I don't know that we make rock stars anymore but I think Bruno Mars proves that a "weird little guy with too much energy" can still be a pop star

The malwarebytes Google opting-your-emails-into-ai-training thing is not true. The post is based on one bad tweet.

I know anti-tech lamenting is a Bluesky core principle, but please use the same judgement you would for any other clickbait.
