I’ll be curious to see the answers, particularly to the Trump and Musk questions.

At a bar in Cedar Rapids and some guy is reading Elon Musks tweets to his date and I’ve never been more happy to be single in my life

I’m a part time librarian and I just want to echo what I’ve seen other librarians say recently: there is a HUGE uptick in requests for social justice, climate justice, abolition, history, etc books and I just want to say nobody is giving up the fight. If anything people are fighting harder #library

Has ‘Teflon Elon’ finally gone too far? Social media sentiment would suggest that he has.

A recent article of mine for @thestreetnews.bsky.social on how big tech companies are taking action to protect themselves from Donald Trump’s tariffs.

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

I greatly appreciate the coverage @talkingbiznews.bsky.social.

One month ago, I started my new position as Tech Markets Reporter for TheStreet. I am thrilled to be able to continue reporting on an industry that I love.

I'll be sharing my stories on here but please follow TheStreet at @thestreetnews.bsky.social if you like great business and tech news.

I keep trying to write something eloquent and just being tired.
History matters. Philosophy matters. Languages and literature matter. Indigenous studies matter. Arts and humanities and social sciences matter. All of them.

My thoughts exactly.

I haven’t watched a second of cable news since the election.

Highly recommend it 😮‍💨

Pretty sure that the person making a statement doesn’t get to decide if it is “controversial” or “extreme.” That’s up to the people reading it and many people see to think qualifies as both.

People are leaving Twitter because it’s not fun anymore and no one is obligated to be on a platform they don’t enjoy.

It’s not rocket science.

This is spot on.

There’s a reason this tweet from the bad place was so popular:

It’s true. 👍

“Loud” isn’t better or smarter than “thoughtful.”

It’s just louder.

Still waters run deep.

This is the way ✊

💙 I’m a good guy, I promise.

As a journalist, I greatly appreciate that. It’s great to have a digital community again, although I do love LinkedIn.

Well, when put it that way…

Didn't realize how much I missed what used to be Twitter until I joined Bluesky. If nothing else, it is an extremely smart concept and business model.

Bluesky, with a well curated follow list, has already replaced Twitter for me as the place to immediately see what's happening of relevance to me as a media producer in the independent media space
