Funny that we seem to be going in circles.
The web started as a bunch of individuals running their own servers. Then things got professionalized, and we got the mostly benevolent, for-pay corporate services. Now that your data is more valuable than whatever meager subscription fee you're not going to pay for anyway, we're back to trusting the randos.
The plummeting server/software costs help, but it would be impossible without volunteer labor.
It behooves us to support the randos.

As sewage pollutes our rivers and coasts, nurses beg for fair pay while the boss of @AstraZeneca pockets 14m @GraceBlakeley sums up how the ‘Boom&Bust’ neoliberal policies of the Tories have been fiscally fracking Britain since the early 80s #wakeupbritain #EnoughisEnough

Trump's campaign should be covered like bin Laden trying to open a chain of flight schools.
I have rediscovered that dogs are active demonstrators of entropy.
Stormzy vilified for pointing out that Corbyn was vilified

This year, bankers collected the biggest bonuses since the 2008 crash.
Rishi Sunak claims to understand people’s hardships, but his predecessor’s plan to lift the bonus cap remains in place.
1 in 3 children will go hungry this winter, but will nobody think of the bankers?

The Labour Party machine sabotaged the 2017 and 2019 elections, and if you don't know that, it's time you did.
It's no good coming on here and talking about 'winning elections' or' getting the Tories out', when your proven track record is the *exact opposite of that.*

Inflation is simple to explain @RevRichardColes. It’s a measure of the increase in prices in a month compared to the previous year. It is high now as the impact of Putin’s war works through the economy. That war has lasted less than a year so far. A quick thread….. https://twitter.com/revrichardcoles/status/1592793257054187520

You couldn't make this up. Baddiel's "Jews Don't Count" for Ch4 is sponsored by Ford, the company that not only supplied the Nazis leading up to and during WW2 but was founded by Henry Ford, one of the world's most vile anti-Semites and friend of Hitler.

As Matt Hancock makes his lucrative move into light entertainment (while still drawing his generous salary and expenses as an MP), I keep remembering what happened under his watch as health secretary in 2020: https://twitter.com/troovus/status/1261626792764456960

Most fascinating thing about the Ukraine war is the sheer number of top strategic thinkers who warned for years that it was coming if we continued down the same path.
No-one listened to them and here we are.
Small compilation 🧵 of these warnings, from Kissinger to Mearsheimer.

And here we start with @graydesign talk on #darkpatterns
There is a tension between users, stakeholders and society. “Dark patterns are where the user value is supplanted in favor of shareholder value” (Gray et al. 2018)

@richardlock14 @GBNEWS Human rights are above politics and should be defended whether it makes some uncomfortable or not.HRs are more important than football, or any sport. Yes? The World Cup is grubbier now. Let’s face it, it’s been filthy for years. Thinking football matters more than humans lives.
