Lessons from our siblings in Brazil.
I don't know that there is a template or a "secret sauce" or a clear-cut lesson to take from this. But if there is one it's the idea of treating social media as the hostile territory that it is, of actually acting like you are a participant in propaganda warfare and not like a consumer.
Riding the algorithm as political action. Wild shit out of Brazil
Some ground rules that have helped us: - Go outside your bubble, try new social media channels - Don’t underestimate the power of WhatsApp (although less so in the U.S.) - Post on the Instagram grid, not just stories - Watch every Instagram video until the end before sharing - IGNORE THEM

Bluesky elders know that @lulaoficialbluesky.bsky.social was the first head of state on the platform!

That stat is startling! But this is what I mean when I say that Americans only notice horrific things that happen to Black people, when they start happening to non-Black people🤷🏿♂️ Ferguson, MO has 14K Black people. It issued ~20K racist citations a year against them🤯, leading to ~30K arrest warrants.
Startling stat — a police officer in a small Texas town handed arrested and handed over immigrants to ICE at such volume that the total number is the equivalent of 10% of his town's population. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/25/m...

Replying to @alexbenzer.com
some folks reported not being able to use certain adult-focused platforms (like onlyfans and fansly) — there was an internal miscommunication and these were accidentally added to the list of disallowed domains. this is now fixed! but you may need to refresh your app to get the update. 💙

i think the assumption that LLMs are going to make software more stable and secure are basically for the foreseeable future outright false. LLMs are not producing more secure and stable code unless significant attention is paid to what they ship, which it generally is not. and attacking is ~free.
would be interested to see more debate on this from security types and even some formal modeling. my hunch is that you can lock down individual systems quite well and the ways they interact in such a way that the probability of end to end exploits goes tolerably close to zero x.com/CJHandmer/st...

Congrats to Larry, the Cloak team, and all the writers who will benefit from this technology. Unions work. ✊
Been quietly working on this with @wgaeast.bsky.social and @cloakprotect.org for the past year. Now writers can protect their work and the chatbots can be humbled. deadline.com/2026/10/wga-...

For real though, if we want pop culture to come to Bluesky we need mod filters that are aligned with what anyone can see just by turning the TV on @support.bsky.team
The girls are crying out for help @aaron.bsky.team And by the girls I mean the top culture posters on this site bsky.app/profile/toma...
Silly @bsky.app, putting an adult content label on a dress
