Will you remember to vote?

Itโ€™s amazing to me that politicians donโ€™t commit to post first on @bsky.app and to engage with constituents here

THIS is more powerful than CNN , MSNBC, The Post will ever be.

You can broadcast for 9 mins on a declining medium, or engage here and start a real discussion.

Which is more powerful?

A graphic from Courier Newsroom with text reading, "The richest person on Earth will have an office inside the Trump White House, all while maintaining his ownership and direction of companies with billions of dollars in federal contracts." Below the text, Elon Musk sits on a chair between two flags, one American and the other representing a government seal, against a dark, smoky background.

Hello Bluesky - like many others we've now made the move from the other place and we're looking forwards to connecting with the #EntEd community here.

Back home after a great day discussing extracurricular entrepreneurship education. Learned so much, but what made me happiest was showing a respected colleague my curricular-based assessment remit and getting a fantastic reaction. #ILoveMyJob #EntEd

Vikesh calls for extracurricular learning to be fun to build relationships and encourage people to come back. Difficult to do within the curriculum with large cohorts, but I do want to make my as lectures engaging and interesting as possible as well as informative and thought provoking #ented

Can Trump Really Just Rewrite The Reality Of January 6? As Trump readies his J6 "day one" pardons, how can we ensure history tells the truth about that day?

Four years ago, Donald Trump declared the January 6 riots โ€œa heinous attack." By 2024, he was calling it โ€œa day of love.โ€ Now as Trump prepares to issue pardons to rioters on "day one," how can we undo Trump's rewriting of history? thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-janu...

But in its panicked retreat from the system it spent years building, Meta may now be putting billions of users at risk. Just because Meta deleted that line about hateful speech causing offline violence doesn't mean it isn't true. And now the company has all but declared open season on immigrants, transgender people and whatever other targets that Trump and his allies find useful in their fascist project.

"I can't tell you how much harm comes from non-illegal but harmful content," a longtime former trust and safety employee at the company told me. The classifiers that the company is now switching off meaningfully reduced the spread of hate movements on Meta's platforms, they said. "This is not the climate change debate, or pro-life vs. pro-choice. This is degrading, horrible content that leads to violence and that has the intent to harm other people."

I talked to 10 current and former Meta employees about the company's surrender to the right on speech issues. All were upset. One person called the changes "a precursor to genocide" www.platformer.news/meta-fact-ch...

Hi Kelly, Good to see that you are here on @bsky.app I tried to join it a few months ago, but found that recording my age on resigtration was infuriating, due to my age, and gave up. Now I could not use "nigeladams", so chose a different approach.
Am not keen on Twitter(X) anymore, so trying this.

Why are Bezos, Zuckerberg, Musk, Pichai and Tim Cook visiting and giving money to Trump ?

Because they are in โ€œThe Race โ€œ to become the dominant platform in the world.

Amazon/Anthropic vs FB/LLama vs Google/Gemini vs Twitter/Grok, vs IPhones/ChatGpt is the penultimate global power war ever.
