There are many terrifying things happening right now, but let’s not forget about this spectacularly dumb thing that is also, somehow, continuing.

Some good observations worth bookmarking.

I’ve been waiting for this one for a while, and I got weak and ceded to Hoopla rather than wait for the TPB to arrive at my local library. I continue to appreciate this series, and Issue 43 (the real horror is what’s going on in the world right now) is really good, a highlight of the whole thing. I have to admit, though, that it didn’t otherwise feel worth the wait.

Technology, efficiency, and growing public and private power—this has Ellul written all over it. Gift link.

Good reporting from the Kernel on a really disappointing set of changes at the university.

Well, this is terrifying.

Good connection of the worrying story about removing anti-ICE apps to bigger problems in tech.

This never occurred to me, but distupting interlibrary loan is a mortal sin.

Truly, we live in the dumbest (and pettiest) timeline.

Depressing read but very well put.
