I've been following things in #Bluesky, but the way it renders links really puzzles me.
1. When @davew is posting links, Bluesky is not showing the link cards.
2. When @jeffjarvis posts links his posts have link cards.
3. When @kottke posts links it does not show link cards, and includes some brackets.
This is frustrating, I would like to see the link cards always because I want to see the title and image of the post.
Also, some of the links show a warning when I click and some don't.
Jeff adds link cards manually through the iOS app or on the web. I submit my posts via API, which allows me to do custom link text. (I suspect Dave does the same). API users have to provide their own link card, which I haven't gotten around to doing yet.
(This DIY approach to the API actually lets you submit posts without links but with link cards. Or with link cards that don’t go to the same URL as the link in the post. Fun!

An open secret of big pharma is that the bulk of their "innovation" is trivial—they're mostly generating analogues to evade patents—and the real breakthroughs are always mostly/entirely government initiated and funded, then handed to private companies for rent-seeking.
