Developer creates endless Wikipedia feed to fight algorithm addiction ↗︎
↳ This is a very clever idea. Gels with the micro-learning that we need to form robust communities. Golly would it be cool if Wikipedia were more counter-hegemonic and decolonised in its collected knowledge. But the open source model enables this kind of invention, and that’s incredible. — added 10:37am on 10/02/25 ❧
Tesla demand is nosediving in EV-friendly Europe amid Elon Musk’s endorsement of the far right ↗︎

It’s been a minute, and there’s been some significant changes for both mind reader and for me as a human. Today I want to take a moment to appreciate the good and bad of what is emerging and present in our world. Our first shared moment is about the tragic, terrible, and inhumane Trump-Musk-drama that is not only a visceral distraction to churn through the absolute worst vitriol and hate speech at the expense of those already deeply marginalised by American society, but also a very real threat to the nature of contemporary social fabric and cohesion.

The now finely honed machine that is Trumpian politics...

AOC says she's worth less than $500,000 after kickback claims — and seems to get kudos from Trump fans in response ↗︎
↳ The meta, here, that she’s opened herself to criticism around her worth while continuing to strive for her community is absolutely central. If we don’t all show our flaws and live in the values we hold others to what are we? — added 8:41am on 08/02/25 ❧

Extremely temporary hiatus ↙︎ — posted 05/02/25, tagged as

If you're reading this, you may be an extremely avid reader. I am currently taking 7 days of mental health rest from the news in order to steel myself to the onslaught of fascism in the US. Everyone needs a rest some times, take care of yourselves comrades. See you before you even know it.
