Bluesky just passed 40 million users... and you probably didn't hear a thing.

Why?

Because this isn’t just another social network.

It's something bigger.

Click the image, then check the alt text to find why it's different and why you should care.
We've all felt it: something's off with the old platforms. You post your thoughts, crickets. You see the same viral content on repeat. You miss the people you actually care about. Because the feed isn't for you, it's for the algorithm. You're not the user. You're the product. Engagement is optimized...not for depth, but for addiction. We gave up control, context, and creativity for a dopamine drip. But Bluesky said: what if we rewrote the rules? No hidden levers. No black box feeds. Just a simple idea: Put people back in charge of their experience. Bluesky is built on the AT Protocol, meaning you own your identity and you choose your algorithms. Chronological feeds? Check. Custom feeds? Absolutely. Moderation tools you can adjust? Yes. It's not just "a new Twitter". It's a network of networks. Decentralized, customizable, and truly yours.** And guess what? It feels like early internet again. People talk. Weird ideas thrive. You can grow a community without selling your soul to trends. You don't need to go viral. You need to be real. And it's not slowing down. 40 million users now and growing fast. Creators, devs, artists, thinkers, entire niches are finding a home here. You don't need permission to belong. You just need to show up. So if you've been watching from the sidelines... this is your sign. The door's open. The vibes are good. And you're not too late. If this resonated, repost it for someone who's been curious but hesitant. You might be the reason they finally join :)

American Airlines ✈️ honored Bessie Coleman, the first Black woman to earn a pilot's license 100 years ago, with a flight operated entirely by Black women, from maintenance crew to the all female crew from Dallas to Phoenix. ❤️

This is special, this is newsworthy.

Cool ancient discoveries. Just imagine the skill and effort to carve a canoe out of a solid oak tree trunk with ancient tools.

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.

If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

Rep. Thomas Massie: "The president has been saying this is a hoax…Well, he's just now decided to investigate a hoax...If they have ongoing investigations, those documents can't be released. So this might be a big smoke screen…to prevent the release of the Epstein files."

Two-thirds of California's power comes from clean energy.

For 9 in 10 days so far this year, we were 100% powered for some part of the day by clean energy.

The Golden State has become the world's fourth-largest economy because of our climate leadership, not in spite of it.
