A compelling reminder that social media companies make money from eyeballs pointed at screens.

Tentatively excited! Such a great comic—they’d better do it justice.

The more pies Amazon has its fingers in, the more concerning it becomes.

Well played, The Onion. Well played.

Really want to see Fairphone start selling in U.S.

This means we’re going to get some soon, right?

Worrying read but important one.

I immediately connected with this emoji the first time I saw it. Also, I remember writing a paper in high school arguing that emoticons were legitimate “language.” The paper was horrible, but I still believe in that central thesis, and I think emojis are vindicating it.

I get that this is The Onion and that this isn’t how taxes work, but this article still fees like a gut punch.

This sounds like a great place for a family bike ride!

TGV forever

Very interesting to think about how mental models re: file storage may be changing.

Crossing fingers!

What a heartbreaking story. We need to rethink our relationship with drones—and war.

So far, I’ve only watched the pilot and am not sure how far I’ll make it in the series, but this article reinforces my belief that 2021 can do more with the premise of the series than 2002 did.

This is maybe the best example I’ve seen of app stores being a problematic model. Is there an Android app that could be sideloaded? Definitely isn’t for Apple, and that’s shameful.

Bookmarking this for my content management class.

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.
