The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up

Hello, Bluesky! ☀️

We fund frontier research in Europe—bold ideas, unexpected discoveries and science that shapes the future. So it’s only fitting we’ve landed here. Sorry for being late.

Follow us for updates on ERC funding, research policy, and our grantees' discoveries.

happy first birthday to Bluesky, and what a year it's been!

with every day, the need for an open network that puts people first becomes increasingly clear. we're glad to be building this with you. after all, the heart of a social network is the people.

Popular meme format, grandma labeled with "bluesky's public launch was one year ago today." Younger person helping her labeled with "sure grandma let's get you to bed."

אני לא יודע מי אתה שהגשת את התביעה נגד גוגל, וגם לא על מה בדיוק התביעה ומה גובה הפיצוי, אבל תודה!

How about placing cars at the bottom of the food chain?
Meaning cars will be the least prioritized in most of situations, fining car drivers like crazy, and treating any incident that involved a car like it's mostly the car driver's fault?.
Will that cause a major shift? In theory yes, in reality No
