Is Bluesky the New Old Twitter?

This week: Bluesky feels like the Twitter of old. Will that last? Emily Peck , Elizabeth Spiers , and Anna Szymanski discuss the new popularity of the social platform and whether or not it’s becoming a liberal bubble. Then, Indian billionaire Gautam Adani is being charged with fraud by federal prosecutors for bribing Indian officials for solar energy contracts. Also, there’s a rising trend of “anti-work” businesses. The hosts discuss what that means and if there is any real marketing juice behind a political label.
