Hello @rosecitycc.bsky.social peeps! As an effort to promote the wonderful folks who made it over to Blueksy, I wanted to share this list of #RCCC guests. I did my best to add every guest and #ArtistAlley attendee to this, so folks could keep up with each other at the con. bsky.app/profile/did:...

After blaming a (non-existent) staffer for the Obamas-as-apes video, this is quite a remarkable statement by Leavitt.
Q: The president just said on Truth Social it would be a 'big mistake' for UK to hold over control of Diego Garcia, but the State Dept said the US supports that handover
LEAVITT: The post should be taken as administration policy. When you see it on TS, you know it's directly from President Trump.

For @remapradio.bsky.social, I spoke with Love Eternal designer Toby Alden about making a game with an alienating level of challenge in an era where games are often trying to appeal to wider audiences. Plus, it's a horror platformer. Of course I'm in love with it. remapradio.com/other/love-e...

brings us back to the ole "get off twitter vs. stay on to counter-message" argument... twitter is actively turning people to the right, like FOX News, so that argument becomes a throwback to the old "should liberals go on fox news?" dispute from 10 years ago.
This is a very interesting new paper in Nature about the role that feed algorithms on X play in influencing political attitudes.

Federal Judges Can Barely Conceal Their Disgust For the Trump Administration’s Lawlessness
When federal judges are appending Bible verses to their signature blocks, that is generally a sign that democracy is not in a good place.

Annoying posters on both platforms; what is puzzling to me is that reply guys on Bluesky feel more annoying even as they are less hateful. My sense is that a lot of us feel more injury when we are accused of failing some ethical standards whereas it is easy to dismiss haters.
There are a lot of annoying posters on both platforms, but at least over there I'm an equal opportunity idiot, if you know what i mean. The tribalism over here is fatiguing in a way that doesn't reward good faith posting.

This evidence is consistent w/ real declines in teacher performance when teachers move to schools w/ less supportive working conditions and very different student populations.
This suggests teacher effectiveness is more dynamic than often assumed & school contexts matter.

The Brazilian political system is, structurally, very similar to the American one. But when they elected a Trump-style authoritarian back in 2018, their Congress and Supreme Court actually fought back.
