Imagine being a media company in 2025 and insisting journalists work from the main office.

Caught a train to dinner with my youngest and his partner and we were talking about Japanese politeness before and this was on the carriage :)

The secret to MY happy marriage:

1. Make sure your spouse knows every day how much you love, value and respect them

2. Don't do things that you would be ashamed to tell your spouse about

3. Be present for your spouse

4. Apologize when you do stupid things

5. Make them laugh when you can

The โ€˜Mainstream Mediaโ€™ Has Already Lost The newspapers and networks of the 20th century are ceding ground. And the people taking their place arenโ€™t playing by the same rules.

A very smart piece by Helen Lewis.๐Ÿ‘‡

"We have to let go of the notion that โ€œmainstream mediaโ€ is a category reserved only for journalists guided by a professional code of ethics, a mission of public service, and an aspiration toward objectivity or at least fairness."

You're not "late to the party" when you enjoy an old book for the first time. Books don't have an RSVP deadline. The party started long ago, and guests show up when they're meant to.

Twitterโ€™s heir apparentย isnโ€™tย X or Threadsย โ€”ย itโ€™sย Bluesky The blue bird is dead. Long live the blue sky.

Others have noted it but I will too: The big reason Bluesky is so hot right now is that the people who add value to social media - the frequent posters in specific fields - are here now, talking to each other and creating the "spectator value" that draws users and attention.

Someone called this mass exodus from Twitter โ€˜the fall of the Broman Empireโ€™ and I died laughing. ๐Ÿ’€

Good morning, Bluesky. There is beauty in the world, if you look for it.

Thanks for pointing that out. I had a look and don't understand why, but I did follow.
