Listen to the concert never meant to be heard-young musicians, winners of the US Marines selection, barred from playing with the official Marine Band cause of anti-DEI orders. Veterans stepped in to uphold the band's honor, Marines' dignity, and the nation. Thanks to CBS News for their courage

Countless are the practical applications derived from pure research that we use in our lives. Research is fundamental. This should be understood and defended by everyone. But it isn’t. So we must keep telling. Have a read of this story. It’s a lovely example of pure research turned into utility

Yesterday someone posted the link to watchdocumentaries.com/active-measures/ that discusses the playbook of how Putin exploits the vulnerabilities of open democracies to kill them. What is happening to us is exactly the same as what he did to Georgia. Enlightening. Thanks to whoever posted it!

It’s important to understand what’s truly at stake with Ukraine and why we must always resist the calls of wannabe leaders to withdraw support for the Ukrainian people www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

Wow. Here is one to brighten up your morning. The first images of the restored interior of Notre Dame cathedral. Breathtaking. In just five years France did it

Onwards with maintaining hospitals, schools, stores, and the water supply, this may be the best form of resistance

It is refreshing to read

Social media has dissolved the mortar of our society and made America stupid, Jonathan Haidt argued in 2022. It’s not just a phase. theatln.tc/XH7Zf8OQ

People who voted for the man fail to realize that if things turn for the worse, it will affect everyone, including them. There’s no badge to certify their membership in the tribe. In fact, there’s no real membership for them in his tribe at all

Governments should play a role in evaluating the potential impact of new products or updates from Facebook and other social media platforms on children and vulnerable users. There should be a shared interest in protecting users, rather than allowing social media platforms to benefit unilaterally

Hey @jay.bsky.team @bsky.app, could Bluesky add invite-based onboarding for communities like www.thetransmitter.org/community/hu...? Adding tools for auto-list joining (where new members can be added to curated lists automatically) & self-moderation (like Reddit) would boost trust and ease growth

In case you were not there in early days of Twitter… DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO BLOCK LISTS. It sounds like a great shortcut, but malicious actors come in and create lists that include folks from our side. This was a huge problem in 2017 on Twitter. Just block trolls as they hit your feed.

Returning from a post to the timeline in @bsky.app doesn’t refresh the timeline, unlike "the other platform," where you're forced to scroll back like chasing a bus you’ll never catch, while it keeps speeding up and hurling random passengers at you. This calm approach is such a relief. Grateful
