I've increasingly been a fan of protectionism for Europe in the digital economy. The problem is we see it like the industrial economy - you can compete with TV, car brands and the consumer gets the benefit. The social media economy are monopolies - FB is a monopoly. X only works if it is a monopoly.

Nowhere in the hysterical pile-on against the BBC in the British press has anyone mentioned that BBC News now has 77 million viewers & listeners in the US and has established itself as the second most trusted news source there.

When I was young, society was geographical. You knew where people lived, either in person or thru the phone book.
Then it became electronic, you knew close friends on FB and broader society on Twitter.
Now it's neither. FB, X etc are mediated by ads, pay-to-play algorithms. Soon it will be AI.

It blows my mind how bad X has become. Twitter was great, if flawed. It really did connect the world, but over time it developed a pile-on culture that needed changing. Musk arrives and it's now a one-way super highway for misinformation and crack-pot conspiracies. Its a staggering cultural loss.

Every one hour of an audiobook takes three hours of work. You burn hours trying to drink away mouth pops, redoing too loud or too soft lines, and forgetting how to say “penguin”

My #AudioDrama tip for today is: Dragon Day on Audible by @bobproehl.bsky.social . I quibbled with some of the characters at the start, but the monologue descriptions wonderfully accomplished and the interview style was a very imaginative approach to audio drama.

In the UK at least, and probably for much of the West, the '90s was probably the peak of prosperity where the opportunities were the highest and basic needs like housing were still obtainable. And yet it produced some of best misery music ever, Radiohead, Portishead, Evanescene. Why?

Reading about some of the tech reasons societies are moving to the far right: People increasingly matter less. Less needed to win wars, less needed for productivity. Tech is making some people redundant, tech moguls see society as a series of fixes, ppl become more isolated from common experiences.

Isn't it weird how climate change is getting increasingly urgent and consequential but occupies less attention in the media?
Was it just that the politics was better in the 90s or that people had more interest in bigger issues, does social media make the concept more contested?
