Hundreds of millions of dollars are being made on well-timed oil bets occurring just before Trump posts. But can we call it insider trading? @timothyjgraham @QUT theconversation.com/the-mark…

Bluesky is giving me a feeling I haven’t felt in about 20 years. That the Internet is fun and awe inspiring
Curious to see what people think

Twitter is dying.
I have a blue sky.
It is the same handle as my twitter handle.

Whether you are thinking of leaving this platform or just want to diversify your social media, now's a good time, because it's one of those moments when folks are signing up to other platforms and following others in large numbers.

Not leaving quite yet, but I’m finding my Bluesky feed less noisy and more enjoyable.
@martinpotthast created a starter pack with some members of the IR community, which we hope it keeps growing!
