I’m in Berlin, Germany but Bluesky has decided I need to do KYC to comply with Texas laws. This social media future is both Kafkaesque and Orwellian.

For fucks sake. @julie-brill.bsky.social managed to completely screw up @audreyt.org’s pronouns while introducing them and then dismissed it by saying “whatever”. @mozilla.org why have someone moderate a #mozfest panel on the main stage who can’t get basic pronouns of trans panelists right?

The idea of the "cicada" is great. People who only write occasionally when they have something important to say. It acknowledges that much of what the #substack puts out is filling space. To justify a paid subscription. I'd say the same with podcasts that aren't about processing the weekly news […]
