“I’ve worked for the Washington Post since 2008 as an editorial cartoonist. … I’ve never had a cartoon killed because of who or what I chose to aim my pen at. Until now.” https://anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-quitting-the-washington-post?utm_campaign=post&triedRedirect=true

I'd say podcast tech "moves very slowly", but even that's generous — podcast tech hardly moves at all.

But that's a GOOD THING!

Most efforts to move podcast tech "forward" have failed due to insufficient adoption. But most would’ve meant more potential for platform lock-in and increased ad-tech and tracking possibilities, either by design or as unintended consequences.

Podcasts' technical simplicity is not a problem to be solved — it's a defense from platform vultures and ad-tech assholes.

The Internet is fine and vaccines are nice, but I will burn this mother down if they don't give a Nobel prize to whoever put graph paper lines on the inside of wrapping paper.

Of course he does...

Elon Musk backs German far right party.

Musk is backing the AfD in the upcoming German election after Olaf Scholz's coalition collapsed.

Musk has already expressed support for other far-right, anti-immigration parties across Europe.

He will join Trump’s administration as an advisor.

"Ohhh we're losing all of our land to solar panel farms... "
No. We're not. This is a lie. And it's meant to deceive us into sticking with fossil fuels for longer.
Excellent data-driven, graphics-based story from the Australian ABC at..

The last 2 weeks shamefully exemplify the hierarchy of human life:
•1 CEO killed—national news for weeks, new security hired, people charged with terrorism
•488 mass shootings in 2024—no major legislation to stop future shootings
•200K+ Palestinians killed—send even more bombs to Netanyahu

This is unsustainable. This is unacceptable. This is indefensible. This must change.
