  1. Yeah, really digging Wyatt as US Agent/John Walker.
  2. Adam Mosseri and Zuckerberg really fucked up with Threads. They had the time and the motivation. A shitload of us really gave them a chance, but they had to be stubborn on things like forcing us to use another app for DMs (Instagram) and not rolling out certain features that allowed newbies to Bluesky to hit the ground running.
  3. When finding all my history and writing nerds and Ukraine OSINT people are moving over to Bluesky. It's not quite the Shaggy -> Surly exodus, but it's happening. I am seriously loving the feeds function. I had been using the Starter Pack stuff, but the feeds was what I needed to look into.
  4. I think it's time to....at the very least, just keep Threads on autopilot/backup. Bluesky seems to be where it's at now - I've used Threads for many months, but have more new followers and activity in the past two days on Bluesky than I have on Threads in total.
  5. It's a funny thing - you would have thought that invading and holding Mother Russia's territory for months would be a huge red line that was crossed, but nope, so how bad can things get?. It just meant that Russia had to beg North Korea for troops to help out, which plays into the theory that they are stretched extremely thin in most areas outside of their meat grinder in the Donbas. Ukraine has yet to put its homegrown heavy stuff into service, and some have speculated that they are saving it for a future situation where they may decide to lay waste to Moscow and St. Petersburg or some other scenario.
  6. Trump Jr is going around bragging that Ukraine is going to be cut off from our aid, so who do you think has the inside track? As for Rubio, etc., they will all be gone within 6 months of taking their oaths.
  7. Log in once in a while - they've said at some point they are going to release inactive accounts back into the pool of unused handles. It's why I'm not deleting my accounts, just my tweets, and moving future stuff over to Bluesy, although if enough people are doing it, he may get mad and take the handles of anybody who bails for Bluesky or Threads.
  8. Between the curated feeds and the starter packs, it’s really easy to transition over to BlueSky.
  9. I’m not going to dox myself. Yep, I tripled my followers this morning with two starter packs, and it’s people I want following me, that I want to interact with. I found some Ukrainian groups/starter packs that easily replace my Twitter stuff (mainly because it’s OSINT people moving to Twitter). I really had not dived too deeply into BlueSky, but this week is off to a helluva start. I see that they’ve picked up over 650,000 new subscribers in the past two days, and it’s active enough to keep them.
  10. I'm still amazed we are on the 8th one. I can remember seeing the first one and being impressed. Holy shit, I just realized the first one came out in '96.
  11. Because Leon is no longer hiding his plans about their content? None of them want their work showing up in his AI.
  12. Which is why they are bailing. They aren't creating content for Leon to train his AI on it and pump out his own content based on their content.
  13. By snowball, I meant avalanche. Bunch of writers and journalists are fleeing shitter. Not sure if they are doing it as a fuck you to Leon wanting their content for his AI or what.
  14. Outside of the ground shaking, will they notice?
  15. That’s changing. I’m seeing a bit of a snowball effect towards BlueSky and to a lesser extent Threads.
  16. Hate that Bobby outlived his sons Clifford and Davey by 30 years, and damn near died himself in the 80s at Pocono. He had a helluva good run though, and he and his brother Donnie, and Cale Yarborough’s little scuffle helped make NASCAR what it was in the 80s and 90s.
  17. NASA and SpaceX are still mum on why they had to hospitalize crew members after the splash down. NASA Remains Stubbornly Silent on Why Crew Went to Hospital After Dragon Splashdown
  18. Yeah, Threads is nice, except for the no DMs thing, but maybe that's part of why it's nice - there's rarely any bots (I think I've seen a few in the past 6 months), and the conversations can be pretty solid once you find your community. While it has a high user number, the lack of advertising is keeping the bots at bay.
