  An article about Bluesky struggling to make money. If only there was a decentralized social media platform whose users have been predicting this for years, but Fast Company is apparently unaware of our existence.

  Watched UHF tonight. Or rewatched. If you are old enough to understand all the cultural and media references it holds up quite well. If you were born this century it is probably incomprehensible.
