Bookmarking this for my content management class.

A very powerful read. I was not politically confident as a teenager, but I remember already feeing uneasy with how the attacks were being evoked within a couple of years. A couple of decades later, I think we all need to be asking the hard questions.

Great read on what’s become perhaps the most defensible platform on the social web (though Wikipedia certainly still has its problems).

On the internet, more and more people can learn you’re a dog.

Oh good, we’re making the national news on this.

Keeping an eye on this! E-bikes are exciting.

Sobering read.

Compelling case for asking about the tech environment adults are creating instead of hand-wringing about what kids are doing in it.

Happy to say that my local indie bookstore does not have this problem.

Datafying yourself is one thing, datafying your kids is another.

Passing a car through an intersection or keeping up with it in a roundabout is one of the greatest pleasures of commuting by e-bike.

Compelling reminder that climate change needs systemic—not individual—responses.

What a gut-wrenching story. Drone strikes are bad news.

This article is what got me to read the Wikipedia article in the last post, and now I want some of this merch (especially the “in this house we believe” one).

This is an unexpectedly fascinating Wikipedia article.

Very interesting piece on the relationship between technology and writing.

A great example of Ring cameras being gross.

Interesting story about efforts to write a story about the greater Geneva area that transcends national borders—and the project’s difficulty of transcending national borders. Reminds me of the time I was driving through Meyrin, took a wrong turn, and accidentally wound up in France—or when I would get from one side of the canton to the other during the awful rush hour by leaving Switzerland and taking a French autoroute around. Cities like Geneva really challenge the idea of borders.

Very interesting speculative fiction.

Interesting take on inauthentic content on Facebook.

Nope nope nope nope. If plate readers are going to become more common, I’ve got to start biking more places. Not that that will protect against Ring. 🤮🤮🤮

The Onion wins again.

I am only peripherally aware of Joe Rogan and don’t get great vibes from what I see, so I don’t really have any investment in how his podcast is doing. That said, this does speak to my concerns that Spotify’s attempts to land exclusive podcasts are threatening one of the last (and best) parts of the open web we’ve managed to hold onto. Also, very interesting use of digital methods here!

This is one of those features that sounds great but that I find absolutely terrifying. I hate smart TVs so much.

Great conversation in this podcast about the danger of dismissing comics as simply “easier to read.” I appreciated the discussion of the literacies needed to understand a comic.
