So happy to be part of the @snsf-ch.bsky.social -funded project “Inherited Futures? Objects, Time, Knowledge”.

One day left to catch up with the first two fantastic, devastating, tender, infuriating, irresistible episodes of www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m... before the new ones air tomorrow! Via cable TV in CH (or iPlayer with VPN 🙃)

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

Protesting is a right of all Americans under the first amendment. That said, If you're thinking about joining a protest near you, there are some crucial factors to consider in order to stay safe. Our guide from 2022:
How to Protest Safely: What to Bring, What to Do, and What to Avoid
If you’re planning on hitting the streets, this guide may be of some assistance.

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

I sincerely don’t know why people aren’t physically stopping those dorks. Move shit. Lock doors. Lose the keys. Everyone switch seats. Turn off all the lights. Switch the signs on the elevator lobby. Make the settings all silly. Use a different language. Wear costumes. Fill rooms with balloons

“Because the “manosphere” is not just a fringe that has become mainstream, it’s a mainstream that many liberals continue to treat as a fringe.”

The ‘Manosphere’? It’s Planet Earth.
