I keep seeing people today say "these labeler implosions just prove that Bluesky needs a T&S team". Folks: Bluesky has a T&S team. @aaron.bsky.team runs it. They've gotten incredibly fast at handling issues. I've seen sub-5-minute responses on some of my reports.

Gunmen shot up a synagogue in Dagestan. You may remember Dagestan from when a mob encircled a flight from Israel and demanded to know "where the Jews are!" (and you may remember *that* incident from a certain lefty journalist questioning whether it was antisemitic or just targeting "zionists").
The attack took place in the same region where a mob sought out passengers coming from Israel in 2023.
