Academic articles could be typeset any way we want, so of course most of them are walls of texts with almost no margins. I guess hard, serious work should also be difficult to read.
I think I'm ready to be a shitty monist.

10 years ago Tor Books dropped DRM on all their ebooks.
Tor's still publishing books without DRM and doing just fine.

What an absolute windbag:

> “The reason you’re not funny is because you’re woke,” Musk tweeted shortly after actively sharing a meme that he thought was funny. “Wokism is a lie, which is why no one laughs.”

Dutch news today. We still have more bycicles per 100 people than guns in US per 100 people
Listening to presentations at the Internet Researchers Conference 2022 today. The session is called #thismightnotbeonline and both of the presenters keep dropping offline. I guess the session name was very prescient.

maybe mixing NFTs with copyright contract provisions wasn't a good idea (maybe neither was copyright) https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/sarahemerson/seth-green-bored-ape-stolen-tv-show

Reasons why someone may not want pronouns in their bio:
1. Person doesn’t want to out themselves
Because of:
A. Abusive family
B. Abusive community
C. Not comfortable yet
D. Repressive government
E. Employer retaliation/abuse
2. Persons native language doesn’t have pronouns, and doesn’t want that linguistic imperialism shit pressed on them
3. Person is unsure of their pronouns
4. And more reasons I can’t list in the character limit. But you get the idea.

roses are red
violets are blue
in surveillance capitalism
poem reads you
and shows you ads
for flower shops
and tracks your clicks
and never stops
it cares not about
if privacy's harmed
the money is green
when people are farmed
twitter is cyan
facebook is blue
your friends are the product
and so are you
