Blacksky is 100% the spirit of atproto and it’s been incredible to watch them achieve so much. The world is better because of self sustaining communities like them. Also I personally donated, the company donated

I wrote about the Epstein files (gift link) www.theverge.com/tech/874721/...
How the men in the Epstein files defeated #MeToo
The emails show the “anti-woke” crusaders are afraid of accountability.

hey just fyi I would not have been able to draw these connections without Peter's excellent work on the Edge Foundation. tracing science funding is only going to get more important as federal funds are slashed, and I hope some young science journos follow his good example
Synthesis of the murky world of Epstein, Tech Bros, Science Bros, Edge/Brockman Bros. Glad to see the extensive links, including to my reporting from 2018-19.

"It’s hard not to read these files and come to the conclusion that Epstein helped engineer the ultimate elite impunity — in which our society has been totally destroyed so the richest and most powerful men in the world can do whatever they want."

@skeetsapp.com and @flashes.blue already display pronouns labels and let users edit them.
i didn't know that the `app.bsky.actor.profile` schema has pronouns built in! perhaps this should be accessible in app, cause i would love this instead of needing a labeler for it
Witchsky issue #48 ooo tangled.org/jollywhopper... (I hope to add pronouns, websites, join dates, AND PDS hosts! all good things to know about users. and that'll knock out the need for 3 cosmetic labelers! 🥳)

Kolumne: Die Milliardärsideologie basiert auf grotesk missverstandener Wissenschaft. Gesellschaften, die die Idee akzeptieren, dass grenzenlose Gier gut&universell ist, gehen von einer grotesk verzerrten Wahrnehmung der menschlichen Natur aus. Das geht irgendwann schief. Adam Smith rotiert im Grab.

Yeah if you want to make an atproto app that has other off-protocol features that’s fine
If you want to have private posts exclusive to your app like Blacksy did that’s cool
You don’t need to slippery slope everything
