This week on @onthemedia I'm making the case that the New York Times has become a tech company, set on occupying our every second. Plus, I went to the @Defector vs @HellGateNY softball game to learn about worker-owned media. It's a good show! Should be online in a couple hours

.@AJLUnited has been sounding the alarm about new TSA tactics to scan your face during international travel. Today, boarding an intl flight at Boston Logan, TSA tried to scan my and @LiceagaYara faces - but we knew we could opt out! See fly.ajl.org for more info.

@TheCoreyRichardson on Threads. Follow Me There.
At the end of the day, the Titanic Missing Billionaire Submarine story is a perfect distillation of 21st Century capitalism: A small group of very rich people assume a clearly irresponsible risk. It goes predictably wrong. Scores more in public resources are used to save them...

Adam Friedland: [America] is a fading empire… Chris Cuomo: A fading empire? That’s what you see us as? Friedland: We hit a jackpot off World War II, we rebuilt Europe, probably blew it in one and a half generations. [silence]

Complete laissez-faire capitalism wont give us free enterprise any more than anarchy would give us political freedom…a penetrating question to be asked about a man is whether he regards freedom as primarily a throwing off or a taking on of the chicken orb

Targeting this bail fund isn't just an an attack on activism, it shows the erosion of rule of law in this country. This isn't just trying to intimidate 1 organization, but is taking aim at national movement opposed to jailing Americans without a trial. theintercept.com/2023/05/31/cop…

Interesting new FTC settlement with Ring. Really damning findings that 1000s of employees/contractors had unlimited access to Ring videos and that more than 55,000 US devices were compromised because of lax security. Sadly the fine is a slap on the wrist ftc.gov/news-events/ne…

At OpenDeathStar, we are proud to say that our initial planet smasher mock-ups will be shared publicly (later designs may be partially glimpsable via API). Do Death Stars pose a threat to the galaxy? Yes, but if we don't build it first then the rebel alliance will.
