I'm coordinator of the democratising tech collective in DiEM25 and it's open to any members who want to join. But if I have to endure even one more onboarding session for another dude trying to teach me that blockchain and "AI" can save us and remove trust from the social equation, I'll have to inform him he's now far exceeded the trust I'd generously put into this social equation and no amount of Bitcoin will ever be enough to make me give one single fuck about the slop manifesto he sent me.

It rarely feels OK to post about anything joyful but in the spirit of determinedly being OK in the midst of this global polycrisis, here's a photo I got to take with Cory Doctorow during his book tour for Picks and Shovels at Red Emma's. He creates lots of great cyberpunk, but he also continues inspiring hope and determination for the smart things we can do to transform our laws and societies. Thank you @Cory Doctorow for your excellent analyses, ideas, and all of the other good work you do 👏👏

Searched for PSL to see if anyone on Mastodon is posting about the Party for Socialism and Liberation but all I found were a bunch of lunatics for whom pumpkin spice lattes are apparently such a regular topic of discussion that they use an acronym to refer to them and I just... want to give up sometimes. Truly.

Please tell me what this might be? I found it and I like it but I don't... know it...

The details of social norms themselves are one of my autistic "special interests" and I find that funny for some reason.
