Last week, a unemployed Texan barred from getting a job in his field by a noncompete agreement stepped up to intervene in the federal lawsuit and defend the FTC's ban on noncompetes that Trump's FTC won't. @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social talked to Ric Davidson about his story & why he decided to fight.
Texan Takes On Corporate Abuse as Trump’s FTC Abandons Workers - The American Prospect
Ric Davidson’s motion to defend the federal ban on noncompete clauses would force the FTC to undertake a formal process to roll it back, not just quietly suffocate it in the dead of night.

2/ In 2001, Borsook said tech "libertarianism" reflected an adolescent mindset, with a craving for unchecked independence & resistance to constraint.
She warned that tech libertarians wanted an anti-human world that worked more like a computer. From "Cyberselfish," a book based on her 90s writing:

We are concerned about the loss of insects, but we live in a fallow desolate land few would recognize; the birds once blotted the sky for hours at a time, the fish so numerous the surface of the waters teemed with them so as to seem like you could walk on the surface. We live in ashes.

Been reading a lot of Chekhov lately. And I don’t know of it’s their content or their age that make reading them so enjoyably haunting for me

I'm always on the lookout for a good tile-based roguelike, and this Finnish fever dream of imps and ice trolls seems like it could have the juice
What can I say? I'm a sucker for "silent but all-seeing forests."

Delighted to see the lovely folks on the Bastionland discord have adapted the worksheet I was commissioned to make for the game into a digital tool set! TTRPGs live and die on the resourcefulness and public spirit of their players! Looks like Mythic Bastionland is in a great place!!
