No matter what DeepSeek cost, the important part is, they could afford to give it away.

pizza for breakfast is totally ok i hope this helps

lmao no, TikTok users are not moving to Bluesky. They would literally rather learn Mandarin than learn how to read a feed of text posts. This is a millennial retirement home.

A three story building with two modest windows on each floor looks tiny on a Vancouver street next to supertalls and a corporate office building.

This is a zoom into the front entrance of the small building in the previous photo. Over the door are metal letters in all caps, rusted enough to appear decades old. They read: UNLIMITED GROWTH INCREASES THE DIVIDE.

On a cloudy Vancouver street, close to Chinatown, a small historic building tells the truth about us.

Schiff: "I've been in Congress a long time approving aid after disasters. I never once even considered 'is this hurricane hitting a red or blue state?' ... we need the incoming president to view it that way."

why 100% complete one task when you can 64% complete many tasks

Doctor: How are you?
Me: I'm good.
Doctor: What brings you here today?
Me: I'm doing bad.

Exactly

Billionaires give me acid reflux. So I’m making little changes.

Duck Duck Go > Google Chrome

Bluesky > Threads > X 🤮

Substack > Medium

Text people happy birthday > Facebook 🤮

I just wish we had an alternative to Youtube. And I looked!

I have to get out of this distorted internet monopoly.

The more I learn about how much effort teachers put in on a daily basis, the more furious I become with how little they're paid!!!

The older I get, the more likely it is that I will quit a bad series or movie mid-scene.

Life’s too short to waste watching terrible tv.

This morning I’m specifically sorry to you if cilantro don’t taste like cilantro when you eat cilantro. So sorry

the people many of us left twitter to get away from seem oddly baffled by a lot of folks not wanting them here

Not to brag, but I can eat two-bite brownies in one bite.

sorry to the nerds with weird DNA; cilantro tastes good as hell

Opened Twitter.

"The Left cheer on UnitedHealthcare CEO killing because he was a white man. If it were a black woman things would be different."

Closed Twitter.

Between the earthquake/tsuanmi scare, the UnitedHealthcare shooting and the South Korea martial law stuff this week, it feels like Bluesky is getting more and more critical mass around breaking events that made Twitter so sticky and useful.

bots are becoming a bigger thing on this platform now. not as bad as twitter, but it’s a shame that no matter what, we’re forced into experiencing the internet technological rot that infests online spaces now

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight.

The class wars.

We need bookmarks, people are starting to post too many useful things QwQ

I would love to have a bookmark/save option for posts on this app, some of y'all have some great takes and senses of humor!

Leaving Twitter is like leaving an abusive relationship.

Heard a Fox News reporter describe the proposed tariffs on Canadian imports as being paid 100% by companies there.

Kids: Study economics.

The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

everybody’s “under the weather”bro, it comes down from the sky

Bluesky has done a remarkable job of dealing with the post election explosion of new users, but if it wants to take the next step as a trusted platform, a reliable verification system is absolutely necessary.

the moment the temperature dips below zero my animal brain starts urging me to eat all the food in the house, gain a warm layer of fat, hibernate, etc

4 panel comic featuring a red guy and a pink guy (red guy is the right winger) Panel 1: Red guy: FINE. Leave Twitter. Run away to your little lefty safe space Pink guy: ok Panel 2: Pink guy from the waist up. Turns to leave Panel 3: Pink guy from the waist up again, but this time he’s lurching forward like his momentum has been arrested Panel 4: Wider shot that reveals Red guy clasped to Pink guy’s ankle. Red guy. Pleaseee don’t leave me with cunts like me

right wingers when u quit twitter

Just wanted to tell you all that I am genuinely enjoying bluesky and all of you. The lack of prioritized replies by the worst people in the world/constant awful ads is great. I swapped the icon placement for the two apps and am finding this to be a wonderful place. Thanks for being *so much better.*
