The slow creep of the manosphere into the mainstream.
“Many boys don’t seek out the manosphere deliberately – they are pulled in gradually by social media algorithms,” Prof Debbie Ging @debbieging.bsky.social explains.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

I wrote about "Boys in the Making" an exhibition by Dr Fiona Whelan and other artists in collaboration with boys and young men from youth projects and schools around Dublin. I really enjoyed meeting them - it's a very cool project www.irishtimes.com/culture/art/...

A Dublin project explores how the world shapes young men by helping some of them to create ‘boys’ as they really see them

I think I've found a way to articulate what bothers me about the trajectory of the modern tech industry (and to some extent... society).

We are on this Earth to provide for each other. That's the "mission" of humanity as I see it.

This is incompatible with what the tech industry seeks to do.
