🧵 We tend to think the internet is permanent, but VANISHING CULTURE—the new 📚 from Internet Archive—starts with a simple reality: our digital record is far more fragile than we think 🕳️ 📖 Read for free: archive.org/details/vani... 🛒 Purchase in print: www.betterworldbooks.com/product/deta... ⬇️
Book cover titled “Vanishing Culture” on a teal background. Pixel-art style graphics show a VHS tape, open book, film reel, chain link, and vinyl record dissolving into digital fragments. At the bottom, a cursor icon points to the word “SAVE,” alongside an archive-style building icon, evoking digital preservation.

Think Twice Before Buying or Using Meta’s Ray-Bans
Over the last decade or so, the tech industry has tried, and mostly failed, to make “smart glasses”—tech-infused glasses with cameras, AI, maps, displays, and more—a thing. But over the past year,

Banking was never built for collectives. Savings circles were. ROSCAs have helped communities access lump sums without loans or credit for generations, a $500B+ market running on trust. We've brought this model online. Free session, early look at Bread Stacks. Link in our bio!

2025 was a rough year for crypto speculation. But it was an incredible year for crypto-led solidarity. Over 30,000 in yield distributed to member organizations, all thanks to the support of BREAD holders around the world.

How it works: Every month, the Bread Solidarity Fund distributes generated yield. 50% split equally among all members, 50% allocated based on $BREAD holder votes. Baking BREAD = voting power to support causes that matter to you.

Big Tech wants you to believe that if you want bleeding-edge productivity tools, then you must hand over your data. Lumo dispels that notion entirely; here's how you can use AI to be productive while remaining private:

From today, Breadchain will now be known as Bread Cooperative. This is an evolution driven by community feedback and a focus on making sure the tools we build reach those who need them most. Same mission. Same team. Clearer path forward. Check the 🧵 for links!

The AI hatred on this website is insane. There are meaningful conversations to have around consent, scabbing, unemployment, social upheaval - all of these will HAVE TO be talked about, it's coming, and instead, the left is just abandoning reality and leaving it to the right to shape it.

Otherwise, maybe stop LARPing “leftism” Because progressive™️ liberals (liberal in the classical sense) are the most self-aggrandizing group of do-nothing enablers for capitalism’s fascist destruction of humanity and they can’t even see it.

You have to end capitalism first, otherwise nothing else works. ↳ Not communism ↳ Not anarchism (a synonym for Marx’ conception of the former) ↳ Not libertarianism (a synonym for the former, coined by French socialists, later misappropriated to a mostly American, neoliberal movement)

We've all learned that contributors aren't going to report contributions unless there's a direct, immediate incentive to do so, right? ...right????

We don't talk enough about the current trend of ideological cross-pollination in web3, but it's pretty great to see. Voluntary, permissionless, global coordination across diverging sets of values-aligned networks just seems like some kind species-level unlock or something IDK 🤷
