Come for another epic thread by the one and only Cory Doctorow, this time on Drumpf’s 🇨🇦tariff tantrums. Stay for the offhand quip about “Wayne Gretzky's shitty rye.”😂😂😂

RIP social media. What comes next is messy.
As social media splinters, how can we keep the new online spaces from devolving into toxic pits of despair?

This is so smart. The people do not yearn for automation! “It is a failure when you ask people to adapt to computers. Computers should adapt to people. Asking people to make themselves more legible to software—to turn themselves into a database—is a doomed idea.” www.theverge.com/podcast/9170...

At some point you realize that the prominent, powerful people you see on your screens are mostly morons who either got lucky or are saying things billionaires want to hear, and that nobody smart or competent is in charge, and we're all just collectively flailing, and it's a miracle anything works.

After much deliberation, I bit the bullet to try @proton.me Drive, in an attempt to be less reliant on US tech. I think listening to this vergecast episode validated my choice music.youtube.com/watch?v=pwq1...

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

More bike lanes = less congestion. But we have to invest in making them a safe mode of transportation for all Calgarians. Think they cost too much? I invite you to come for a bike ride with me and see the difference they can make 1/ #yyc #yyccc #yycbike

Misinformation isn't random - it's strategic. 🧵 In the first cross-national comparative study, we examine 32M tweets from politicians. We find that misinformation is not a general condition: it is driven by populist radical right parties. with @julianachueri.bsky.social doi.org/10.1177/1940...
