The European Medicines Agency (EMA) said on Monday it would no longer post on X and would use rival Bluesky instead, becoming the latest organisation to quit a social media platform that some have criticised for its content.

Yeah it’s not an ideal platform.. I wish there was something similar to Instagram. Blue sky is just convo - sound bites…

It is.. but best to build something now rather than jump ship at the last minute…

At this point, we should all be peer pressuring anyone who isn’t a Nazi sympathizer to stop using X and get on Bluesky.

Bluesky is not an echo chamber, it’s the next digital frontier of the resistance against fascism.

We won’t cede ground anywhere, but we will build up our power and alliances everywhere.

With X, Meta and TikTok all tacitly or explicitly endorsing the orange menace, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE if you want to help build the resistance to defend truth, justice and accountability.

Bluesky is now closing in on 30M users and growing… LFG!!!

Yesterday, Gem found out that icicles sound like xylophones. I went back today to activate their tiny wooden sounds.

I then put the recording through an arpeggiator & added some grain delay. I'm really happy with the percussiveness of it all.

Hope you're all staying warm!

NOW: More than 98% of #Costco shareholders have just rejected an anti-DEI measure

The attempt to force Costco to audit their #DEI work was by an anti-inclusion lobby group:

I’m here because of everything that’s happened in the last few days. Hoping to build a following and a community.. so that I can eventually leave Instagram and Zuckerberg 🙏
