Just got an email from Lyft asking me to oppose NYC congestion fees and other fees. I have never had a Lyft account, so who did they buy my email from? Also, fuck cars.

The Financial Times, which endorsed Labour, is also now punishing tax-hiding advice, calling sensible welfare funding "tax raids". (As a PhD seeking postdocs I have no idea why it's algorithm thought to recommend this to me.)

Adobe has given itself system level permission to see how I interact with my phone (screenshots) so it can upsell me OCR. It's already scanning without consent and comparing formats to something because this only comes up when it's a screenshot of text, but not images like my home screen.

@attackerman.bsky.social your piece on impact journalism got me from free to paid subscriber. I probably think about your book at least once a week. I'd like to send you a copy of my dissertation back. But the ghost contact form is noreply so let me know how.
