Heard the ever-excellent @blindboyboatclub.bsky.social talking about light sensitivity as a marker for neurodiversity this week, so have been reflecting on my constant need to soften lights and grumble at my wife's monstrous propensity for the big light

Jan 21 is the 75th anniversary of the death of George Orwell

I wrote this one on the 70th anniversary

The keywords change but the principle remains ever-more depressingly relevant

"Totalitarianism begins with language, then with indifference, then fatefully with blind loyalty."
The clocks strike 13: Seventy years after his death, what would Orwell think of the world today?
Seventy years after the death of George Orwell, 2+2 still equals 4, but only just.

Treating news like a commodity, that exists purely to make a profit, is a very big part of the reason we ended up here*

*gestures broadly at everything
Saw a news story on the TL and wanted to read about it. It was paywalled. So then I googled the story, and proceeded to click on the results, the first five were paywalled. Until I eventually got to the story, on a right wing news site that's funded by catholic fascists, that one wasn't paywalled.

.@simonahac.bsky.social is not a billionaire. But there are actual billionaires “crawling all over our democracy”, who won’t be curtailed by Labor’s donor reforms.

I spoke to Holmes à Court about how the changes hurt new entrants, and why that’s bad for democracy:

Simon Holmes à Court on Climate 200, donation reforms and why Kerry Stokes wields more power than he does
Labor’s electoral reforms are framed around diluting the influence of Simon Holmes à Court. But the Climate 200 founder says this will only cut the legs out from under independent challengers.

If we don't fight for change and build systems to amplify more women and progressive voices online, we will be stuck with a media landscape that continues to exacerbate inequality and warps our political landscape for the worse. www.usermag.co/p/the-majori...

Hi everyone.

The Onion, with the help of the Sandy Hook families, has purchased InfoWars.

We are planning on making it a very funny, very stupid website.

We have retained the services of some Onion and Clickhole Hall of Famers to pull this off.

I can't wait to show you what we have cooked up.

The satirical news site planned to turn Infowars into a parody of itself, mocking “weird internet personalities” who peddle conspiracy theories and health supplements.

Here’s a piece everyone who cares or claims to care about the Gaza genocide needs to read. We can’t look away, we can’t normalise mass murder, even if only because this could one day be our fate too.
