1/ A longtime Wired editor just wrote a mush-brained essay about how he totally missed the political rot of Silicon Valley (& still doesn't get it).
But in the late 1990s, a Wired journalist warned of a toxic ideology bubbling up from tech. Paulina Borsook has largely been erased. Let's change that

In Formation #3. Put Mad Magazine, Wired, Art Forum & 1984 in a blender, add a dollop of acid & a pint of technoparnoia & distill into a lavishly designed & printed 160-page magazine. Written & designed inside the belly of the Silicon Valley beast. @jeffjarvis.bsky.social DM if you'd like a copy. 1/

It should be hitting shelves of Barnes & Noble in early October. Some independent bookstores have it, and you can order it at informationmagazine.com (but you have to pay for shipping which kind of stinks).

If Canada, Mexico and Panama 100% cut off the USA that’d put an end to it pretty quickly. Canada alone supplies 60% of USA crude, gas prices would be $10/gal.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

Donald Trump Suggests DEI Is To Blame For D.C. Air Collision Despite Acknowledging That “We Do Not Know What Led To This Crash.” 🤦♂️ “This is a bad situation that looks like it should have been prevented. NOT GOOD!!!” Sums up Trump’s two terms.
