A cryptocurrency entrepreneur who spent $6.2 million on a banana duct-taped to a wall — ate the fruit in Hong Kong.

Justin Sun removed the tape and ate the banana during a press conference at The Peninsula Hong Kong.

"It tastes much better than other bananas. Indeed, quite good," he said.
A person with curly hair tied into a bun, wearing glasses, observes a conceptual art piece consisting of a ripe banana duct-taped to a plain white wall. The banana is secured with a strip of gray duct tape, positioned diagonally across the fruit. The text overlay at the bottom of the image reads: 'Cryptocurrency entrepreneur who bought banana art for $6.2 million eats the fruit in Hong Kong.'

The cats just put that button there to distract you.

It doesn't actually do anything.
The photo features a tabby cat with a striped coat in shades of brown, black, and cream. The cat is resting on a light wood, curved platform lined with a soft, white fabric. Its green eyes, with a sharp and piercing gaze, are the focal point of the image. The fur texture is rich and detailed, with a mix of smooth and slightly fluffy areas. The background is softly blurred, featuring a neutral tone that enhances the subject's prominence. The image conveys a cozy and relaxed atmosphere with a touch of feline attitude.

The image is a meme featuring a black-and-white still of a young boy from the movie Oliver Twist. He is holding a bowl, looking up with an expression of pleading innocence. The text overlay says: "PLEASE SIR, MAY I HAVE SOME MORE API QUERIES?"

A humorous meme showing two text message notifications at the top. The first message reads, “Babe ❤️❤️ $15,000 out of our checking account!?!” The second message reads, “Babe ❤️❤️ Is it what I think it is? 💍💍💍”. Below the messages is the AWS (Amazon Web Services) logo, implying a large unexpected expenditure on cloud services.

People are now connecting more Bluesky accounts to Buffer than Threads or Mastodon accounts.
Line graph showing the trend of social media account connections to Buffer, comparing Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon from August to early November. The orange line (Bluesky) shows a strong upward trend with a peak in mid-October, surpassing the purple line (Threads) and the teal line (Mastodon), indicating that more people are now connecting Bluesky accounts to Buffer than Threads or Mastodon accounts. Dashed lines near November suggest projected or estimated activity.

Buffer published a usage chart comparing Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky on their service. Bluesky is gaining fast and has already surpassed Mastodon.
A line chart comparing Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky usage on Buffer's service from early June to early November. The chart shows that Threads (in red) has a strong upward trajectory, rapidly increasing since early July and reaching over 5,000 users by November. Bluesky (in yellow) starts with no users in June but experiences a sharp rise from July onward, surpassing Mastodon (in light blue) in early October and continuing to grow toward 3,000 users by November. Mastodon (yellow) maintains a steady but flat line, hovering around 2,000 users without significant growth throughout the period.

The image shows a subscription summary for a Meetup Standard 6-month plan. It states that the last payment of $98.94 was received on June 1, 2024, and the next payment of $178.99 plus tax for the same plan will be charged on December 1, 2024. Below the summary, there are two red buttons: one labeled 'Update subscription' and the other labeled 'Upgrade to Pro Plan.

Kind of funny that I can't retort to this genius on @esqueer.net's Threads post because an oligarch's algorithm is preventing me from doing so. 🃏
In a social media thread, several users discuss the differences between Bluesky and the Fediverse. One user named 'esqueer_' states that Bluesky is built on a protocol bridging with the Fediverse, but finds the Fediverse challenging for non-technical users. Another user, '2023kdw,' argues that Bluesky is centralized, owned by a for-profit company, and therefore vulnerable to corporate takeovers, unlike the decentralized Fediverse. 'bsky_photographer' responds that Bluesky is a Public Benefit C Corp, with safeguards against harmful influence, adding that they’ve experienced issues with Mastodon related to UX, scalability, and identity ownership. In a reply, '2023kdw' notes that a public benefit corporation is still for-profit and points out Bluesky’s VC funding. A message at the bottom indicates a 'Post failed to upload,' with an option to 'View.', preventing bsky_photographer from engaging in good faith dialog. Browser tools show a hidden response of "Media blocked due to integrity." Go fuck yourself Mark Zuckerberg. 🖕🏻

RDP Hot Take
A scene from the show "I Think You Should Leave" with a man sitting at a desk in an office. He is wearing a light blue, checkered shirt with a dark green tie that has a subtle pattern of squares. His expression is animated, with a smile and raised eyebrows, suggesting he is explaining or justifying something. The background is a typical office setup: a dark brown cabinet above his head, a black fan on the desk behind him, and papers scattered on the surface. On the left side of the frame is a black computer monitor, partially cut off. Subtitles at the bottom read, “We should be able to put a little bit of RDP on the internet.” The lighting is bright, casting minimal shadows, creating a clean, crisp scene.

The image features a stylized, simplified representation of the Pokémon Lapras (#131). The creature has a soft blue body with a pale cream underside, large expressive red eyes, and a gentle smile. Its shell, depicted in muted grey tones, sits on its back like a smooth, ridged saddle. The background is a deep, dark blue, with small, floating stars or sparkles scattered around, adding a magical ambiance. The number “#131 Lapras” is displayed at the bottom in light blue text. The overall style is cute and minimalist, with smooth lines and soft shading.

Tea is also a very specific water. 🍵
A close-up photo of a tabby cat dipping its paw into a cup of tea. The cat is looking curiously at the tea with its paw partially submerged. The background shows a wooden shelf with some electronics and cables. The image captures a playful and inquisitive moment.

Slowly starting to reflect in DAU count (a different stat from rate), & already helping level off the decline in weekly & monthly users.

Big spike in follow activity, as new users rush to find their networks from Twitter & Threads (both of which are making major missteps). 🧃

Bluesky's Daily Active User rate just 3x'd against baseline activity.

So much so that it's recovering from the dip in weekly/monthly caused by a portion of the Brazil cluster returning to Twitter after the ban lifted.

Bluesky welcoming new arrivals from Threads
This image is a still from the movie Midsommar (2019), directed by Ari Aster. It shows a group of women in traditional Swedish-style clothing participating in a communal expression of grief. The central character, Dani (played by Florence Pugh), is visibly distraught, with the other women mirroring her emotional state and holding her as part of a shared ritualistic experience. This scene captures the film’s exploration of communal rituals, emotional catharsis, and cultural practices within the fictional Swedish pagan community.

“Capitalism is the gravest threat of moral consistency.” — Karl Marx (probably)
The image is a screenshot of a humorous exchange on Bluesky between a business called “RugsnotDrugs” and a user named Daniel Hückmann. “RugsnotDrugs” is promoting their rug-selling business with a post saying, “Help us spread the word about our business!” Daniel replies, humorously asking for “a rug that would be fun to stare at during an acid trip.” In response, “RugsnotDrugs” shares an image of a brightly colored, wavy-patterned rug from their collection, implying that the vibrant design would be ideal for such a psychedelic experience.

In fact, you can't even view the help article about objecting to certain practices:
A screenshot of the help article titled "Information about objections and how you can object on Facebook." The subtext says: "This information is not available in your area."

Immediately updates it on the clipboard, nice for sharing (e.g. when copying a URL from Spotify).

Looking at Pasteboard viewer, it also implements "x.nspasteboard.ModifiedType" which a number of clipboard managers use to prevent duplicates.
