I know a lot of folks in the comments read this are like "YAAAAS," which, like—I get it. But imagine for a moment a world that exists for more than the next 13 days, and this becomes a milestone that will endure.

First they ban accounts. Then, they ban apps. Finally, they will block websites.

Wowza. A big win for the illiberal censors.
My Resignation From The Intercept The same trends of repression, censorship and ideological homogeneity plaguing the national press generally have engulfed the media outlet I co-founded, culminating in censorship of my own articles. greenwald.substack.com/p/my-…
Facebook + Twitter ≠ Open Internet Facebook + Twitter = Private Publishing I couldn't care less about Biden's alleged corruption (we'll have to see). I just find it amusing that even @voxdotcom has to contend with the drug lords of our info economy. vox.com/recode/2020/10/14/21…
I've often wondered what studying business would have been like instead of my architectural education. This thread by Naval Ravikant is better than anything I could have paid for.

Which of Rick's alt dimensions are we in?

For daily consumers of #internet goodstuff (all of us), last year's video by @coffeebreak_YT is a crucial analysis of how the internal mechanisms of #youtube, #twitter, #instagram, etc. distort the open landscape of information online. youtu.be/fDqBeXJ8Zx8

We too often conflate "the internet" with private platforms like #google that have very curated and stringent gatekeeping in order to deliver a tailored recreation of the open web. These are publishing platforms designed to deliver what they believe you will consume.

McLuhan rightfully warned us that "the medium is the message." It's always useful to scrutinize how this generation of centralized #web2 platforms is conditioning us and for what purpose.
Amen. There is an unbelievable conflation today between the two. People are not ideas and ideas are not people.
Attack ideas, not people. ✅ Attacking an idea gives people room to change their mind. ❌ Attacking a person makes them fight for their life. Depending how deeply an idea is embedded in someone's identity, you may find them quite unwilling to listen. Even violently so.

Btw @GPrime85's creative political work is pure gold. xitter.gq/GPrime85/status/129174…
The Party giveth... and the Party taketh away.
My past advisor and mentor Krzysztof Wodiczko once told me "an artist has to be good at two things, art and something else." Otherwise, you don't maintain the tension and openness that leads to innovation. nytimes.com/2020/01/23/arts/…

What is the 'something else' that has given you your edge and inspiration in your #creative practice or #startup? #entrepreneurship #innovation #community #public #art #monument

It's time to unlock the power of #community when it comes to 'glocal' change. #startup #neighborhood #cities
Startups move in waves: 2010: On demand 2015: Bottoms up SaaS 2020: Community The (early) 2020's will belong to the entrepreneurs who can help build authentic communities.
