@DannyBehar @davemark @gruber still not up. I've been checking TED website regularly and they seem to be milking it and are posting only 1-2 TED talk videos per day. The last TED conference had about 80 talks so this might take a while.

@chrismessina lol, yes, it certainly doesn't sound like the wisest choice of an icon to put it mildly.

I see a lot of criticism of #Bluesky in my #mastodon TL. Much of it **very** angry and resentful. I don't have access to Bluesky so can't judge first hand but I don't doubt that much of this criticism is valid. However, what I see very little of is any kind of reflection of **why** people are choosing Bluesky (even in its very early stage of development) over Mastodon. After 6 months here I see a number of big deficiencies which as far as I know are not being addressed. Moreover, I recall that in the first migration wave there were a number of people including journalists who articulated those deficiencies but were shouted down by ideologues. The result: they left.
This is not the way. Mastodon needs to adapt and do it quickly.

@kevinrothrock I think they still need a pretext for using WMDs.

easy one today.

@kevinrothrock an attack on Dear Leader can be used as a pretext to justify *anything*. like using WMDs. or for an assassination attempt on Zelensky while he is abroad.

@kevinrothrock do tell why. most of us peasants don't have access to it yet.

Aim well, lads. A single man wearing a crown is a small target.
