I know a lot of folks here have their qualms about Bluesky, but I hope folks are paying attention to what Rudy Fraser and Blacksky Algorithms are doing to decentralize their community from Bluesky PBC infra.

The calls for Biden to resign the Presidency at which, by most measures, he continues to have historic success, only to leave Kamala Harris without a Vice President are as silly as calls for 71-year old Sherrod Brown to replace Biden on the presidential ticket.
Justice Roberts' Drone Strike on George Washington's Legacy
https://www.emptywheel.net/2024/07/01/justice-roberts-drone-strike-on-george-washingtons-legacy/
