I've watched this video so many times since Sunday. The power and speed of the riders and the energy of the crowd come through here in a way they never do on the regular broadcast clips.
Bikes rule.
Many people have asked how they can help support Sill. Now you can with Sill+, a new subscription tier for Sill. Today, Sill+ gives you beta access to the forthcoming iOS app!
Didn't plan to get absolutely hooked on a new game this week, but here we are. If you like puzzle/roguelike type stuff, do yourself a favor and check out this game.
Excited to launch this new ๐ data tool today.
@yonahfreemark.com dug into the data to provide a look at how much housing is located near transit infrastructure across states and metropolitan areas in the US. Click the link to the numbers for your state.

How much housing is located near the nation's transit?
45% of units are located within a 1/2 mile of bus or rail. But only 10% is near frequent service... and 6% is near a rail station.
Our new data tool @urbaninstitute.bsky.social allows you to investigate in detail! www.urban.org/data-tools/h...
It's here! Sill has a new backend, empowering a slew of new features: activity from across the Atmosphere, new publication/author pages, and overall better link scraping. More to come, this is just the beginning!
Hello journalism friends. Do you want your news organization's links on Bluesky to look fancy like this? Get in touch, I can help. blog.euphonos.studio/3lyfwrx7zn222
"If you find the current Bluesky community grating, the answer needn't be "make Bluesky different." The answer can be "make a different community." Or use a different lens onto the same network. Or wait for someone else to build the lens you want and use that."
Bluesky isn't the point, atproto is.
Bandcamp Friday begins in T-minus 12 hours! From midnight to midnight PDT, we'll waive our revenue share and pass the funds directly to artists and labels.
I maybe went a *little* overboard and turns out we're gonna have quite a few awesome folks speaking / presenting at our coming @atproto.nyc meetup, swing by if you're free!
also already seeing some interest in working groups e.g. to make a website & get local communities involved :D
Excited for our meetup this coming Monday โ shaping up to be a good turnout; we've got not one, not two, not threeโฆ
Okay look we have SIX confirmed speakers! See below ๐คฉ
Mon @ 5:30p (talks ~6) in Brooklyn โ see you there!
OK this piece by @reckless.bsky.social about why AI is unpopular among most people (anyone who's not inflicted with "software brain") is just solid gold from start to finish
I'm excited to announce another guest post on the atproto.com blog! This time, we're featuring @spacecowboy17.bsky.social, the maintainer of the popular For You Feed (bsky.app/profile/spac...)!

Alrightttt it's on the calendar! Found a great central venue & excited to make this more of a regular *thing* w/ talks etc (ping me with your talk ideas btw!)
+ plz DM if you'd like to join a Signal chat for local organizers, could use some help w/ setup & planning future things :)
NYC friends โ join us in Brooklyn for our next meetup the evening of Monday, May 4!
We'll have pizza, do a few short talks, and hang and get atmospheric ๐
Send us your talk ideas and reach out if you'd like to help organize this & future events. See you there! ๐โจ
Phenomenon of homes being used for investment or 2nd homes is rare overallโbut a major issue in small sections of big, rich cities like New York. Some areas of Midtown & Upper East Side have >30% overall housing vacancy, with a large share of that coming from homes being used as vacation properties.

The five boroughs are home to at least 47 varieties of cherry and cherry-esque blossoms, 15 varieties of magnolias and 26 varieties of crabapples, according to Parks Department data.
Here's where you can find them:

Spent last weekend in the woods. Saw many lovely things like trees, moss and lichen-covered rocks, the valley shrouded in clouds from above. Freshly full of gratitude for the planet we live on here.
I've been getting by on second hand ThinkPads off of ebay running linux for the past 5 years. It has worked out great, and I have saved a lot of money compared with buying Apple.
It has really shifted my whole relationship to technology as product and to consumerism etc. Highly recommend.
@steviebonifield.bsky.social got a 9-year-old ThinkPad X1 Carbon on eBay for 250 of god's own dollars. It can't be upgraded to Windows 11 but it sure can be upgraded to Linux!
Really enjoyed working with Stevie on this piece.
Maybe we can call it the Black & Blue Marble? In any case, I wrote about the first picture of Earth from Artemis II:

I can envision at least three separate businesses bigger than substack (in terms of actual value created) built on top of standard.site each with their own value props.
When you go from moats to roads you stop building castles and start building cities and *everybody* gets a whole lot richer.
I think the best example is the publishing apps
Theyโre all cool, but all have given their moat to @standard.site and atproto. Even with paid features I see a bunch of lifestyle businesses and not vs investable companies
If all goes to plan, tomorrow night, a spacecraft with four astronauts will start its mission toward the moon - the first time since 1972. To illustrate the journey, we set out with a simple yet crazy idea: Letโs show this journey to scale. Here's the result: www.zeit.de/wissen/2026-...

Here's the thing: there is no going back to a different era of Twitter. This doesn't replace it, Threads doesn't replace it, Twitter doesn't replace it. That era is dead, no return, it was a very fun 5-10 year window or so that dragged on past its prime until it dropped off a cliff.
maybe im doing it wrong but i feel like the various crises of 2026 have revealed the limitations of this platform for me. twitter was always invaluable to me in chaotic times bc you had a lot of subj matter expert weirdos coming out of the woodwork. just dont feel like there's a much of that here rn
I think all coding agents need remote multiplayer support for collaborative sessions in the terminal built in.
Hop on a call, go back and forth, watch a prototype come into view.
Multiple people per agent, not multiple agents per person.
