Since I joined Twitter in 2006 I've seen a lot of challengers come and go. But BlueSky does seem to have something extra. Just joined today @willmill5.bsky.social

In Budget 2026, we’re backing the Canadian artists who tell our stories.
That means if you’re a Canadian artist, you won’t pay tax on up to $45,000 of income derived from your creative work.
Been away from X/Twitter for a while, but great to be working with @snafu_records and Claimy 🇸🇪🇫🇷 as new clients of Exponential Advisory Partners.

Tucked away in the #Pluribus credits, it reads, “This show was made by humans.”
“I hate AI,” creator Vince Gilligan told Variety with a chuckle. “AI is the world’s most expensive and energy-intensive plagiarism machine. I think there’s a very high possibility that this is all a bunch of horseshit. It’s basically a bunch of centibillionaires whose greatest life goal is to become the world’s first trillionaires. I think they’re selling a bag of vapor.”

People need reflection.
I regret not having more time with you. Your undeniable beauty and talent were not of this world, and a presence not of this world needs protection in a world that covets light and the anointing of God. You sir, moved us, stirred us, inspired and even intimidated others to action with your genius. Thank you for being a beacon of light to a generation and beyond who had no remembrance of the legacy that preceded us. Thank you for charting the course and for making space during a time when no similar space really existed.
You imaged a unity of strength and sensitivity in Black manhood to a generation that only saw itself as having to be one or the other. It is my earnest prayer that you are in peace, far away from selfishness, fear and/or controlling interests. Far from possessiveness, far from greed, far from manipulation, far from exploitation, far from intentionally designed chaos and that you Brother are in peace, in bliss and in eternal light and fulfillment with our Father in heaven. I Love you and I miss you. May God grant peace and shelter to your family, true friends and genuine appreciators, Brother, King.

breaks my heart how prescient this post was 😢
An A+ cinema experience...
People often say that Hollywood is out of original ideas and that movies are not worth going to see in the theater anymore. Weapons is everything you could want in a film… Intriguing, unique, horrifying and awesomely entertaining.
Go see it #WeaponsMovie

I'm deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Steve O'Hear. Incredibly talented journalist and part of the Tech ecosystem. Spent much time discussing tech/music with him. Playing one his songs today loudly in his memory, rest easy: open.spotify.com/track/4hNS2…
In memory of Steve O'Hear | @sohear
A beloved friend and colleague.
TechCrunch has lost one of its best. Steve O’Hear, who wrote for TechCrunch for more than a decade out London, has passed away after a short illness. He was 49. ❤️

The sobering reality that only 11 of the 34 grassroots music venues that @Oasis played on their first tour still exist today.
Gone are 23 spaces that took a punt on a new band from #Manchester who would become one of the most iconic in British music history.

A lot of talk that Suno is the “future of music”… but most consumers want to interact WITH artists, not replace them
AI Agenda Funding Exclusive: AI music generator Suno raised capital from Lightspeed at a $500 million valuation. Plus, ScarJo says Altman went behind 'Her' back.
