N.J. just struck a blow against banning books
It's called the "Freedom to Read Act."

That exhilarating feeling that *everything is possible* when you open an editor to code, it hopefully never goes away.

I keep reading that this is a place for kinder people, but gentle souls have always been among us. We just couldn’t hear them anymore. Perhaps our gathering here is proof that we missed those voices. What a wonderful thing to believe about ourselves. It can be a bold move to choose kindness.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to justify your reading preferences and choices to anyone. Audiobooks count as reading. Also, you don't have to finish books you don't enjoy. Don't read to impress, read for yourself. Life's too short, love yourself, ok?

David Baker visits all the Rosetta folks after his Nobel lecture. And photo of all three Chemistry laureates - David Baker, Demis Hassabis, and John Jumper. An honor to be here in Stockholm to see this.

Yes. This experiment will work if you make it your own. Customize your experience, build new ones, make a social network that can be controlled by the people who use it an idea we do not go back on.
The deep goal of bluesky is to decentralize the social internet so that every individual controls their experience of it rather than having it be controlled by 5 random billionaires. Everyone thinks they signed up for a demuskified twitter...we actually signed an exciting and bizarre experiment.

3/ And if I may, that's not even something we'd wish for. Open source and open science mean people explore, test, and correct mistakes if there were any, taking responsibility for them in a very transparent way. We don't need the ethicist there to say what's right and what's wrong.

This moment in Bluesky is a great example of how joy itself can be defiance and resistance.
We are just hanging out, shitposting, being silly, happy, and normal. It is being treated as if it is transgressive, opting out of the endless negativity. Because in a way, it is.
Joy is my favorite weapon.

While Bluesky looks like other social apps on the surface, it’s actually quite different. It’s an open network.
