20 responses to every single tweet on Twitter and let us know what an echo chamber looks like.

Twitter’s heir apparent isn’t X or Threads — it’s Bluesky The blue bird is dead. Long live the blue sky.

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.

we need to be more generous with liking and sharing skeets if we want this platform to succeed and for people to choose it over X

They get paid for “engagement” over there so they are disincentivized to leave 🫤
