It's not just "consumer smart" it reduces environmental waste, key materials are often mined in slave conditions. The whole tenor of the article is wrong - why is the economy so dependent on us engaging in mass waste?
www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h... "please, buy new phone. the economy is dying" is an incredible gaslight
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing economy
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

Thrilled to announce this ground-breaking new book, Area X: The Southern Reach Files! The Central agent in question is, of course, Hargraves from Absolution. The book includes some new ways of approaching storytelling, and also I hope will be satisfying in lots of other ways. More in a thread. 1/?

Big, somewhat leftfield news: I am kicking off a podcast with the wonderful @emmanewman.bsky.social under the title Starship Alexandria. It's a cosy book and film recommendation show where we take it in turns to rec things to one another and discuss them.

Rachel Johnson wanted him buried whilst he was mostly known as a trans ally.
Now that same community has turned on him for being a sex predator - now he's just a "cancelled" sex predator and she's a big fan.
It's why she stood by her brother and his pals after all these years after all.
