I'm embarrassed to say I'm late to the party for this! I have done several broadcast history projects and am starting to work on one about the history of shortwave broadcasting. I used the LOC a while back working on NBC's 75th Anniversary. How can I learn more?

Sigh…

A perspective worth thinking about, though the writer states "I still hope that social media itself will fade away", and I'm not sure I agree. Can that door be closed? I still love staying up-to-date with friends; I'm not sure that Bluesky will become algorithmically rotten and/or an "echo chamber".

I'm really enjoying Bluesky so far! But it's been a long while since I've posted unguardedly, as I did earlier on in my social media career (going all the way back to my Echo BBS days). I came to Twitter late, but think this style fits me better than FB. Just not sure I have much more to say. 🤔

Hey @therealjimsanto.bsky.social. How you doin’?

Very true. I meant it in terms of Trump becoming president or not. Even when he lost the national vote in 2016 he "won".

Thanks, Jim. Me too. Comforted, somewhat, that Trump only won 0.4% of the national vote... as if that mattered.

So... it's a week after the morning after. How are you making out?

Oh, cool! Still learning the ropes.

Well, thank you very much!!

Back. Sort of. I think!

Facebook logged me off! I guess it's as good a moment as any to make my first post here. Hello!
