Now that Bluesky is open to the public, I hope developers and publishers give it a second look. It has a lot of good ideas about the future of social networking: www.platformer.news/bluesky-publ...

"When the Times opinion page pretends that conservatism is David Brooks or Bret Stephens, when it maintains the comforting illusion that American politics is a contest of ideas, it is not exposing its readers to uncomfortable truths — it is sheltering them."

The real problem with the New York Times op-ed page: it’s not honest about US conservatism
It wants to challenge its readers, but not with the ugly truth.

Piracy Is Surging Again Because Streaming Execs Ignored The Lessons Of The Past
