Hi, BlueSky friends: Do you have any recommendations for a Pocket that has shut down? While we are able to "export" all our Pocket saves, I wonder if there's a comparable app that would allow a smooth transition! Thank you in advance for helping out. 🙏🏽 #Pocket

Responses from Jigar Shah and Dave Roberts suggest that many of the reactions referring to Project2025 should be expected; Most of them are either inarticulate, impatient, or insensitive, and some are reliving the worst instincts from the old site.

I had a feeling that a variable other than gender might be a stronger predictor of difference in the support for Trump. Look at this @pewresearch.org poll of U.S. adults conducted between April 7-13, 2025. #PresidentialApproval www.pewresearch.org/politics/202...

Hey BlueSky! Today is the birth anniversary of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, a remarkable statesperson who chaired India's Constituent Assembly and fought for the rights of Dalits, Indigenous Peoples, and religious minorities. Dr. Ambedkar was an early champion of universal education and women's rights. ✊🏽✊🏽
