Dan Freeman @dfreeman.io · 13/05/2026It dawned on me that my two main channels for US and UK news are respectively titled “WTF Just Happened Today?” (@wtfjht.bsky.social) and “Oh God, What Now?” (@ohgodwhatnow.bsky.social). I don’t know whether that says more about me or about the news, but it surely says something about something. 1121

Dan Freeman @dfreeman.io · 19/03/2026“What was once heralded as a tool to advance individual autonomy and privacy has… become a daily annoyance that breeds cynicism with the very concept of consent itself. Cookie banners do not empower; they weary. They do not inform; they obscure. They do not prevent surveillance; they normalize it.” 050
