Not so long ago you could also still get on a plane with ashtrays in the armrests too, which feels wild. 🤯

I have a medical condition, but no wheelchair so no accessible access. Not knowing stage times makes me more likely to come only for headliner, as I can't plan how long I'll be standing etc or without ready access to things I need. It's extremely inaccessible to not share start, stage, end times.

Love the idea in the story of the gig ending a bit earlier so that everyone can hang out, buy merch etc without needing to rush off home. I think people's drinking habits have changed, so everyone's a lot more 'reasonable' by the end of the night, so feels like a great way to build community.

I like the kinda network effect of so many restaurants using a single platform so I don't have to give my entire personal history to 1,000s of random booking sites, but definitely agree that OpenTable is relentless in its spam; texts, emails, reminders, review requests, confirmations 😩

I've had some odd PR emails that felt a lot like this too. They didn't try to flatter, but they went to a lot of detail to describe my most recent three articles, which were a bit all over the place topic-wise, so it made it clear there wasn't really any actual thought, so presumed AI.

I’m very glad that Rebirth decided to act like that entire era just never happened.

I think this is the main reason a lot of people don't trust the Lib Dems and see what they say and what they do as separate things.

Interesting that Zarah put out a detailed statement, and this 'official' one makes loose, vague references that read a lot like "why isn't she doing what the men tell her to?"

Really interesting piece, and Substack vs Ghost was a great example for the point too. I recently read another story about debates on decentralisation and, like this with open source, reminded me of why its such an important concept.

Conversations around decentralisation and the open social web have gotten fairly unproductive, resulting in a letter calling for mutual respect

Im signing it, and with that, I have thoughts regarding discourse, decentralisation and why this space matters.

On discourse and decentralisation
Over the last year, as Bluesky got more popular, conversations about whether Bluesky and ATProto are really ‘decentralised’ have gotten more “popular” as well. These conversations ranged from high-qua...
