White House Orders NASA to Destroy Important Satellite The White House has instructed NASA employees to destroy two major, climate change-focused satellite missions.

This is illegal. Funding for this specific mission has already been appropriated.

Israel’s Genocidal Intentions Have Been Obvious This Whole Time It was obvious in October 2023 that Israel intended to eliminate all Palestinians in Gaza, in part because you would never treat a population that way if you intended to leave survivors on your bor…

I have pretty much stopped all donations to any Democratic central or fundraising orgs. I now donate to individual candidates, so I can vet them personally. But... I am willing to donate to all the Texas Dems, who are not only fighting for all of us, but are going to incur personal expenses.

Liberal Israelis are slowly beginning to join the rest of the world in admitting that what’s happening in Gaza is a genocide — a fact that has been clear to anyone with eyes and a basic sense of morality from the very beginning of this nightmare.

Welp

e.g. @goat.navy is going to ATProto pill some more people at EDCON. @gdey.me is speaking at GopherCon.

Sorry for got about 🇯🇴 and 🇸🇦

Dems keep saying it's Bib who is doing the genocide, the truth is it's always been 🇮🇱's policy to take all the land, weather by forcing the Palestinian's and the their neighbors (🇱🇧🇮🇷🇪🇬🇸🇾) out of their land, or by killing them — a greater Israel. Just like 1940's Germany — for a greater Germany.

Wall Street Journal headline and deck: "New York Shooting Puts Mamdani on the Spot Over Policing Views: The killing of four people in a Midtown office building rattled a city where mass attacks are rare and violent crime has declined."

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

Israeli forces are continuing deadly attacks on Palestinians, with at least 21 people killed since dawn, 13 of them while seeking aid.

BREAKING: In a First, Majority of Democratic Senators Vote to Stop Arming Israel 26 Democrats joined Bernie Sanders in his effort to end certain weapons' sales to Israel - but were blocked by 70 pro-war senators, including every Republican present. Here's how the vote went.

YouTube video by AT Protocol Development, Tech Talks, and Events Tech Talk: Smoke Signal Turns One

Thanks to everyone who joined us for Nick's @smokesignal.events turns one Tech Talk.

This was our first time using Smoke Signal RSVPs and manual emailing, but we did get most folks onto the video call.

Here's the recording from the call.

Mobile screenshot of smoke signal listing https://smokesignal.events/did:plc:lehcqqkwzcwvjvw66uthu5oq (1) as an event organizer, how do I want to display this listing so that attendees will RSVP to it As an event RSVP’er what do I want from this page? (focus on simple RSVP only use case right now - ticket sales a bit more complicated) Already have a header image photo planned. Mobile view vs big beautiful desktop view both needs work.

Screenshot of the @atprotocol.dev profile page https://smokesignal.events/did:plc:lehcqqkwzcwvjvw66uthu5oq - with the events tab selected. These are events created by the current profile. (2) as an event organizer I want to display curated events on my page. I want to make it easy for people to subscribe to be notified of all my events and drive them to RSVP. I may want to choose a more compact view to show more of them, or a photo grid view, or by month. The events tab should probably be the default. Some changes needed to curate events not just the ones created by the account.

The “activity tab” is not a useful home page, we know ;)

Working on (1) event pages / event creation pages and (2) account event listings would be most useful.

See alt text for some notes.

We’re discussing piecemeal changes in the forum discourse.smokesignal.events

If you want to get involved with @smokesignal.events there’s lots of work to do

- design design design and lots of UX
- run a local instance
- include the Lexicon into your bsky client
- extend and integrate - eg tie it into Ghost email sending or make a Wordpress plugin

And organizer usage!
