The Israeli assault on Beirut has highlighted the invisible lines inherited from the Lebanese civil war. Life on one side of the street, death on the other side. This is the scariest part going forward. A city divided by grief and experience. #Lebanon

I have to go to bed, so sadly I'll miss the big moment, but knowing that when I wake up Bluesky will have reached its 20 million-user target is incredibly exciting to me, and I expect too many of you.
So glad this place is blossoming! And so glad to be experiencing its blossoming with all of you. 🦋

Coca wine was a popular alcoholic beverage in the 19th century. Each bottle contained approximately 6 milligrams of cocaine per ounce. One popular brand, Vin Mariani, was enjoyed by Jules Verne, Alexander Dumas, and Arthur Conan Doyle. Thomas Edison claimed it helped him stay awake! #skystorians
