Remember how Meta suspended the Threads account tracking Mark Zuckerberg's private jet? www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2...

The Bluesky account saw the jet landed in Palm Beach yesterday, and Zuck had a private Mar-a-Lago meeting with Trump today: www.nytimes.com/live/2024/11...

Are there people you follow who post infrequently?

Want to see what they said in their one post this fortnight, and toss 'em a like for encouragement?

But they keep getting lost in your feed?

Turns out BlueSky has a feed to surface their posts 🤿

Just tap "pin to home" 😊

there should be a website you can use to search the internet

Among the worst was Paramount, aka CBS/Paramount.

People come and go. Corporate culture is forever.

Australia is now a legal fiction Far from maintaining the status quo, the No vote reduces the Australian constitution to a legal fiction predicated on the lie that First Peoples were not dispossessed by white invasion.

"Australia now occupies a unique position globally. It is the only colonial settler society in the world that not only does not recognise in any way those dispossessed by colonialism, but whose citizens have actively rejected any such recognition."

instructive how much of the appeal of any social platform/forum depends on culture. Bluesky is janky as hell and missing many key features but it has funny posts, so I keep coming back. Threads, on the other hand,
