went kind of long on this one, but I have a lot of percolating thoughts on journalists who continue to use that dogshit platform, and the weird demonization of Bluesky by AI boosters, engagement hounds, and billionaires unpleasantly inconvenienced by political reality

Newton's defense of his return to Twitter is just kind of sad and predictable Gruber's glow up of Twitter is just trolling, silly, tone-deaf gaslighting, and utterly disqualifying

I don't get the demonization of Bluesky just because it's not the place to boost your AI. There are many other places. I wouldn't go near X, but go to LinkedIn if you want to see people bragging about how they're delegating everything to AI agents. Take a seat on Caltrain between SF and Palo Alto.

I really loved Hard Fork and paid for Casey's newsletter, Platformer. No more. He made such a huge deal about using Ghost instead of Substack to host Platformer cause Nazi's. I guess doing the right thing went poof once that sweet, sweet NYTimes money was gone. I unsubscribed and won't go back.

If all they have is a burner account on X to report on whatever crazy shit Elno is posting, then it makes sense for some. If they're actively participating in the discourse there, then they're part of the problem!
