Tim Cook went to the White House last night for a screening of the Melania documentary. Just hours after someone was murdered by ICE.

@ceilidhann.bsky.social is this of interest? And should @pajiba.com consider the move as well?
I will reiterate that if you are an independent journo/hobbyist I will happily set up your ghost install and host it for a few quid above cost price.
You set up your own stripe and mailgun accounts, and you get to keep ALL your revenue.
And post migration from wordpress/substack is pretty easy.

If there is one resolution I want for journalists this year: it is to get off S*bstack and use Ghost or any other indy publishing platform that does not fund literal nazis instead.

Watching America is like watching a game of Buckaroo. We’re all waiting to see what is going to be the final piece to make the mule kick. But also wondering if the game is just too worn and broken to ever kick and it just sits there, piled up with shit.

Hey @bsky.app , can we have an option to have accounts we follow NOT appear in the Discover feed? There's too much overlap currently. Every second or third post in Discover is one I already saw in Following.

maybe it's rare if you don't actually like movies
It’s rare to find a movie worth watching twice. So we asked The Atlantic’s writers and editors: What’s a film you can watch over and over again?

Our writers and editors share which films they can enjoy over and over again.

Let me Google that for you is a trope that spawned a few websites that allow passive-aggressive answers to a question. It would make a great podcast premise - the answerer could approach the question their way, going down rabbit-holes or doing deep dives. Perfect for @bechillcomedian.bsky.social
